Welcome to the first Pals Blog Hop of 2015. We hope your new year is off to a great creative start. To celebrate the start of a new Stampin’ Up! year, we are showcasing products from our newest catalog this month – the Occasions catalog. You may also see new Sale-a-bration products too. If you don’t know how to earn free Sale-a-bration products – contact your Stampin’ Up! demonstrator to learn more.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Lisa Ann Bernard at Queen B Creations. Use the full lineup below to move along from blog to blog so you see all of the new projects.

Have I mentioned how much I love the new Occasions Catalog? I have? Well, let me say it again. I love this new stuff!!! And the fact that you get something FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog for every $50 you spend just makes it that much better!

Today’s card uses several of the new products – see the complete product list at the bottom of this post.  It’s called an Infinity Card because it just goes on and on in an unending cycle as you keep unfolding it.

This is the card front:

Open it from the center to get this:

Open it from the center again to get this:

Open it from the center a third time to get this:

Open it from the center a fourth time to get back to the front.

( I tried to make the card lie flat to photograph it, but it’s an interactive card that definitely looks better in your hands. If I’d had a hand model available, I would’ve photographed it that way. But with one hand holding the camera, this was all I could do.)

TIP: For the sentiment on the back of the card, I masked off most of a stamp from the Balloon Bash photopolymer stamp set, revealing only HAPPYBIRTHDAY. I cut a piece of scratch paper to fit around the sentiment I wanted, and to cover the rest of the stamp. I inked the stamp, then removed the paper to stamp the image onto the card.

Come back tomorrow for the pattern and directions for this fun Infinity Card!

The next stop on the Pals Blog Hop is Dawn Tidd at Tiddbits From Dawn!

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
