Spring Catalog Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Addicts’ Spring Catalog Blog Hop! 

Here we are, another new catalog.  There is nothing mini about the catalogs

we now get twice a year!  This one is full of great new sets and embellishments. 

 

You may have arrived here from Sara’s blog, Lily's Ink Pad 

where she featured A Little Bit of Spring,  Great Easter ideas Sara!  

You may be starting here at my blog.  All the blogs, in the hop, link in a circle,

so you can start wherever you like, and make your way through the hop. 

I am featuring the Collage Curios stamp set for the hop.

 

First up a hostess gift card holder.  I've been in a solemn mood so this ended up

all somber looking.  It holds 4 cards with matching stamped envelopes

 and an assortment of sayings for the hostess to use.

 

 

I used dsp from the Designer Series Paper Patterns Stack - Neutrals Collection, along with Black and  Basic Gray.  I punched out 8 sentiments with the Modern Label punch and placed them in the card holder in a mini Ziploc bag.  It's all held shut with Black 1/2 Inch Scallop Polka Ribbon placed upside down on the holder.  There's a Velcro dot holding it together.

I used 5 of the 9 images from the stamp set to embellish the cards and holder.
On the cards they are placed inside the mini bottle caps, which I flattened in the Big Shot.
The bottle caps are available in the Spring Catalog.

Then I figured I better liven it up and created a Bold Bright  Magnetic Memo Board. 

 

I adhered Daffodil Delight dsp with Tombow Multi-Purpose Liquid Adhesive
to a metal sign I bought at the craft store. I sanded the edges of the paper to
match the sign.  Then created 3 magnets by flattening 3 of the large Bottle Caps
in the Big Shot.   I punched out the images with the 1" Circle punch, then attached them
with glue dots.  I hot glued magnets to the back of the bottle caps. 

The hanging banners mimic the stamped image of the magnets. The banners
were created with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch.  I layered them over
Baker's Twine and permanently attached them with the Tombow glue.

 

 

The last project was going to be jewelry.  Instead when I got to punching out
the hole for a jump ring, I decided it would be a cute bag tag.

 

 I hope you're enjoying the hop.  Next up is Mickey at Paper Conversation
She's featuring That's the Ticket.  Such cute ideas for this set!
