Hello, Welcome to the New at SU blog hop for July. This month our team are showcasing our beautiful metallic products. I’ll be sharing the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper which is part of the Thoughtful Journey Suite. I also added some other metallic elements to my card from our varied range of products.
On the embossed White Cardstock I roughly applied some Copper Metallic Enamel Effects with a brush. Then I added a layer of the Specialty DSP at the bottom. This pack comes in the 2024-2026 In-Colors and are shaded in an ombre style so each sheet will have a variation in colour.
Several pieces of foliage were die cut from Crumb Cake and Basic White Cardstock. For variation, I watercoloured some leaves in Wild Wheat in a very rustic fashion so that the white still showed through. On this I added some die cut Glimmer Flowers in Petunia Pop.
Some Copper Clay Linen Thread (coming in our September – December Mini Catalogue) and Metallic Enamel Effects Dots finish of this card.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my creation. Stop by my Facebook Page at 10am AEST to see me create a variation on this card. I hope this inspires you to try out some of our Metallic and Specialty products.
Next on our hop is Sharon Dalton. Please follow our hop through for lots of beautiful metallic inspiration.

Hello, Welcome to our Around the World on Wednesday blog hop for July. Has our bananas theme got you a bit confused? Well, it had me confused at the start but I was told that Bananagram is a word game. I’m all in for a word game.
Our challenge today is to CASE a team member, spelling out our design elements in tile format like a word game.
CASEing is to Copy and Selectively Edit a project and today Cheryll Miller and I have been paired together for this bananas challenge which has been put together by our leader Angie McKenzie. I love our CASE the team member challenge each year as Angie has a heart for friendships and loves when we get to know each other as a team. So part of our challenge parameters is to get together on Zoom, chat and find out about each other, our families, what we like and work out what we’re CASEing .
Cheryll and I had a wonderful catch up over Zoom for nearly an hour and we got to know each other so much more. We decided to CASE each other today. Cheryll particularly liked a project that I recently shared which had lots of layers on it and I loved a project which Cheryll created for one of our AWOW blog hops earlier this year, which had lots of collage elements to it.
Out came the Scrabble board tiles to create our elements for our Bananas challenge. At the heart of stamping is friendship and that’s what our community is about so we had to incorporate that in our board.
This is Cheryll’s card which I CASEd. I copied along with similar colours and used her watercolouring techniques. Click on the image to see how Cheryll created her card.
I used several stamp sets to create my base, layering the images for lots of texture. After creating my base, I started applying the layers. I added some Gold embossing which gave it a bit more of a vintage look.
The flowers from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set were stamped in Jet Black Stazon ink and watercoloured. I added a touch of Fresh Freesia for some variation against the background.
The collage look was continued on the label which was die cut from the Full of Life Designer Series Paper and blended with ink to tone in with my background.
Thank you for stopping by. To see a variation of this card being made, please hop on to my FB Live tonight 7:30 PM AEST.

Hello and welcome to this week’s CASEing the Catty Challenge. For CTC477 the Crew are CASEing the colours of the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. This DSP incorporates some In-Colors and Core colours from our range and includes Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Misty Moonlight, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat.
I’ve chosen these colours for my card and with the combination including Misty Moonlight, I wanted to create something using the Seaside Wishes bundle.
I started by embossing a piece of Basic White Cardstock with the Seaside Wishes Embossing Folder. Then I blended some Early Espresso on it and as I kept looking at this piece, wasn’t quite happy with the colour. So I added some Misty Moonlight over it. The way this turned out made me think under-the-sea and Little Mermaid and my card just went in that direction.
With a Palette Knife I added some Copper Enamel Effects on the embossed panel which I also spread around with my finger. I love how this looked.
On the card base I added a piece of Wildly Flowering DSP which has the tone-on-tone flowers and topped it with a panel of Wild Wheat embossed with the criss-cross Embossing Folder which is part of the Basics Pack in our Online Store. Three panels of Thoughtful Journey DSP, layered onto Misty Moonlight Cardstock provide the base for all my die cut pieces
The coral was die cut from the Thoughtful Journey DSP which provided a lovely textured look. I added some shells die cut from Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper which coordinated with the Enamel Effects used on the base.
At this point I thought the shells were sufficient bling but I couldn’t help myself. To finish off my card I added some sequins coloured with the Dark Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend. This added just a subtle amount of sparkle without detracting from the other elements.
I hope you have enjoyed my CASE this week. For a product list please scroll to the bottom of this post. Click on the Next button to follow through to Peta Stephen’s blog to see her beautiful project and follow through our hop for lots more inspiration.

Happy Saturday friends, Welcome to this week’s Crafty Collaboration Monochromatic challenge. With Real Red as our colour of the week, I couldn’t resist creating a Christmas card. How early is too early to get a start on those Christmas cards?
I used the So Very Merry stamp set and heat embossed the image in gold. This was coloured with Real Red and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I fussy cut around the Santa and added him to a tag which had been die cut from the Merriest Trees dies.
The tag was stamped with the Drizzling Droplets background stamp and I added a layer of Real Red Cardstock which had been embossed with the Snowflake Sky folder.
The pine leaves are from the Winterly Tree Tops bundle which will be available in our September – December Mini Catalogue. I added some gold ribbon, a heat embossed sentiment and embellishments to bring in an extra festive look to this card.
You can purchase these products from my Online Store. Use the list below to help you with your selection.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are inspired by what I have shared. Maybe you will start on some of your Christmas projects!
Enjoy your weekend and I hope to see you back here very soon.

Welcome to the Caseing the Catty Sunday Challenge Blog Hop CTC472. Today’s challenge is to CASE a project from the Take to the Sky Suite in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. This suite was the first one I purchased from this catalogue. I loved that it was a masculine themed suite and i really liked the DSP which had some tags and individual images which could be used on projects.
Today, I’ve CASED a technique which is demonstrated on Page 36 of the catalogue with the repeated die cuts used to create an interesting background.
I used the Heartfelt Hexagon punch to create the background, punching out several shapes from Basic White Cardstock, Then I embossed them with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder. These were adhered to a Basic White matte layer.
EMBOSSING FOLDER TECHNIQUE
To replicate the centre DSP panel in the original card, I added another embossed punched hegaxon on top. I coloured the background of this shape with the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. Then I coloured the flowers with Lemon Lime Twist and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends adding some lighter shading with Granny Apple Green and Calypso Coral Watercolor Pencils.
Instead of having this as an inlaid panel, I mounted this on top of the shape underneath, adding Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it more depth.
The cake from the Attention Shoppers bundle was coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I felt this image looked a bit lost on it’s own so I added some flowers and leaves around it. The floweres were die cut from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper while the die cut leaves were lightly watercoloured in Lemon Lime Twist for an organic look.
A bow, coloured with the Dark Peach Pie Stampin’ Blend, brings my little cluster of elements together.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog. Next on our hop is my friend Rochelle Blok who will have some beautiful inspiration for you.
