New Annual Catalogue ILWS Blog Hop!!

Hello and welcome to Sparkle Crafts!  I am involved in a Blog Hop today to show you projects using the new products available in the recently released Stampin' Up! 2013/2014 Annual Catalogue.

You may have arrived here from the talented Lorraine who has created some lovely projects.

 The project below uses the Label Love set which has 7 greetings within the same shaped label.  With the matching punch it is very easy to create a simple card with no fuss!

The close up below shows the Happy Birthday label, punched with the matching punch and layered on a punched circle and scallop circle to create a rosette effect.  Simple!

The semi circle in Summer Starfruit has been embossed with the Chevron embossing folder which gives texture.

I love these new ready made Tag a Bag Gift boxes, complete with acetate sleeve.  They are flat packed and are so easy to assemble, especially for those last minute gift boxes.  This one was filled with sweets from my youth (flying saucers, foam shrimps and bananas, milk and cola bottles, teeth and lips)! As you can see they didn't last long enough for me to take a photo!  The wrapper is simply a strip of Designer Series Paper and some punched circles and a punched Happy Birthday tag tied on with bakers twine from the Tag a Bag Accessory Kit.
