Stampin Up! Mini Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin' Up! Mini Blog Hop - there are a whole bunch of talented crafters taking part. You should have come to me from Joanne if not click here to go back right to the beginning of the hop and you will get to see all the talents and inspiration along the way. You can pick up 2 further hops from their too as there are 3 happening at the same time.

This mini is released 1st April. As a SU demo we get to pre order and play for a whole month!! Fantastic eh?

There are lot of lovely things to choose from and I chose Fox and Friends to showcase a few cute cards.

I was inspired by this one above by a card I saw at Splitcoast Stampers. I have changed mine to include a tall tree and a short bush like thing. I have also used some of the new paper stack that is in the Mini Catalogue, the scalloped oval and circle punches too. I love the little fox and Owl, these have to be my fav two images from this set. I also love the trees I created with the punches and how the larger tree is sort of heart shaped. The owl on this card has been coloured with ink pads for just one colour.

This card was made using again my two fav images Mr Fox and Mr Owl. Mr Fox sitting on a hill whilst Mr Owl is sitting on a branch near the moon. The branch was made using the 2 step bird punch. Those eagle eyed amongst you might have spotted the lushious ribbon! and also there is a sparkle on the card all thanks to my own home made glimmer spray using the Glimmer Paint also in the mini. - WOW all this fab new stuff eh? This owl has been coloured with the Many Marvelous Markers, you can get more detail and colours by colouring them like this. TOP TIP! Remember when colouring onto the rubber with these pens to give the stamp a "huff" before stamping. The moisture from your breath with remoisten the ink and make the impression bright.

Harvey and Caiden might have been my inspiration for this card! Two little monkeys trying to get their mitts on the sweet bananas. Quiet a few bits used on this one too. Treat cups! Oh what fun these are, fabulous furry felt flowers and I have used stamped leaves from the My Sweet Pea stamp set and more lovely paper from the Paper Stack!

a BONUS PEEK from me.........

I made these toppers for my S10 ladies who also got some lovely ribbon in their baggies too.

Pocket Siloettes, 2 step bird punch, glimmer paint, jeweltry tag and stamp set.... How much excitement can you all take??
