INK AND SHARE APRIL BLOG HOP


Welcome to the April edition of the Ink & Share blog hop! 

My name is Amy and I’m stamping from Ontario, Canada! This is our third month for the Ink & Share group - if you missed the previous hops you can check them out here:
February 2018 - Theme: Sale-A-Bration



This month our focus is the Occasions catalogue - which will end May 31st - just a little over a month left of this beautiful selection of products! And I loved the chance to flip through it and look at some of the favourites I haven't had much time to play with yet.




When I first saw the Apron of Love bundle I had so many ideas - I love that you can use it for cooking, BBQing or even crafting! And there are so many great projects on Pinterest too! And with Mother's Day just around the corner I thought I would focus on the feminine side of this stamp set (though I know a few male bakers this would be perfect for too - though maybe loose the frills on the apron pocket!).






This is ones of those sets I highly encourage you to get as a bundle because the die cuts are awesome and really bring it all together! I decided with these cards to not use the string die cuts and inside used white twine to give it a bit more texture. 

This is also a stamp set that is sticking around in the next annual catalogue BUT you only have until May 31st to take advantage of the 10% bundle deal.

APRIL STAMP N HOP - RETIRING FAVOURITE!

Welcome to the April edition of the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop! 

My name is Amy and I’m stamping from Ontario (Canada)! This month we are featuring our favourite items from the retiring Annual Catalogue. 



I hope you enjoy and be sure to check out the other blogs, listed below, to see what the other creative and talented ladies, from around the world, have created!

One of my favourite products from the Annual Catalogue is the Delightful Daisy Suite.



I love the stamp set, the coordinating punch, the beautiful soft colours in the designer series paper and the endless possibilities of creating stunning projects. 

Here is what I created:




And don't forget to decorate your envelopes!



Keep in mind that even though this stamp set and coordinating punch are not retiring - they will not be offered as a bundle in the next Annual Catalogue - so if you are interested in purchasing and saving 10% on the bundle do so before June 1st from your demonstrator. 

A very simple design like the card below is easy to mass produce. 
I put five cards with envelopes in the clear acetate boxes and added a belly band - it makes a perfect gift for any bride or new mom at a bridal or baby shower. 





I am sad to say that the coordinating DSP is already sold out :( 
But thankfully there are other gorgeous papers that I would recommend to use with this stamp set.
(see end of this post for a full list).

Here are projects I created using this product suite when it first came out in June - I love our suite of products - it makes putting together projects easier as everything coordinates!








Here is an example of other papers you can pair with this stamp set and punch!


Other paper packs you could use include:
