Pinkies Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue Blog Hop

July 13, 2013 By Michelle Last


We’re
so glad you could join us on our Blog Hop. We’ll be showcasing lots of
gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin’ Up!® Annual
Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep
hopping. We love comments, so please do tell us what you think!

If you have arrived here from Sam’s blog, welcome and I hope you have enjoyed seeing what we have all been busy making.

I had a chance to re-make a project I had previously taught at a class in brand new patterned paper.  I have the instructions to make this project in the tutorials section of my blog (check out the tabs above).   I get so sad when my samples are no longer in current product and I cannot use them in my business, especially when they are time consuming to make.

So I had a little crafting session and made the handbag with two pockets to hold 8 cards using the new Gingham Garden Patterned paper. Here is a shot from the back.

And it opens out to reveal the deep pockets which each hold 4 cards and envelopes.

And here is the handbag with the designs of the notecards using the Hostess set Banner Greetings for the sentiments.

I hope this project fills your weekend with bright cheeriness.  Think of me, I will be running around like a headless chicken do all the last minute prep for my trip next Wednesday to Utah for the Stampin’ Up! US Convention and Incentive trip.

So next stop is Caro’s blog, why don’t you take a hop over to her blog to see what she has been up to?

Thanks for stopping by….

Create Beautiful Pop Up Cards with Tile Garden Bun Create Beautiful Pop Up Cards with Tile Garden Bundle

It’s catalogue launch day and I have a pretty pop up card to share with you using one of the lovely new bundles from the Stampin’ Up! catalogue. The Tile Garden Bundle caught my eye straight away. I love its gentle prettiness and all those lovely little floral details. Although I made mine as a birthday card, this style of pop up card could easily be adapted for thank you's, Christmas, congratulations or lots of other occasions....

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....
