Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop – November 2022

3 Comments November 14, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s the 14th of the month – time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop!

This month we are CASEing the Catty ( Mini and/or Annual). Some of us have completely cased the cards, others have done it with a spin.

Hop around see all the amazing cards created by our team members! Leave a little love and then come back to see us again on the 14th next month!

My card was inspired by a Merriest Moments card on p. 23 of the Stampin’ Up! mini Jul – Dec 2022 catalogue. The original was a slimline card, so I compressed it to a standard card base. I love the look of the Blushing Bride and stamped off Sweet Sorbet next to the Shaded Spruce and Mint Macaron.

This DSP is a huge 48 sheet pack that you can get as a host DSP and is only available with Stampin’ Rewards (ask me for more details on how you can get it). The stamp set has coordinating dies and a hybrid embossing folder. I used those to create the vellum leaf accents.

Please leave a comment below and make sure to follow my blog for lots more great inspiration!
