This month, we are sharing our favorites from the new catalog. We know you will be inspired by all the creations the Pals share with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Since I’m a teacher, summer is when I really have time to get creative and make lots of cards. So any card fits our theme because I made lots of cards during summer vacation. However, this one also felt summery to me. I loved the sunny sky colors and the flowers!

I also love the way this fun fold shows the whole scene from our Thoughtful Journeys paper.

This fun fold is truly fun to make. It looks like it takes longer than it does to put together. When you open the flap by lifting the plane paper, it reveals a normal card that opens to allow plenty of room for writing.

I used the Take to the Sky Paper and matching Adventurous Sky stamps to create this fun fold card. To make this card

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, we are showing off the New 2024-2026 In Colors. We know you will be inspired by all the creations the Pals share with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

These cards were so much fun to make. I loved all of the colors, so made a card to feature each one. I decided to use Triple Layer stamping to really feature the large floral stamp in the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set. To create the layers I cut 3 sheets of Basic White and layered them on top of each other. I then stamped the layered pieces all together using one oft he 2024-2026 In Colors. After stamping, I separated t he pieces and glued each to a mat (using the same In-color).

To create the colored flowers, I stamped the floral image again using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then used the Layers of Beauty Decorative Masks to color in the two large flowers using the same In-Color ink and Shy Shamrock for the leaves. I LOVE these masks, they make shading so easy!

I cut the pair of flowers out and attached them over the the background image with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the happy birthday sentiment and an oval frame die from the Unbounded Love bundle. That one has so many great sayings and fun frames!

There is a full list of all the supplies I used at the end of this post.

Happy Hop Day! I am participating in the Monochromatic Insta Hop. Be sure to check out all the great pots over there! I decided to create a bridge card to feature Blackberry Bliss and the adorable Hearts and Hugs Stamp set.

Isn’t this a fun card! I love that it stands up by itself! And that little mouse is too cute. I stamped mine in Smoky Slate and then used the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends to color him in. The sentiment and hearts are stamped with Blackberry Bliss.

Blog Hop Card Inspiration Father's Day Masculine

Happy Technique Tuesday! This time our theme is vintage! I decided to feature our Take to the Sky paper with it’s vintage planes and images. You will love all the inspiration on this hop! There is a list at the end oft this post so you can see all the fabulous creations and leave some love!

I just love the Take to the Sky papers. created an easel card using Smoky Slate and some papers from the set. The easel is created by folding the front of the base in half again. The card then folds to make the image “stand up.”

For the focal image, I chose a 3X4 image from the cut apart sheet. The base image on the front is actually the back side of the same cut apart sheet! I used a stamp from Adventurous Sky and Copper Clay Ink. I used a Copper Clay Stamp n’ Write Marker to color around the edge to pop the sentiment a little and then set it on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally, I added some Industrial Trinkets using mini glue dots.

The card is held up by another image from the set. I stamped the largest plane in Mossy Meadow and used the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out the image which I also popped up on dimensionals.

When the card is open the sentiment is visible. I used another image from the stamp set and Smoky Slate Ink. The plane is stamped in second generation (I scrapped once on scrap paper then stamped on the page without re-inking).

Starting on June 5 you can get an extra 10% off stamp and die or stamp and punch bundles. This means 20% off when you buy the stamp with the cutters! And you will need a cutting machine. It’s on sale too! You can get the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine for 10% off!

Blog Hop Card Inspiration Father's Day Masculine

I love the Crafty Collaborations Blog hops. This one was an Instagram Hop – check it out here featuring Mossy Meadows monochromatic cards. I decided to use a sheet from Take to the Sky and a shaker for the focal point of this fun card.

This card was really fun to make. I used a half sheet of Mossy meadow (folded in half) for the card.

The white piece on the front has a large circle cut (for the shaker) and is embossed with the Metal Plate Embossing Folder.

I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach this white part around the shaker. The shaker includes sequins from my stash and window sheet (die cut into a circle) for the top. I also added a scrap of Mossy Meadow, to cover the edge of the shaker. The Take Your Pick Tool makes it so much easier to pick up sequins! I don’t know how I ever crafted without this thing!

I stamped the plane and sentiment from Adventurous Sky in Mossy Meadow ink and die cut them. The circle for Happiest Father’s Day is from the Unbounded Love dies. These dies have a ton of fun shapes that will work with so many sentiments!

Finally, I used mini glue dots to attach a few Industrial Trinkets.

The inside of the card features another stamp from the same set. I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink and then added the plane using second generation stamping with Mossy Meadows. I inked the image, stamped it on scratch paper, then stamped it on the card without re-inking to get a lighter image.

I hope you like the card and are inspired to get crafty!

Happy stamping,

This is my first blog hop with the Crafty Collaborations Team! I’m excited to join and work with this fun sketch. Below is my interpretation using some new goodies from the new Annual Catalog!

I had so much fun playing with new product to create this fun card. I stamped the images from Layers of Beauty with Memento Ink and used the In Color Stamp N’ Write Markers to color them in. I blended ink onto the edges of my card and matting paper to add more color (I am still waiting for my order that has the new cardstocks!). Blending brushes are a great way to add color! I also cut out the larger flowers from the big stamp and colored them in.

Please join our hop by following the links below and leave the awesome creators some love! You can also join the hop on Instagram and you will see even more interpretations of this sketch.
