Welcome to September’s “New at SU” blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! Today we are showcasing products that Shimmer, Glimmer, Shine & Glow!!! Oh my!

So as you know, there were so many things to choose from, but I think you are going to like my featured product. It’s an online exclusive that was just released this month called, Silver & Gold ADHESIVE BACKED glimmer paper. What? Adhesive backed? Yes!! And it’s awesome!!

After I got started making my card, I also decided to feature another new Online Exclusive DSP and guess what, it too has a bit of shine on the paper. It’s called Shining Christmas Specialty DSP and it is YUMMY!!

It’s kind of hard to see from the picture, but the Cherry Cobbler shines on each of the “A”sides of the paper. Look at the diagonal stripe, it shows the shine the best. Plus I add a couple other accents that “shimmer” or “shine” as well. Simply Elegant Trim, Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins & the red Pearlized Enamel Effects.

Are you ready for my project now?

Ahhh! So cute! I love this little giraffe guy. He was so fun to color.

Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop for June. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! Today we are showcasing products from the Annual Catalog that are geared toward kids.

There are so many fun ones in this new catalog!

For the blog hop this month, I chose the stamp set, “It’s A Science”. When I saw this stamp set, I was so excited! In the time that I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! demo, I don’t think we’ve ever had a stamp set like this.

When I think of kids, I think of bright colors and fun. For this card I chose two different color palettes. I couldn’t decided which one I liked more so I made both. Which one do you like?

Stamp around the edge of a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of card stock.

Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! Today we are showcasing the new 2023-2025 In Colors. Each of us has taken an In color and paired it with some of the core colors. Hope you enjoy!!

These cards were so easy to make! The technique is called Cross Stamping.

Keep scrolling for steps to make your own cards.

Start by choosing 3 colors and a stamp set. Then trim your paper to 8 x 10 1/2. Next stamp in the center of the page both vertical and horizontal.

After you are done stamping, cut the paper into four quarters each piece measuring 4 x 5 1/4.

Pick coordinating card bases and decide which direction you want to use each piece.

Finish by stamping a sentiment and embellishing with dots or sequins.

That’s it. Thanks for stopping by!!
