I need to warn you, sunnies are needed to view these cards I've made for this blog hop!
Welcome to the first of a few blog hops I am participating in over the next few days. This one is to showcase the new Autumn Winter Mini - and I've chosen the Mixed Bunch set with coordinating punch - this is one of those sets that I loved from day one, was in denial that I really did need it, and succumbed within about two weeks of seeing the catalogue.
I have a pocketful of ladies birthdays during the month of May and I wanted to make some really eye catching cards. Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade and Basic Black has been a colour combo I have been itching to try out for a long time.
The Ruffled Ribbons are so easy to use - they tie beautifully. I've also used another new product from this new Mini, the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders - these are so cute and as well as the hearts you will also receive a scallop and shaped edge for cards - so versatile.
All three cards were so quick to make. The coordinating punch with Mixed Blossoms is perfect - and I used the 3/4" circle punch for the centres. Of course, all the cards have a little bling .... the Rhinestone Jewels are perfect.
The newest favourite Big Shot toy has to be the new Framelits Labels Collection - these are just brilliant - six different sizes for less than $50 - that's great value. I've never used this type of die cut before and I love them.
You can take the sunnies off now because it is time to move on to visit Di Dunk - she is sure to inspire with a creation or three!
Thanks for visiting - please leave a comment if you can - we all love comments.
And visit again in a day or two for another blog hop or three :)
