{Stampin Sunday Blog Hop - Say Hello to...}

Hello, and a huge warm welcome to anyone joining via the blog hop.

There are so many gorgeous products to choose from in this year's January to June mini catalogue, and such a variety to suit all tastes.

Please remember to have a look at the other amazing stampers taking part in this hop, the list will be at the bottom of this post.

I decided to use the Grassy Grove bundle to show off, however confession time, I ended up using only the dies!

When I first saw them in the catalogue I fell in love with them, the detail is exceptional, and I love that they're great for creating masculine style projects.

For example here is a bag made from a 6" x 12" piece of card and the main die. 

Behind the trees I have stuck a piece of vellum from the Layering Designs pack.

I used the vellum with the white map, it created a lovely soft background.

Here is the card made using lots of the other die.  There are trees, scenery and deer cut from white card stock and more of the vellum all layered up.

Thank you so much for taking a look, to see how I created these check out this video

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Night Before Christmas}

Hi there crafters, my name is Ruth and welcome to another...

Each month a team of creative demonstrators bring some fab ideas based on a set  or theme of products.

This month we are looking at the Night Before Christmas suite.

I choose the papers to purchase and play with.

I decided to make 3 items following a similar format. 

Here is a simple box decorated with the papers and coordinating colour card. I used the Stitched Stars Dies and leaf punches to cut additional embellishments.

Here is a card, this time with some elements cut out from the papers.

Finally a little bag ready to put a gift in.

Here is a video tutorial of how I cut and assembled everything

{One Sheet Wonder Wednesday - Magnolia Blooms meets Beautiful Friendship}

After using the Beautiful Friendship set last week, I've become quite obsessed with it.  So much so I had to see how it married up with another new set called Magnolia Blooms.  Now if it looks familiar, but you haven't noticed it in the catalogue, that's because it isn't in there!  It is featured in a brand new mini catalogue for beginner stampers.  Please let me know if you would like a copy.

 It contains these lovely floral elements and 3 very useful sentiments.

I had the idea of using the rose elements of Beautiful Friendship to "colour in" the Magnolia flowers.

Here is the video of the stamping and making of the bag.

This a super simple and quick little project if you need a couple of little bags for gifts etc.

By sticking to one colour and using tones within it, it really highlights the beauty of the stamps.
