New @ SU blog hop October 2026

 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 project that are  "Fontastic". 

Stamped , die cut or hot foiled there are so many different fonts available from Stampin' Up! It was hard to choose what to use! 

In the end I went with alphabet dies. I have used both the largest ones and the smallest!

 The largest ones are called Party Alphabet and they have such an impact on any project that I decide they were perfect not only as a focal point but also part of the structure of the card it's self!

This peek-a-boo style is a great way to add a little something extra to a card for sure!

To create the front of the card start by die cutting 2 cardstock and 1 pattern paper of each of the letters. Adhere the 2 cardstock ones together but leave the pattern paper ones seperate for now.

Next you're going to need a piece of cardstock measuring 21cm x 12.4cm scored at 9.9cm.  ( 8¼" x 4¾" scored at 1") 

You're also going to need 4 pieces of cardstock each measuring 21cm x 2.5cm ( 8¼" x 1")

To create the peek-a-boo use a pencil to gently draw a line alone the bottom of the large panel of your cardbase 2.5cm (1") up. This will be your guide as you place the letter die cuts. Ahere the top most of the letters along the edge of the folded over panel of the card base. Then align one of the 2.5cm (1") strips along the bottom edge of the card base and adhere the bottom of the letter die cuts to it. Making sure that the edges of the strip remain aligned to the cardbase. 

Next sandwich the bottom of the letters with another of the 2.5cm (1") strips. This gives strength to the card.

The remaining 2 strips have been dry embossed using the softly woven 3d embossing folder and adhered onto the top and bottom panels as shown.

The pattern paper die cuts are then adhered on top to give this pretty finish.

The inside of the card is decorated using contrasting pattern paper so that the letters are highlighted.  The word birthday is created  using the other alphabet dies set called Mini Alphabet. I then used a scrap of acetate to adhere the letters to so that they can be firmly fixed over the peek-a-boo elements.  

The reverse of the card is where you will write your personal message. 

Of course you have to decorate everywhere so a scrap of paper and one of the amazing hot foil sentiments from the Classic Greetings set in gold foil worked perfectly 👌 

There is also a bonus projects for today's inspiration made using the left over pattern paper which was used to die cut the large letters from!

Waste not want not after all 😉

The birthday word  die cut from a set called Words and Wishes.

 And of course I couldn't leave the inside unadorned so used some more scraps and left over sentiment. 

Well that's it from me for this hop. I do hope you'll leave a comment and hop over to all the other incredibly talented demo's taking part and leave comments for them too of course!

Have fun and enjoy the creativity
