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!® 2012/13 Annual Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep on hopping. We love comments, so please do tell us what you think!
Welcome to those who have joined me from Gina Wiseman's blog - weren't her projects gorgeous? I just love the ribbon technique she has used.
My projects are focusing on the new versatile Word Play stamp set. My first project is a get well card, with a bunch of flowers ready to give to someone feeling a bit under par. Only mine are paper flowers using scraps left over from other projects. I am so pleased the Adorning Accents Edgelits and Embossing Folders have carried over from the Summer mini as they give such a clean line. Besides the new Word Play stamp set I have used the gorgeous new cardstock - Naturals White. I already love the Naturals Ivory cardstock and I think this is going to be another favourite!

Here is a close up of the bunch of flowers, so you can get a better idea of the depth to this project...
Next up is a totally different card - this time a wedding card. I have gone for a white on white effect except for a couple of silver accents. Don't you just love the new Fancy Fan embossing folder?! The card is 6" x 6" and as the embossing folder are not that big, the embossing front of the card is actually two pieces joined together (cleverly hidden by the organza ribbon!). If you zoom in on the card you will see that I added a bit of bling for the ring in the greeting!

Stamps: Word Play
Ink: Versamark
Tools/Accessories: Heat gun, Silver embossing powder, Big Shot, Fancy Fan embossing folders, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Labels Collection Framelits, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Whisper White organza ribbon, rhinestone jewels
The final card is a quick CAS (clean and simple) Christmas card using the masking technique, as well as heat embossing and a blender pen. I have used one of the new in-colours - Gumball Green to colour in the baubles along with Cherry Cobbler one of my favourite SU colours - which in a way is odd as generally I don't like red (to wear or in my garden)! Isn't funny how we have our own little foibles?
