Share It Sunday Blog Hop - September 2025

Sunday, 28 September 2025

It's time for another Share It Sunday Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and we are sharing our projects with you as part of this blog hop. There is no theme for our blog hop today. We share projects we are working on to inspire you!

Today's card is the second one I made using the Floating Shape technique. This one uses the negative piece that I cut out from the first card - crafters always save the "left overs" to use on another project, right! I love the Branching Out Bundle from the Stampin' Up!® Sep to Dec Mini Catalogue!

Instructions

Cut Early Espresso cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
Cut Old Olive cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
Cut Very Vanilla cardstock 3 1/2 x 4 3/4"
Cut Window Sheet 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
Cut Designer Series Paper 1/2" x 4 3/4" - you'll need about 8-10 pieces
Adhere to the window sheet with a slight gap between.
Cut out the shape from the middle to use on a second project (you can check out my second project here)
Stamp branch and pine boughs on Very Vanilla cardstock using Early Espresso ink.
Adhere the Window Sheet to the Very Vanilla cardstock using Dimensionals
Adhere to the card base.
Punch out circle from Very Vanilla cardstock using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch
Stamp sentiment on circle using Early Espresso ink.
Wrap Old Olive Linen Thread around fingers. Pinch in the middle and remove.
Adhere to card base in bottom right corner.
Adhere circle over Linen Thread using Dimensionals
Adhere embellishments.
