WELCOME TO THE TOUR!
Welcome, and thank you so much for stopping by on the Stampin' Addicts Occasions Mini Catalog Blog Tour! The new catalog is just out, and orders can begin on January 5th, so we wanted to show you some of the fabulous new goodies in the catalog. And BONUS, the new catty coincides with Sale-A-Bration, so you can get free stuff as well! This Stampin' Addicts blog tour runs from 9 a.m. (PST) Friday Jan. 1st until midnight (PST) Sunday Jan. 3rd., so please be sure to tell your stamping buddies to check it out.
Today I am showcasing the very adorable LOVE BANDITS stamp set, along with the Scallop Trim Corner punch and the Perfect Polka-Dots Textured Impressions embossing folder. I used the embossing folder on the first card with the little Love Bandit raccoon. Isn't he just too stinkin' cute?! And the heart-shaped tree, too. You could stamp it in pink or red, and just cut out the upper part of the tree for a cute scalloped heart!
On the second card pictured above, I used the Scallop Trim Corner punch on the mat behind the squirrel, and to make the lacy looking border, as well. Cool, huh?
For the third project, I went with a Bitty Box, embossing the dots on the heart (Full Heart punch), and then stamping a pink squirrel. (Hey, isn't that an adult beverage? LOL) This would be so cute filled with M&M's or candy conversation hearts.
If you're following the tour in order, you just left Krystal's blog, where she probably knocked your socks off with the adorable Scallop Heart Embosslit. Isn't she amazing? More talent in her pinky finger than I have in my whole self!
Next stop on the tour is Kim's blog, where she is going to wow you with the Folk Flower Stencil! So hop on over and see what Kim did with a Tee shirt!
