Today is Blog Hop day! Me and 15 other demonstrators in Julie Kettlewell's team (Julie's Jems) are taking part. We have each created special and unique projects using new Stampin' Up! products and will be sharing them today on our blogs.
All you have to do is hop from one blog to the next using the buttons at the bottom of this post and enjoy the crafty loveliness! (If you've hopped here from Jane's page, you'll have seen some fabulous creations already!)
I really love the More Amore product suite in the new Spring/Summer catalogue so I was inspired to create something with a love theme - especially as it's coming up to Valentine's Day. I decided to make a 'Love' wall hanging.
I started with some old coasters and I covered these in the More Amore designer series papers.
I cut out the letters with the typeset alphabet dies and my Big Shot and then just went crazy embellishing each coaster with hearts, flowers, butterflies, pearls and and rhinestones! I think you can get away with going a teeny bit over the top for Valentine's!!
The bunting behind the 'L' was made with a stamp from the Hearts a Flutter set and matching framelit die. The hearts are punched from the More Amore papers with the small heart punch.
I punched out two flowers with the Blossom Punch and added an Itty Bitty punched flower in the centre with a large pearl on top (you can find these in the annual catalogue!).
The butterflies - a stamp from the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Bloomin' Marvellous - were punched out with the brand new Bitty Butterfly punch.
I couldn't resist making a couple of spiral flowers too, and some small flowers punched with the Itty Bitty Punches. The red heart is cut from a sheet of the More Amore papers and the newsprint heart is the First Edition designer papers punched out with the Full Heart punch.
The colours are Primrose Petals, Pool Party, Real Red and Very Vanilla.
I hope you like my project - please leave a comment before you hop onto to the next blog, which is Sharon's!

DeleteHi Kylie, I love banners and wall hangings and these really showcase the More Amore Paper beautifuly. This is a great project that would adapt to so many themes and it looks striking. Angie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie - I had planned on making 2 contrasting ones but ran out of time!
DeleteHi Kylie, this is gorgeuous. I love the rhinestones on the butterflies, the bunting and the rolled roses. This would make a good project for a class - maybe you could use beer mats? xx
ReplyDeletei wanted to make something like this for a friends wedding but had no idea what to use as card seemed too light and flyaway now i know thankyou and am surprised the cropodile will go through coasters but will be making something along these lines very soon, thanx for the inspiration x
ReplyDeleteActually once I'd covered the coasters it was a bit too thick for the crop-a-dile - I had to scrape a bit of the cork off the back in each of the corners with my scissors...
DeleteHello Kylie, Well what can I say but WOW WOW WOW F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S love your gorgeous bunting, so clever, Love the colour tones, and all the gorgeous papers and punches and ribbons you have used, STUNNING Love Lise xxx
