-{Summer Mini Blog Hop ILWS}-

Hi there, welcome to my blog, you may have got here via Amanda's Gorgeous Blog.

I've taken part in a Blog Hop, organised on the fab forum In Love With Stamping.  If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop click {here} to go to Alison's blog.

All the blog's on this hop should be featuring the lovely new goodies in the Summer Mini catalogue.  (Please contact me if you would like a copy).

As a demonstrator we can get our hands on the new products a full month before anyone else, here is what I have made with the beautiful Attic Boutique Designer Series Papers.  Do you also see the pleated Ribbon? That's a new addition too!

I made a card holder inspired by the one Heather made {here}.  I changed the dimensions so it would hold C6 size envelopes.

Here it is opened up.

Here are the four cards that fit inside.

Do you spy something new below? It's Baker's Twine, I am so pleased Stampin Up have decided to stock this, it is so trendy at the moment and so pretty on cards.  It comes in all the 2011-2013 In Colours, and a White.  It's also at a bargain price of £2.50 for 22.9 metres.

Thank you for visiting today, click {here} to hop to Jan's blog.

More from this beautiful set, this time using a slightly different colour palette.

I experimented by stamping onto the paper flower, before using the sponge daubers on it.  Used the Decorative label punch to create the label with the sentiment.

Bought this set a couple of weeks ago, I had seen it used so beautifully on other cards it had been on my wish list.  This card only remained in my possession a few days, as a friend bought it as soon as she saw it!  I'll have to make another one!

I masked off the central area with a sticky note and scored a square with my Fiskars paper trimmer using the score blade (available through Stampin Up).  The flower is one from the set of Paper Daisies, you get 40 in a packet of various sizes.  They are really easy to colour as the come plain white.

For the men...

Had a play with the stamp set Need for Speed and the Well Worn papers.

The Decorative Label Punch is so versatile for creating small shapes as well as the standard one it punches.  To do this, use some tape runner to stick a long piece of scrap  paper to your first punch out, then position and then punch.

Holly Berry Bouquet DSP...

... is so pretty and not just for Christmas!

There are lots of designs in the pack that can be used for other occasions.

However, here is a Christmas card.  I used the Card Patterns Sketch this week, you can find it HERE

I'm enjoying playing with this set, you can create such lovely background papers for cards with it.
