Pinkies Blog Hop - His 'n' Hers

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects
using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Spring/Summer Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the
end of each post to keep hopping!

If you have arrived here from Xandra's Blog - I hope you loved her creativity as much as I did! 

I decided to do two contrasting projects as I think the new Spring/Summer catalogue really does have every possible style covered as usual.

My first card is one for the boys, I used the Perfect Pennants Bundle (Stamp Set & Framelits) and both the dots and the sentiment stamps were inked using the Encore Silver ink. I then cut a large pennant out of the new silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and a smaller one with the sentiment using the framelits. for a little added detail I used the Silver Bakers Twine and one of the gorgeous Basic Metal Buttons.

Next is something super girly - flowers and pink! I admit I totally ADORE the Petite Petals Bundle (Stamp Set & Punch) I stamped a whole card front with the flowers, cut ovals out with the Oval framelits then did the same with plain coloured card stock so I could layer them on the card. I stamped the sentiment with Sassy Salutations, cutting it out with the Pennants framelits. Punched out some flowers and used a little of the Gold Sequin Trim to add some bling.

I do love those super cute sequins so I managed to sneak some more in... did you spot them?

I hope you've enjoyed my creations the next stop is Caroline's Blog so hop on over to see what she has prepared for you.

My Valentine...

I wanted to share a few cards with you today... they contain a couple of sneak peeks and are so simple to make!

This first one uses the existing heart punches to punch out gold Glimmer Paper and a Sneak Peek at the lovely Fancy Foil Designer Vellum - also available in silver! And there are 3 different designs in each pack. Along the top there you will have spotted the new Gold Sequin Trim.

This next card uses the Banner Blast stamp sets available during Sale-a-Bration, and the matching punch. Then the You and Me and Heart stamps are from Perfect Pennants.

Lastly I have used some individual gold sequins to decorate hearts punched out with the small heart punch, I decorated the card with Pink Pirouette using Gorgeous Grunge and added the new You and Me from Perfect Pennants in Melon Mambo.

Just a couple of little tasters of things to come in the new seasonal catalogue. If you would like to be one of the first to see these gorgeous items in action - why not book a party in February? Get in touch to order by calling 07786 860438 or e-mailing me on mailme@paulaknall.co.uk

Tag Gift - Your own mini scrapbook

I received all my new goodies from the NEW seasonal catalogue the other day and am all fired up with inspiration. I came up with this little gift, and even shot a tutorial, but because the products are not released in the UK until the 28th of January, I can't show you the actual products!

I can though, show you what I made... so you'll have to wait until the 28th of January for the video!

I called this the 'Tag Gift' because it is a little gift in itself, thinking about it as I started this post, it is a mini scrapbook!

Look at that gold Bakers Twine!!! It's available in silver too! The sentiment is from Blooming with Kindness and the splodges are from Gorgeous Grunge. As for the Tag Top - there are TWO new punches from Stampin' Up! that make these for you! Inside are lots of little tags! How super cute is that?

Have you spotted the gold Watercolour Wonder Washi Tape and Gold Sequin Trim? The sentiment and star are from 2 new stamp sets Happy Watercolour and Perfect Pennants.

This poppy and the watercolour stamp are from Happy Watercolour.

Make a Wish is from Perfect Pennants.

This love heart is from another set, Language of Love. Doesn't the embossing set it off? That is an embossing folder from the annual catalogue - Needlepoint Border.

Another sentiment from Perfect Pennants - this set also comes as a bundle with co-ordinating framelits. Making cutting banners super quick and easy with your Big Shot!

These hearts are also from Perfect Pennants.

This sentiment is from Petite Pairs... isn't that Washi Tape just scrummy?
