Welcome to the Mini Blog Hop tour of the exciting new products that are featured in the Mini Catalogue soon to be released and available to buy from Thursday 1 April onwards.
If you have come from Lorraine's M blog, then you're right on track! There's currently 15 of us in this Mini Blog Hop, which has been organised by Helen. In fact, this Mini Blog hop, is the 2nd of 3 and hopefully with a bit of luck, it'll run smoothly and you'll have lots of fun hopping from one blog to the next following the links.
I hope you've enjoyed looking at Lorraine's gorgeous projects using the various new products from the new Mini Catalogue. Enjoy looking at my new creations using "Framed With Love" stamp set from the new Mini Catalogue featured on page 10.
This stamp set comprises of a set of 7 stamps and they're very suited to both cardmakers and scrapbookers. In fact, the inspiration and project idea using this stamp set in the Mini Catalogue on P.10 is a scrapbook page that features most of the stamps and could so easily be adapted! I was toying with the idea of making a scrapbook page layout for today's Blog Hop, but have decided to chicken out and will leave you with a couple of cards and a box instead :)
I absolutely love the "damask" type stamp in this set and have decided to create a wall paper/patterned paper effect with the help of my trusty Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for all my creations below! Similarly, the heart stamp within this set co-ordinates beautifully with the Full Heart Punch that is on special promotion until Wednesday 31 March. After this date, the punch will only be available to buy in 6 months time! I know, 6 months is an awfully long time, so if you have your eyes set on this stamp set, and perhaps you already have "Simply Said" and maybe the old Sale-A-Bration 2009 stamp set "Polka Dot Punches" then you need to get this punch quick!
