This means you can hop from blog to blog and fill your eyes with lots of gorgeous creations made these brand new products. So if you have arrived here from Fiona’s blog …. then hello!
I have used a cute little set from the Spring/summer catalogue called Collage Curios which features 9 mini stamps and co-ordinates with the 1″ Circle Punch. I decided to do as the name suggests and make a collage card.
I used the 1 1/4″ square punch to create each of the 9 squares I teamed up the stamp set with the Patio Party papers from the Annual Catalogue as it has lots of little cute images in the papers which work perfectly with the stamps.
The top right square combines 2 stamps from the set, a circle of script and a mini Eiffel tower …. how lovely is that! The cute wreath and butterfly stamp are from the set too and work perfectly with those butterfly papers, and of course I couldn’t help but embellish with the butterfly punch. I can’t wait to order the Bitty Butterfly punch which launches today .. see page 13 of the new catalogue. That will co-ordinate beautifully!
The balloons from Collage Curios were stamped in Midnight Muse to co-ordinate with the papers and the colour combination of Summer Starfruit, Primrose Petals and Baja Breeze.
There are so many options with this stamp set, I can’t wait to play some more, so do come back on Sunday to see what else I create. But for now your next stop on the hop is Lesley’s Craft Room – Enjoy!
Hasta la próxima / until next time,
