Stamp 'N Hop September Blog Hop!

Saturday 12 September 2020 Bridgwater, UK

Welcome to the monthly Stamp N’ Blog Hop!!

This is the first time I am joining this blog hop and I'm delighted to be taking part with so many talented demonstrators.

This month’s theme is all about the Mini Catalogue and I am showcasing the Wishes & Wonder bundle today.

If you have just arrived from Karen's blog and you are visiting my blog for the first time - hello and welcome! My name is Kim and I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator from Somerset, UK. 

To all my regular followers - you are in for a real treat! You will find loads of inspiration for your seasonal papercrafting as we are all featuring Stampin' Up! products from the Mini Catalogue in our projects today.

The Shimmery White Embossing Paste is ideal to use when creating your Christmas cards. You can use it straight out of the tub (like I have done today) or you can mix it with a drop or two of ink to add colour to match your project. Just look how it sparkles!!!

Using embossing paste is a simple but effective technique. It's super quick and easy to create but you do need to make sure you wait for the paste to dry - but don't worry, it doesn't take too long!.


There are four different patterns included within the pack of Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. The trees were the inspiration behind my card today - the PERFECT background for my reindeer!



For my sentiment, I die cut a shape from the Tasteful Labels dies (an absolute must have for your craft stash). 


I stamped the sentiment from the Wishes and Wonders stamp set in Versamark ink onto Silver Foil. I then added White Embossing Powder and set it with my heat tool. 


Now for the star of the show, the reindeer from the North Pole Wonder dies - die cut from Silver Foil. 

Doesn't it look fabulous against the shimmery background? 


In my opinion, this card didn't need anything else adding to it - I think it's a good example of less is more. I hope you agree?

  9. THANK YOU everyone for all the lovely comments!!

    Just a quick note to say that there is only one background - the card has been photographed from different angles so the glittery effect can be seen in some of the images!
