Spring/Summer Celebration Blog Hop

Happy New Year and Welcome to the second of two Pootlers blog hops for January.  This month we're excited to share with you both the "Spring/Summer 2016" and the "Sale-a-Bration" catalogues, which went live on Tuesday 5th January, and we hope will inspire you to get creative!

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Camille Moriarty - or may have come from the person previous to me.  Be sure to click on the "next" button further down to continue your journey on this blog hop.

Today we would like to share with you our new Spring/Summer 2016 catalogue, and I have teamed up with other Pootlers to show you items we all love.

I cant quite believe that Valentine's Day is just over three weeks away!  Are you sending any cards this year?

I created this card from the new Bear Hugs stamp set, as featured in the Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer catalogue.  Although I've made it in red and pink, you could easily change these colours to make it more masculine, or change the colours of the bear should you prefer to stamp bears in different colours.

Bear Hugs and Bows

I have to admit, since the arrival of my new Bow Builder Punch, I've been a little addicted (oops), with my family finding bows all over the place!  Because of this, I simply had to add a bow to one of my latest creations, and here it is!

Made using the Bear Hugs stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue, and some of our Cucumber Crush, I think the spotty bow sets off the stripes really nicely!  The baby bear was stamped onto some Crumb Cake card, using the Crumb Cake Stampin' Pad, and the flowers using Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad, coloured in with Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Marker and the Cucumber Crush Stampin' Pad and Aqua Painter.  The tag was made from Cucumber Crush and Whisper White card, cut to 2" wide (5cm) x 4" and 3" long (10cm and 7.5cm), punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  The greeting was punched using the Word Window Punch, and the background and the bow were made from Cucumber Crush Designer Series Paper (part of the In Color 2015-17 DSP Stack).

I hope you have enjoyed this project.
