Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for October - if you've reached me from another blog then welcome to my page, or if you're starting with me then enjoy - once you've read my post, continue on your journey by hopping to the next post.

I'm Laura (aka The Stamping Cat) from the UK. Our theme for this month's blog hop is anything goes, as long as it's in the current Stampin' Up! catalogue.

For this post, I decided to get out one of the first bundles I bought when the Annual Catalogue launched back in June. The Stitched All Around stamp set with co-ordinating dies is so versatile - I love layering the dies (as I have in my card) to give a simple but elegant look.

I wanted to keep the background of the card simple too, but I added a bit of texture using the dynamic textured subtle embossing folder. This folder is amazing - it takes your plain cardstock and gives it a beautiful, almost linen like, effect on the cardstock. Pink and grey is one of my favourite colour combinations, so mounting on Blushing Bride and Grey Granite cardstock was perfect for me.

I hope you like my card, now you can continue hopping by clicking on the names below!

All items used can be purchased directly from me by clicking on my online shop.

Happy Hopping!
