Welcome to August's Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop. The projects are designed by fellow Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world. The theme for this month's blog hop is "Mini- Catalogue" You may have joined me from Jo's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope you like our creations and that they give you inspiration. For this month's hop I had lots of new items to choose from I was spoilt for choice. I chose in the end to use the Have A Hoot stamp set and coordintating dies - Peek A Hoot. As this stamp set covers both Christmas and Halloween, I decided on making a project for the later. I knew I had some of the Coffin Treat Boxes left over from last year (and they are currently on the Clearance Rack £2.60 for 12) so I grabbed them and ran the lid through the big shot with one of the Wrapped in Texture embossing folders. Having stamped the image of the owl hiding behind the pumpkin, I then coloured it using my Stampin' Blends before cutting it out with one of the Peek A Hoot Dies. To finish it off I added a little bit of sparkle by using the Glittered Organdy Ribbon. It felt lonely so I also made a quick card using Stampin' Ups Notecards, I love this size just a tad smaller than the standard A6. I love it when Stampin' Up bring out a new stamp set with coordinating dies or a punch as they usually offer them at a discount.. I hope you like the projects that I've shared with you - all supplies used to created this can be ordered via my Online store here.
