Spring into Stampin'

Welcome to the Pals February Blog Hop. This month we are excited to share with you what we love about Stampin' Up! - our stamps, tools, accessories and techniques.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Brian King at Stamp with Brian on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you can see all of the amazing creations.

Brrrrr! It has been below zero for days here in Montana, so all I can think of is Spring time when the daffodils start to peek out of the ground and the temperature is a bit warmer. Spring also brings all of those pretty pastel colors - the inspiration for my project.

I want to Share What I Love by showing you a great way to use the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and the Spiral Flower Originals Die.

I filled a 3x5 cellophane bag with yummy treats and wrapped it with Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Catalog (P. 23). I used a 2"x11" strip of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock to create the center band. First I ran it through an embossing folder and then I punched each end using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, also from the Occasions Catalog (P. 35). I tied it all up with Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon. Just smashing!

To create this beautiful flower using the Spiral Flower Originals Die, use two colors of card stock: Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush. (You can feed several layers of card stock through the Big Shot with this particular die.) These flowers seemed intimidating to me at first, but I found that using tweezers to start the rolling makes it so much easier. You simply grab the small end of the flower with your tweezers and twirl it around the tweezers until you get to the end. Add some two-way glue, and Voila'.  I couldn't help but place a large pearl in the center and then fill it in with chunky glitter. I love glitter! This will make the perfect gift - don't you agree?

Thank you for taking a peek and for allowing me to Share What I Love!! I hope to see you next month.

The next stop is Shannon Hokanson at Paper Works.

Have a beautiful day,

Janice
