For The Love Of Creating Blog Hop

Welcome to the 'For The Love Of Creating with Stampin' Up!' blog hop....
This is my first event as a blog hop host and I must admit I am VERY EXCITED!!!!
I have asked wonderful designers from ALL OVER the world to our love of creating with Stampin' Up! products with you.
We will be hopping together quarterly throughout the year sharing with you new products and ideas for how to use them.

You are currently here with Kim Oliver (me) of Australia. I have a complete list of participating designers closer to the end of this post. To continue moving through the hop please click the name directly after mine.

We are all focusing out attentions today on new products from Stampin' Up! in the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogues.

Sale-A-Bration is the BEST time of year 😊
You can earn gorgeous items for FREE just for purchasing items you need to create your projects with.

I have chosen to use a new Memories and More card kit called Petal Passion.
I have paired the Memories and More cards with a technique called Faux Metal Embossing as well as some of our existing products. The gorgeous thinlits called Window Box Thinlits and the useful Lots Of Labels framelits.

Here are my projects.

Windows of Love

Can you see the faux metal label on the window box?
How about on the card below. I know you can definitely see it better on that 😊

I simply adore the effect of the gold faux metal. I have added silver mini sequin trim to create a mixed metal look.

I Just Love You

I have added one more picture of my card and window box. This time with the little window box open, so you can see how I have decorated the inside.

All ready to pop a little gift inside, perhaps some sweet chocolates?
