New at SU Blog Hop with New Products- Gathering Moments

 


Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and help get you crafting! This month our theme is to use new products from the September-December Mini Catalog or from the New Online Exclusive Products!



 I am sharing with you cards made with the Online Exclusive Products released in September....
Gathering Moments! 

This bundle is also part of the Gather Together Suite which includes, DSP, embossing folder, and embellishments! (scroll down to see it all).
It is a perfect Fall set and would be great to add to any collection!

Below are 4 cards I made with this set!


Fun Fold with a Gift Card Holder option inside.
This one really shows the DSP well and the stamped images die cut out.


This card shows how you can use the Old Olive Linen Thread to create a stitch along the center of the leaf. These dies are great because you have an option to stitch or not to stitch.


This card, might be my favorite, because we see the beautiful detail of the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder (click on image to see it bigger). I also created a garland arch with the stamped leaves, which I just love!


Lastly, I am sharing this card with the leaf with no stitching holes but the leaf is embossed and I used some of the background "texture" stamps that are part of this set.
You can get the FULL tutorial on this card when you click HERE.

This is just ONE of the new products that came out this month!
To see even MORE keep hoping!
