Stampin’ Up! Artisan Embellishment Kit

Recently, I found a beautiful challenge blog called Cardabilities and I felt inspired to try out the beautiful scrap book style.

Here is the lovely sketch:

Isn’t it pretty? I had been wanting to use the little pink roses in the Artisan Embellishment Kit and when I saw this sketch, the card quickly fell into place.

The roses are just beautiful.

And the soft pink is just perfect for a baby girl.

This girly, layered baby card was so fun to create and I am so thankful I found Cardabilities to help inspire me!

Be sure to go check them out for lots of beautiful inspiration to get your creative juices flowing.

Happy stampin’ friends!

Have you seen any of the mini Mad Hatter hats on Pinterest? I’m simply “mad” about them!

Well, when I first saw the little embellishments in the new Artisan Embellishment Kit from the Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions catalog, I thought they would be cute glued to pins and stuck in the trim of a little Mad Hatter hat, so I set out to make one. I couldn’t find a tutorial for a paper one (and of course I had to make it out of Stampin’ Up! products) so I figured out how to make one out of a paper cup. It went together quite easily and I will definitely be making more of these!

Here is a close up of the pretty Artisan Embellishments turned into hat pins and a rose made from the new jute ribbon:

Because this was my first try, I did not take photos as I went, so I can’t post a tutorial yet. I plan to work on that this afternoon and get it posted soon. I already have another mini paper hat in my head and I can’t wait to make it!
