Hello my friends and welcome to the first official blog hop of the new 2017 Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team. I have been lucky enough to be chosen to serve on this incredible team for another year (this will be my third) and I hope you’ll continue to enjoy the creations I have to share with you. A new team also means you’ll find lots of great new blogs to follow from all over the world – and if this is your first visit to my blog, welcome to CANADA. Some of the blogs may not be in your language, so be sure to use the google translate feature to get all the details from the designers.
My project today is a piece of Valentines home decor using the Sealed with Love Stamp Set and Love Notes Framelits Dies. You’ll find these great new products bundled in the Occasions Catalogue for a 10% savings – yahoo!
When creating a project like this, I find it’s easiest for me if I choose a colour palette and work on one square at a time. I especially love the one above with the four tiny envelopes. You’ll find that cute envelope in the Love Notes Framelits Dies.
There are lots of great elements on this piece, and tons of fun products from both the Occasions and Annual Catalogues, but one AMAZING item that you won’t find in any catalogue is the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. These were released briefly in the fall, at which time they sold out so so quickly. Well now they’re back in stock and ready to order! I don’t think I can bring myself to die cut a non-stitched circle, square, or oval while these are available. I think they’re to ‘die’ for.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today, and I hope you’re inspired to create your own piece of Valentines home decor. You’ll find links to my Canadian Online Stampin’ Up! Shop so you can purchase the the products I’ve used at the bottom of this post.

Greetings from Ruth
You know I want to CASE this, right? I LOVE it! I am so thrilled we get to work together on another DT this year! Looking forward to hopping with you Allison ♥
Allison, this is so beautiful! I love how soft and sweet this is.
Hallo Allison, super schön! Die Farbkombination ist klasse! Ich freue mich auf die nächsten Monate! Liebe Grüße Maike
Allison, this is a dream!
Just beautiful!
I look forward to the year with you!
I'm so glad you've been chosen to participate on the 2017 Artisan Design Team. I love your designs! I can't wait to try and duplicate your beautiful Valentine home decor project!
LOVE it Allison! So much detail and the colour combo is gorgeous. I'm looking forward to sharing this year on the team with you x
ah-dorable!!!
Love this Allison! The colors are perfect (and my favorites!).
This is adorable and I need it for my mantel. That is all 😉
Perfection as always, my friend!
Just stunning as always, Allison! The colour combo is fabulous and the little details on each square is amazing! I don't think I will be able to die cut a circle, square or oval with out the Stitched Framelits either. So fabulous to be on the ADT with you. Rochelle xo
So cute and amazing as always Allison!
Gorgeous! Love that you are on the ADT again this year 🙂 always enjoy checking out your creations

A beautiful creation in my favourite colour combinations.
I am curious, how big are the squares? I'm guess 3×3 (not sure what that comes to in metric 🙂 though)?
This is great–love all the fun you put into it–and I think the little set of envelopes is my favorite square, too.
Oh my! This is fabulous! I love it!
This is so stunning, Alison!
