January Pals Blog Hop – Hello Occasions!

untitled

Welcome to the first Pals Blog Hop of 2015. We hope your new year is off to a great creative start. To celebrate the start of a new Stampin’ Up! year, we are showcasing products from our newest catalog this month – the Occasions catalog. You may also see new Sale-a-bration products too. If you don’t know how to earn free Sale-a-bration products – contact your Stampin’ Up! demonstrator to learn more.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Lynn Kolcun at Stamping with Avery’s Owlery.

Use the full lineup below to move along from blog to blog so you see all of the new projects.

I wanted to start a new tradition and create some simple seasonal decor for my office at work so I pulled out a frame I had picked up at IKEA some months ago and started stamping:

What do you think?!? Today’s project features the new stamp set Sheltering Tree from Stampin’ Up!. It’s a fantastic set with lots of different elements that can be added to the tree for different occasions.

I wanted something Valentine-y so I chose a background of Blushing Bride cardstock. I stamped the tree in Crumb Cake and then stamped all the other images with Versamark. I then heat embossed all the different elements (separately) with white embossing powder and finished it all off with a pop of Real Red.

The frame is so clean and simple that I decided not to add any more elements. I love the soft effect!

I’m keeping it short and sweet today because I know you lots more blogs to hop off to…

The next stop is Liz Gautreaux at Kind Deeds Stampin on the Pals Blog Hop!

Thanks for visiting and I’ll see you next month.

Wishing you joy and blessings!

    I just spent some time browsing through your blog after discovering it this morning. All your cards are just lovely. I like how this tree looks stamped in white. So pretty!
