April Blog Hop – Autumn/Winter Mini
Hi there
Welcome to our casual monthly Blog Hop on this Easter weekend. This month we are showcasing the new products from the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue. There is a great range on offer including stamps, accessories, Designer Series Papers, Big Shot dies and embossing folders and a super new punch as well. There has to be something there for everyone!
You may have come from the blog of the lovely and talented Christine Blain, but if not, you can join the Blog Hop from here using the link to the next blog at the end of the post. This month we have 7 Stampin' Up! demonstrators sharing their inspiration and the full list of contributors is also at the end of the post.
I have 2 clean and simple cards for you this month. The first card uses the zigzag strip from Tasteful Trim Bigz die to create a panel for this masculine card. The sentiment is from the 'Bring on the Cake' stamp set and the buttons on the star are from the Sweet Buttons embosslit die.

The second card is based on Clean and Simple 136 sketch. The floral panel is from the Sweet Stitches DSP. I've used another of the sentiments from the 'Bring on the Cake' stamp set and punched it out with the lovely Decorative Label punch. This one is already a favourite.

Hi Judy! Love what you have done especially the card for the CAS sketch! How sweet is that DSP?? So pretty TFS! Hope you are having a lovely Easter
Oh, Judy, these are STUNNING!! I am particularly in love with the first card, and will be CASEing that one for sure, if you don’t mind 🙂 LOVE what you’ve made!
Lovely cards Judy. I love the zig zag trim on the first card – very effective and perfect for a male card. I may just have to get this die!
Great cards Judy, love the zig zag, yet another thing to go on my wish list now. TFS your lovely cards
Love your cards Judy – now I need to add the new die to my shopping list after seeing it on your first card LOL
Great cards, Judy. So many lovely little ‘Judy-touches’!
Both absolutely gorgeous. I love them both, but the colours in the first really strike me and I think this would be a fantastic boys card.
Just love that first card Judy, and here I was thinking I didn’t need that die!!
