Hello from the Isle of Wight

 

Welcome to our first ever Pinkies Blog Hop. We’ll be showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin’ Up!® Autumn Winter Seasonal Catalogue. Our blog hop buttons will help guide you on your way. We love comments, so please do tell us what you think!

 

Thank you for joining me today on the sunny Isle of Wight for my little piece of this fabulous Pinkies Blog Hop. You may have joined me today from Suzette's blog. What stunning projects using the Friendship Preserves set and Orchard Harvest Suite.

 

I absolutely adore all the new products from the Autumn Winter Catalogue so I was hard pushed to choose what to use for my project. I decided to let my photos guide my choice of product as I discovered the new Orchard Harvest Suite matched perfectly with my pumpkin photos for this double scrapbooking page layout.

 

 I used 12"x12" Very Vanilla and More Mustard as my base colours and then designed my embellishments to match. One of my favourite new additions to the Autumn Winter Catalogue is the fantastic Core'dinations card stock which I have used here in Early Espresso. I ran this through the Big Shot using the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and then sanded with the new Stampin' Sanding System.

 To create my leaves I used In Color Cardstock to match the beautiful Orchard Harvest Designer Fabric in Summer Starfruit, Raspberry Ripple and Island Indigo and ran this through my Big Shot using the new Autumn Accents Bigz Die. The patterned leaves are cut from the Designer Fabric. I finished each page with a strip of lovely new 2.2cm Cotton Ribbon (also fantastic for stamping on I have discovered!), a Flourish Designer Frame and a Brushed Bronze Designer Button.

 

Thank you for joining me today. You can continue hopping by jumping on over to my upline Michelle Last's blog. She has made some beautiful Christmas projects using the Ornament Bundle.
