{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Stamparatus}

Hello, and welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop featuring the Stamparatus.

It is my absolute honour to be invited to take part in this again, do remember to have a look at the other blogs in this hop for more creative ideas with the Stamparatus (not long now to be able to order one).

The first project is a card with a background created with the Stamparatus.  I know it's quite subtle, however if you look closely you can see that the Marbled Stamp mage is more than one colour.

Here is how I did it

The next project is a bag, again I used a bit of the background I had created before, then I used the Stamparatus to create a repeat border all around the top of the bag... I promise it really is all the way round!

Here is how I did that...

Do you spot some new products? As well as the fab new colours, I also used some gorgeous new embellishments in the way of coloured pearls and faceted gems, aren't they yummy?!  If you can't wait till June to get your hands on these, then how about joining the Stampin' Up! club? For £99 you can choose £130 of product, and these sneak peek items are on the list of what you can choose.
