Hello and welcome to our All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team blog hop for September 2020. We have some fabulous projects and inspiration for you using the Playing with Patterns Suite on this hop and in our Tutorial Bundle.
What are tutorial bundles I hear you ask?
Each
month the Tutorial Bundle contains 12 tutorials with projects and
inspiration all featuring the same selected suite or bundle from the
Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The tutorials are compiled
into a fabulous PDF providing photos, a link to how-to video
instructions, a list of supplies used and measurements in both Metric
and Imperial.
Join my Team - team members will receive the tutorials for FREE.
Purchase - Buy the Bundle for £11.50. You can buy in any currency and PayPal will do the conversion for you.
When I saw this suite in the catalogue the letter dies jumped out at me and I could see so many possibilities - names, numbers for birthdays and anniversaries, hello and thanks to name but a few. The adhesive sheets make adhering the letters to your project really easy. Foam adhesive sheets, which are a solid sheet of dimensionals, can also be used to give your project lift. 
The Designer Series Paper pack has an array of fabulous patterns. I chose to use a pattern featuring a colour that I rarely use - Crushed Curry. It's teamed up with Night of Navy for a bold looking card. I made a little set of them and they combine several things that make me happy when I'm card making - matting and layering, stitched edges and embossing (especially using the Subtle folder!). 
There was also the added bonus of two projects for the price of one because I featured the negative space that the letters left behind, saving the solid letters for another day. 
Before you continue on your way around the hop here is a sneak peek of my project included with in the Tutorial Bundle this month.

And on to my project for the hop!

There was also the added bonus of two projects for the price of one because I featured the negative space that the letters left behind, saving the solid letters for another day.
So that I could replicate the Happy Birthday 2 U graphic multiple times I laid the letters out on my grid paper and taped them together so that I could die cut them as if they were a single die. I applied adhesive sheet or foam adhesive sheet to pieces of card and die cut the letters inside a layering sqaure die all in one go. This nests neatly onto a Stitched Square.
I decided to replace the bubbles within the letter B back into the negative space. The easiest method that I found to do this was to adhere the negative space graphic to the stitched sqaure and then carefully peel the backing off only the bubble parts of the letter B, replace the die cut B back into it's hole and then stick the bubbles onto the die cut square through the holes in the B. Finally, you carefully remove the solid die cut B, leaving the bubbles behind. The pokey tool end of my Take your Pick tool was very useful for this!
