Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

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.

There’s more inspiration to show you, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be All Creatures Great and Small.

Hi Creative Friends!
I was looking for ideas and remembered that I could share the cards I created using Crafty Al’s Sheet Load. July’s set creates 5X7 cards which are just too big for me. I LOVE to make cards, but I hate to write in them! I figure the creation of the card shows enough love that I can write a short message. 5X7 cards leave way too much room for writing!

Anyway, liked the pattern, so I adapted it for “normal” A2 sized cards. I am also running low on my favorite cardstock colors, so I only made two cards. Both cards use paper from Unbounded Beauty and the sentiment and its mat are from the Unbounded Love bundle. I love the dies – they work with so many other sentiments too!

During July we are having Bonus Days. You earn coupons for spending money! For every $50 you spend, you will get a $5 coupon to redeem with your purchase in August. This makes it a GREAT time to stock up on supplies this month and earn money to spend on more crafting goodness next month!

If you’re in the US and don’t already have a consultant, I would love to be your person! If you order $50 or more with my hostess code (see the top of my page), I will send you a Tutorial bundle with step by step instructions to create more than 40 different cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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 Diagonal Joy Fold card to feature Real Read and the awesome Trucking Along Stamp set.

That truck stamp is just the best! I love that it has a punch for quick cardmaking. The metal Plate embossing folder is also perfect with the truck. The birthday sentiment is from Adventurous sky and was perfect on this card.

During June, 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!

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.

There’s more inspiration to show you, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be Our Favorites in the New Catalog.

It’s time for another hop. This time the team from Crafty Collaborations is inspiring you with Clean and Simple Cards. Please enjoy the hop – the line up is at the end of this post. Happy hopping!

I just love the New In Colors Designer Series Paper. I used 2 sheets of Pretty In Pink. I also used a blending brush to add Pretty In Pink to the edge of my card before I placed the embossed sheet. The white page is embossed using the Eyelet 3D embossing folder.

The stamps are both from Hearts and Hugs. I stamped the mouse with Smoky Slate and colored him with the Pretty in Pink Stamp N Write marker and the Smoky Slate blends. The Sentiment is stamped on Pretty in Pink paper and popped up using dimensionals.

Please don’t forget to leave me some love before you check out the rest of the hop!

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.

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.

Happy Stamping,

For Thing One, I have stitching around the sentiment. For Thing Three, I used the sketch, and For Thing Two I entered my card over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. You can play too!

Birthday Card Inspiration

I cut up a piece of Hello Darlin Paper and turned it into these 4 cards. I also decorated the envelopes. I love using up my papers!

This card set uses paper from Hello Darlin, coordinating colors (Sapphire and Scarlet).

I stamped the Cake and sentiment from the Another Candle with Black and Scarlet inks. The other card with the cake is also dry embossed with the Cascading Dots Embossing Folder.

The Wishing you a Happy Birthday sentiment is from Wishing You All the Things and is stamped with Scarlet and Candy Apple,

The Happy Birthday (bottom card) is from Flourished Greetings and uses the coordinating Flourished Layers stamp set. I LOVE these two sets. They are so much fun!
