Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing embossing products from the Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I chose the Distressed Tiles embossing folder and paired it with the new Mediterranean Suite.

Thank You
We're finishing up this week with another Sketched Butterflies card. This one actually came about using up some left over pieces from other projects. Plus it gave me a chance to practice my coloring the butterfly. I actually have one more project using this bundle. I'll share that one in a little bit. Next week, we are on to something new. Check back on Monday to see what's in store. Sketched Butterflies Bundle (English) - … [Read more...] about Thank You
A Simple Little Card
This was meant to be a quick and simple card. And then I had to make it complicated. I loved the scattering of all the little butterflies, but the card looked flat. So I stamped more little butterflies, then cut them out individually, and added them with pop dots. It adds a little something to the card having additional layers. However, the card would have been just fine without adding the extra layer of butterflies. Don't worry, I have … [Read more...] about A Simple Little Card
Sketched Butterflies
I'm a sucker for butterfly stamps. If there's a butterfly stamp in the catalog, it's guaranteed that I'm going to purchase it. Usually, I color butterflies like a Monarch butterfly, in oranges and yellows. This time, I went with purple. I absolutely love this stamp set. I made a bunch of cards with it and will be sharing them all week. Check back on Wednesday to see more of this set. Sketched Butterflies Bundle (English) - … [Read more...] about Sketched Butterflies
Dearest Friend
Summer heat can be a lot in SoCal. I think we have another two months before the heat starts to drop. Every Winter, I can't wait for the rain to stop and the days to warm up. And by mid-Summer, I'm ready for a bit of chill in the air. I'm already dreaming about cooler days. This pattern paper reminds me of Winter sunsets, where the sun is turning the sky a beautiful purple. I love the nature scenes in this pattern paper set. They make amazing … [Read more...] about Dearest Friend
Thanks!
Oh my goodness, the Thoughtful Journey Suite is just amazing. The more I use it, the more I love it. The pattern paper is just amazing. The colors are fabulous. It's so easy to make a quick thank you card with just a bit of stamping and die cutting. If you ever feel like you're not creative, a product suite is a great place to start. Suites have stamps, dies, paper, embellishments, and usually ribbon too. And everything coordinates together! … [Read more...] about Thanks!
Did You Know?
Did you know that you can color any of our ribbons using our Blends markers? This means you can have ribbon in just about any of our colors. I used one of our Fresh Freesia Blends markers to color this beige ribbon. When coloring your ribbon, you will need to allow it time to dry. Otherwise, you may get ink on your project. I will usually let it dry for a couple hours or overnight before trying to use the ribbon. By being able to use my … [Read more...] about Did You Know?
Thoughtful Journey Suite
I told myself I didn't need another floral stamp set. And then I saw the dies that came with it. And the paper. And then tons of fabulous ideas online from other people. So of course I had to get it. This Suite did not disappoint. The pattern paper is absolutely gorgeous. Plus the coordinating foil specialty paper is amazing as well. I used a bit of it to cut out my purple stems below. I don't know that I would usually pair dark green … [Read more...] about Thoughtful Journey Suite
