Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Welcome and thank you for joining us for this month, Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop, this month our theme is the New Spring / Summer or Occassions catalogue as its also known
by our friends across the pond!

Theres too much yummy new stuff to choose from! but I decided to share with you the First Steps Stamp set, I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw it,
those little hands and feet whats not too love about them!

I choose a traditional Pink and Blue theme for my cards with a hint of grey!

The card below is perfect for the beginner stamper, #simplestamping

a simple card which is easily recreated, all you need is a pack of cardstock or card blanks a Pool Party ink pad, a clear block to mount your stamps on and the First Steps Stamp set, 

and you can make this card!

These cards are stepped up and are more for the Avid crafter, using more products and supplies including the new Rectangle Stitched framelits - I love these!  

and other embellishments including sequins, Ribbon and Twine!

I stamped both my card bases with the little hands, using 2nd generation ink, 

ink stamped off first! to give a lighter shade of the same colour!

I created cards to welcome and baby boy and a girl, always hand to have in my stash!

Here is my card: I choose Diagonally Sequins - Punch - Ribbon

Now I sat colouring these flowers one evening, just for something to do, I sat and fussy cut them, and they're they sat, knowing I wanted to use them on a card but hadn't decided how!... 

and heres that card! 

I stamped the Lovely Lattice stamp twice in Memento Ink, and coloured only the large flower from 1, and 1 large flower and 1 additional smaller flower and leaves on the other, their both coloured with Flirty Flamingo Alcohol markers,

I wanted to share that the Lovely Lattice Stamp set can be and is more than it looks, even though I love it as it is see another card I made here from yesterdays blog post....

Im slightly addicted to the New Butterfly Gala stamps so couldn't resist adding a butterfly or 3! and that then included the 'Punch' Element required for the Tic -Tac - Toe challenge!
