Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle – Creativity Abounds Monthly Tutorial and Blog Hop – August 2021

19 August 2021
12 Comments

19 Aug

Hello, my crafty friends, 

Welcome to my blog. 

My today’s card for the Creativity Abounds Design Team Blog Hop, a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world come together to share our creative ideas with you.   

Blog Hop Theme: Anything from the Mini Catalogue but Christmas.

We highlight the New Mini Catalogue July – December 2021. 

I used Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Bundle. Beautiful Bundle and one of my favourites from the Mini Catalogue.

Here is my card, 

You may be starting here or have come from someone else’s blog – either way, there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get inspiration. 

I used the colours Night of Navy, Basic White, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Balmy Blue and, White Vellum. 

  • Base Card Night of Navy – 10.5 cm by 29.7cm scored@ 14.9cm 
  • Layer1 Night of Navy: 10 cm by 14.4 cm (embossed using tasteful textile embossing folder )
  • Layer 2 Basic White: 9 cm by 13.4 cm 
  • Layer 3 Smoky Slate: 8.7cm by 13.1 cm 
  • Smoky Slate: 10cm by 14.4cm ( Inside )
  • Basic White: 9.8 cm by 14.2 cm ( Inside )
  • Stamped the background stamps on Smoky Slate cardstock using Stampin’ classic Smoky Slate ink.
  • Then I stamped the leaf image using VersaMark Ink on White Vellum cardstock and heat emboss using a heat tool. 
  • Die-cut all the leaves and added one on top to another using Stampin’ dimensional and glue.
  • Stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy Cardstock using Versamark Inkpad and used white embossing powder. 
  • As a final added the glided gems, white ink and Clear wink of Stella to the background.
  • Decorated inside of the card using some of the die-cut pieces. 
Hope you like my today’s project. Leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you all.

Today's hop is for the Hop Abroad April 2026 Instagram Hop.
Each month, we come together with a fun and inspiring new theme, and for this month’s hop we are chasing the catalogue.
For this project, I chose to feature an image from page 41 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue 2025–2026. As this catalogue will soon be retiring, it felt like the perfect time to revisit some of its beautiful inspiration and give it one more moment to shine.

Make it Masculine Today’s post is by the Piccadil Make it Masculine 
Today’s post is by the Piccadilli Players about masculine cards, and I wanted to create something a little different Masculine card with a vintage feel.

For this card, I used the Gears and Texture Bundle, which is a fantastic set for masculine projects. To create the background, I started with watercolor paper and blended Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, and Pecan Pie for a rich, aged look.

I love how the colours and texture came together to create a masculine card with a unique vintage style.
We have more inspiration using Masculine cards today. Let's see what Su @aromasandart created.

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Bl Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop. Every month we have a different theme, and this month it’s all about simple techniques you’ll use forever.
One technique I always go back to is splattering… I like to call it my little “splatter of happiness” 😊 You’ll see it in most of my cards, I just feel it adds that extra touch and makes both me and the person receiving it a little happier.
For this card, I used watercolours to colour the flowers. I actually got this set on OnStage2026 and didn’t use it there with blends, but when I came home I tried it with watercolours instead - and I really love how it turned out! 
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!
