WELCOME TO THE STAMPIN' ADDICTS SUMMER MINI BLOG TOUR!

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you have been enjoying the Stampin' Addicts Summer Mini Blog hop so far.  Stampin' Addicts is a wonderful, positive community dedicated to Stampin' Up! demonstrators and customers alike, who share a love of all things Stampin' Up!  It's free to join, and you couldn't meet a nicer group of stampers, so please come and check us out - after you finish the tour, of course!


If you have been following the links, you just left the Creative Stampin' Spot.  Didn't Barbara do a fab job with the new Square Lattice embossing folder?!  Love, love, love the tote and flower card above it, especially!  I like that embossing folder so much, that I just had to use it on the Mother's Day card I made for my mom, even though I'm showcasing the Itty Bitty Bits stamp set, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack trio, and the Bitty Buttons.  (Sorry, Barbara, I couldn't help myself!)

Mom's Lilac card was made with the four petal punch using Lovely Lilac and Lavender Lace (colors that will be retiring the end of June). I stamped a few of the blossoms in Whisper White Craft ink with the four petal stamp to make them stand out a bit more, and "popped" some of them up. The leaves were a lot of fun to make - I'll show you how to make them later in the week.

The next card uses two NEW colors, or should I say, one new and one returning old favorite. The lighter blue background is new, called Marina Mist, and will be available in the new big catalog in July.  The darker blue is a returning favorite, called Pacific Point.  The flowers are from the Two-Step stamp set called Greenhouse Garden.  And see those buttons?  Those are the Bitty Buttons, which started out clear.  Check back next week and I'll tell you how I turned them into gold!

The last card is a pretty little baby girl card.  I made the patterned paper using the Itty Bitty Bits stamp set, stamped in Pretty in Pink ink, then selectively punched out some of the shapes and adhered them with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The circle punch from that punch set is just 3/8" in diameter!


I really hope you enjoyed your stop here.  As a thank you, I have some blog candy to give away. It's the Sale-A-Bration "Whimsical Words" stamp set in the clear mount option.  Just post a comment here, and I will select a winner on Tuesday.


Your next stop on the tour will be Holly's blog, Rubber Redneck.  She's going to dazzle you with the gorgeous, vintage-looking Elements of Style stamp set!

Thanks again for stopping by!
