Pinkies Seasonal Blog Hop using Reason for the Season from Stampin’ Up!

September 5, 2015 By Michelle Last

Blog Hop, Stampin' Up! seasonal catalogue launch with MIchelle Last

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

If you have arrived here from Kim’s blog thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy seeing the inspiration from our team and continue to hop on through to see what everyone has made.

I have lots of new products to choose from it was hard to focus on one thing but I decided to use the Reason for the Season stamp set and matching Festive Flower Builder Punch.Reason for the Season from Stampin' Up!

I created a Gift Card Wallet which can hold a credit card size plastic gift card.

Pinkies Blog Hop with Michelle Last Stampin Up

I used an A5 piece of Tip Top Taupe cardstock and scored it to create a wallet shape.  I stamped the poinsettia in whisper white ink and the leaves in Sahara Sand Ink.  Once the White Ink was dry I used the 2-way glue pen and the dazzling diamonds glitter to add a sparkle.

I lined the inside with Cherry Cobbler cardstock and created a middle tab to hold the gift card.  I used the Decorative Label Punch and straightened the edges as it then fits a credit card size gift card perfectly.

Can you see the white cardstock with the gorgeous Curvy Corner Trio Punch {swoon},its so pretty and you get three different punch options with one punch (P18 of the seasonal – bet you missed it!).

Lastly I created a belly band to wrap around the wallet and made a white poinsettia out of vellum and white ink and used the Festive Flower Builder Punch and one of the new Iced Rhinestone Embellishments.

I love the font of the sentiment too!  And another item made ready for my Christmas makes this year!

So let’s go and see what those lovely Pinkies have been creating with products from the new seasonal catalogue. Next up is Janneke’s blog.  Enjoy hopping around and have a great weekend.

Interactive Mini Album I've been busy behind the Interactive Mini Album

I've been busy behind the scenes creating a special mini album for my team retreat this weekend. I can't wait to spend time with my wonderful team—being creative together, sharing lots of laughs and making this beautiful keepsake. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I have a real love for mini albums. They're one of my favourite ways to preserve memories because they tell a story that's far bigger than a single scrapbook page....
