New at SU! blog hop - June 2026 - 2 tone cardstock Summer theme

 Welcome to the June blog hop for New at SU!  Our theme is to use two-tone cardstock and create with Summer in mind.  

This has given me a chance to create another 8x8 page for my memory keeping, a beach holiday we had before Christmas this past year.  

The two-tone cardstock is new to me, so I grabbed the Beautiful Ordinary Life 12x12 and matching cardstock to play with.  

I love that there is a white core so its perfect for tearing!  If you tear it, pulling one side towards you, the white core is exposed well.  You can also roll the edges slightly as the cardstock is thinner and more pliable.  I used both sides of the cardstock (both lighter and darker shades) which gave that feel of 'waves' of a beach.  

Another fabulous idea to play with the white core is to emboss your two-tone cardstock then buff the raised edges with a nail file or sandpaper.... the exposed sections really shows off the embossed pattern even more!  

I combined both the tearing and the sandpaper on my title!  I cut both titles, one in the Pool Party and Daffodil Delight then adhered one on top of the other, using only adhesive on the top half of the letters.  I then tore these off and added some sanding to the sides of the letters.  

Its been lovely to create again with the Design team at New at SU!  Follow along the links below so you can hop along to the other projects - amazing work that will keep you inspired for weeks!  

Happy creating, 

Rach

Come Create a Card - Saying Goodbye to our 2024-2026 InColour

 Hi there crafters,

Welcome to another fun fold for this weeks CCCM on Youtube.  

Its almost that time of the year to welcome in new products in a catalogue that switches InColour selections and of course that also means some will retire.  The 2024-2026 colours have included some of my favourites so it will be sad to see them go.  I created a simple card for this one, using all 5 colours.

Come Create a Card with me - a triple panel fun fold

  

Hi there crafters,

This weeks video wanted to show off the fabulously gold foiled DSP called Lovely & Beautiful..  I've popped up a video on Youtube and its perfect for a fast card or for beginners.  The trickiest park is cutting the font panel to create 3 separate flaps or panels. 

Grab your DSP and your trimmer, this one will have you going back time and time again for a fun fold that is easy and gives a little surprise when its opened.  Don't forget to watch the video for the step by step instruction to construct this card as well as grabbing the PDF on the right hand column.... 

Happy Stampin, Rach x
