TGCDT - June 2022 - Elegant Eucalyptus


 

Hello & Welcome to Crafting Down Under. My name is Brenton. And this is my monthly Gentlemen Crafters Design Team Blog Hop. The Gentlemen Crafters Design Team (#TGCDT) are a group of male crafters & Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, that love to share our creative side with you on the 2nd Friday of each month. Be sure to visit all the presenters in this month's hop - links can be found at the bottom of this post.

        For my BLOG HOP I am sharing a card using our Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folder. I fell in love with this the moment I saw it and knew just exactly what I wanted to create for you all. Created a couple Clean and Simple cards, including a masculine card, and a card for the intermediate and avid stamper. The Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folder was released in our NEW 2022 Annual Catalogue & like I said before, I feel instantly in Love with it's Aussie Bush charm. Today I'll also be showing you a few extra techniques & products as well as using the usual Stamps, Ink & Paper to create this Stunning Cards. 

    I do hope you Enjoy & Like what I have created for you,
