Hello, and welcome to another fabulous Stampin' Addicts blog hop, where we will be showing off the new goodies coming in the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog. There are fourteen blogs linked together, each featuring a different item. If you started at the beginning, and are following in order, you just arrived from Holly's blog, Rubber Redneck, using the adorable Hearts a Flutter set.
Today I'm showcasing the Ciao, Baby stamp set. It's so versatile, it's a must-have item! Especially since it coordinates with the new 7/8" Scallop Circle punch (and a new one coming in Sale-A-Bration). But today it's all about the Spring Catalog. Stampin' Up! is launching it's year-long celebration of 25 years in business with this catalog, and it is something special!
We're starting with a birthday card for a son, using just the center portion of the Ciao, Baby "#1" stamp. I was going to make it #1 Dad, but the circle fit better in an O, so the son won!
Up next is a sweetheart of a card that uses several different items from the new catalog. I adore the vintage feel, don't you? For this one, I just inked up the "Love" because I didn't want to use the Petite Curly frame around it. The heart doily is from the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper, and the lace can be found in the Artisan Embellishments Kit. See the brad? (Yes that IS a brad!) There's a bit of More Amore DSP under the epoxy bubble. Just a hint of what's in that pack!
For the final project, there's a treat box, filled with love notes and a sweet surprise under the lid! Took me a little while to figure out how to do it, but it finally worked on the third try.
Each little note has a matching envelope, and they all peek out of the oval window in the box. Did I mention the oval? No? There are Oval Framelits in the new catalog, too!!!
So, there you have it, a little taste of good things to come! Your next stop on the hop is Rhonda Griffin, The Stamping Bunny. She's going to wow you with the Secret Garden Bundle (stamps and matching Framelits).
Thanks so much for stopping by today. This hop is put on by The Stampin' Addicts, a wonderful group of folks who love all things Stampin' Up! When you have a chance, drop in and say Hi. We'd love to meet you! And be sure to check out the gallery for lots of stamping inspiration.

WOWZERS! All three projects are wonderful and oh-so case worthy! The lace on the 2nd card is GORGEOUS and that box - what a wonderful gift for someone! They will definitely feel "swell" when they receive it :)
Wow! Love the circle theme of the first card, the delicate textures of the second, and the chevrons on the b-day cake!!!
What? How did I not realize there was a new scallop punch?! Very creative ways to use this stamp set. Chocolates on the top of the box? That looks like an engineering marvel... I'm sure you'll tell us more soon.
These projects are so awesome, Cindy! Can't wait to find out about that box. The cards are just stunning.
So cute. I really like the "Son" card. Love the letters with the offset shadow effect.
So cute.
I can't wait to see more about that box!! Love the son card!
Kudos for the engineering on the treat box -- if the front was just a window card, I would have been impressed enough, but WOW!
Great projects, Cindy! I really love the elegance of the 2nd card.
Awesome projects. Thank you for sharing.
