Another week gone by. I can't believe how fast they go sometimes. Well this week's Stampin Up!'s featured stamp set is a new one. It's called Big Blooms. It is from their Spring mini catalog. I think I have said it before that I just love their new Spring mini catalog. They really have some cool and unique stuff in there. I especially like their new Spiral punch. It punches holes so that you can add pages to a spiral bound notebook. Whether you are going to use it to add pages to your notebook or just use it to give a piece of patterned paper that office look it is definitely a must have. I got mine the other day and it works like a charm. It's very easy to use too. Here is a page that I used the punch on with the Big Blooms stamp set as well as some cool new Stampin Up! designer paper called Notations that you will find in the new Spring mini catalog as well.
Supplies used: Stamps: Big Blooms Paper: Notations, So Saffron, Cool Caribbean, Whisper White Ink: Cool Caribbean Accessories: Spiral Punch, Dimensionals
Here is a picture of all the stamps in the Big Blooms set.
And now for the Blog Candy. One winner chosen at random will win the following card made with the Big Blooms stamp. All you need to do is post a comment here by next Wednesday before midnight to be eligible for this drawing. If you have this set and would like to share it please post a link to your gallery.
Supplies used: Stamps: Big Blooms, All in a Row, Polka Dots and Petals Paper: Cool Caribbean, Ruby Red, Whisper White Ink: Green Galore, Ruby Red, Cool Caribbean, Marigold Morning Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Sponge, Dimensionals, Bold Brights colored buttons
And here is another card that I made. Please understand that this card is much prettier in real life. I got out my heat n stick powder and glitter and added some bling to this card and it just didn't scan well. I did some creative Photoshop editing so that you could tell it had glitter on it but it really changed the color of the papers that I used.
Supplies used: Stamps: Big Blooms, Happy Everything Paper: Cool Caribbean, Pretty in Pink, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White Ink: Whisper White Accessories: Heat n Stick powder, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Winter White embossing powder, circle punch
Well that's all for now. Have a great day!
Cute! You are entering plenty of their contests right? Please forgive me. I am just now checking back into all the blogs I've not kept up with. Looks like you've been having lots of fun. Missed you at the Event.
