Mini Blog hop

I'm am so excited to be taking part in my first blog hop, especially as this hop is showcasing the fantastic new mini that you can order from beginning the 1st April.


If you have come to my blog from the talented Sandra, then welcome but if this is your usual stop by my blog then you can still take part in the blog hop by clicking on Pat's link at the end of this post.

After having said I did not need any more Christmas stamp sets I just could not resist this great set called Serene Snowflakes (115438). This consists of 4 snowflake stamps but hopefully from my 2nd project I will inspire you to see them as not only snowflakes.



Serene Snowflakes (115438)

This is a simple Christmas card using Kraft card stock (117360) & the 1-3/4" circle punch (117405) to create a bauble from the stamped image



I then added a flat back pearl from the Pretties Kit (109887) & some Dazzling Diamonds (110194) to add some bling.

Recipe
Stamps: Serene Snowflakes, Punches Three
Card stock: Kraft, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla
Ink: Night of Navy, Tempting Turquoise
Misc: Dazzling Diamonds, Pretties Kit, Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon
My second project was inspired by my downliner Sarah who thought when I showed her this set that the big snowflake reminded her of the medallion stamps that are around.
So this card is for you Sarah.
I've used my old favourite colour combo of Chocolate Chip & Bashful Blue. I stamped the image on each of the coloured card stock & then I cut different sections out. Using Stampin Dimensionals I layered them on top of each other.

For a different look I used a Window Sheet cut down as my card base. I also used part of the snowflake to add an extra decoration to the sentiment layer. To ensure I positioned it correctly I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049)

Recipe

Stamps: Serene Snowflakes, Always in My Thoughts

Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Misc: Large Oval punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, Window Sheet

White Gel pen

I hope you have enjoyed my mini projects & if you want to continue on this blog hop you need to go to Pat's blog now.
