Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “Flowers in Bloom.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the Pals’ blogs are at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!
For this month’s flower theme, I wanted to show off two, new, 2025-2027 In Colors, Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush. The flowers are featured in the wonderful, Celebratory Sips Designer Paper, as well as the die-cuts. I began by cutting the designer paper 5 1/2″ X 4″, and gluing it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used a Fancy Borders Die to cut two sections of Basic White Cardstock, which I glued on the top, and bottom, of the card front. Prior to gluing the top section, I used one of the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders to give it texture.
Fancy Borders Flowers
The three flowers were cut with Happy Hibiscus Dies from three colors of cardstock: Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, and Bubble Bath. The leaves were created with a Fancy Borders Die and Old Olive Cardstock. After gluing the leaves to the flowers, I attached them with Mini Dimensionals, and added 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls to the centers.
“Hello there,” is from the Blooming Phrases Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. I wasn’t thinking, or I would have used the new, Secret Sea In Color. Don’t you love the font in this set? Be sure to click on the picture in my Product List below to see all of the sentiments.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month’s theme is “Male Room.” The Pals hope to inspire you with their masculine card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!
Woven Textures
The first thing I did was cut the “straw mat” from the center of one of the patterns, using a Spotlight On Nature Die. Then, I used the largest Textured Notes Die to cut Basic White Cardstock to layer on the Gray Granite card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Before gluing, I stamped a branch, from the Textured Notes Stamp Set, in Gray Granite Ink on the Basic White Cardstock layer.
Next, I used Wanted to Say Dies to cut “Happy Birthday” from Thick Basic White Cardstock. Then, I cut the backing from Woven Textures Designer Paper, glued them together, and attached the words with Dimensionals.
How do like the miniature scissors? They were cut with Crafting with You Dies from Silver Foil and Basic Black Cardstock. I love how realistic they are! They are cutting leaves that I stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Woven Textures Designer Paper. As a final touch, I added three Adhesive Backed Textured Dots, and my masculine birthday card was complete.

This month’s theme is “Birthday Celebrations.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!
I had fun using the Everyday Arches Bundle for today’s birthday card.
Arch Shaped Birthday Card
I began with a card base of Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, which I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, with the largest Everyday Arches Die. I placed the die as close to the edge as possible, without cutting the fold. Then, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Floral Vellum, and glued it in place.
Next, I used the fifth largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and glued it in middle of the card front. Then, I used the sixth largest Everyday Arches Dies to cut Gingham Vellum, along with Basic White Cardstock for backing. Prior to gluing, I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Old Olive Ink, and let it dry overnight, because it smears easily if it isn’t dry. This sentiment is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, which I chose for the font.
The three flowers were cut from the Floral Vellum with a Delightful Wishes Die. Then, I attached the flowers with Dimensionals, and added Rainbow Dots.
For the inside, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Basic White Cardstock. Before Gluing it in place, I stamped “you are simply fantastic” In Pool Party Ink. This is one of the fun, arched, sentiments in the Everyday Arches Stamp Set. I also stamped a flower from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set in Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight Inks. The envelope flap was decorated with Floral Delight Designer Paper.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “The Language of Love.” We hope our creations inspire you today! The lineup at the end of my post will help guide you to all the Pals participating today.
I hope that today’s card “makes your heart smile,” and you feel the love. I began by coloring Basic White Cardstock with Blending Brushes and three colors of ink: Pretty In Pink, Poppy Parade, and Flirty Flamingo. Then, I stamped the large, Layers Of Beauty stamp, in Memento Black Ink on top of the blended colors. After stamping, I used the second largest, Hearts Of Elegance Die, for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals. Don’t you love the detailed edge of this heart?
Layers Of Beauty
Next, I created the background with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, embossed with the Layered Florals Embossing Folder. This was glued to a Pretty In Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “You make my heart smile,” is from the Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set. I stamped it in VersaMark on Basic Black Cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Then, I used a Delicate Forest Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. I put two Dimensionals under “smile,” because of the raised heart, to keep the label even. As a final touch, I attached three, pink, Rainbow Dots.

Yay! Sale-a-bration is here! You can now get the Sale-a-bration items for FREE, with a qualifying order! My favorite item is the Heart Shaped Bundle, which I’m featuring on my card today. I began by stamping two hearts, from the Heart Shaped Stamp Set, in Melon Mambo on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I stamped, “my heart loves your heart,” in Memento Black Ink, between the hearts.
Heart Shaped
Next, I used a Heart Shaped Die to cut two hearts from Marbled Elegance Designer Paper, and glued them on top of the stamped hearts. A second die was used to cut three flowers, which I glued next to leaves that I stamped in Melon Mambo. This paper, Marbled Elegance, has wonderful, gold highlights, and is an Online Exclusive, with a link in my Product List below.
After gluing the layer to my Bubble Bath card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I added three Blooming Pearls to the flowers.

Move over poinsettia; make room for the hibiscus! The hibiscus is flourishing in San Diego for the holidays, and this beautiful photo was my inspiration.
I began by stamping the Happy Hibiscus flower in Poppy Parade Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After cutting with its Happy Hibiscus Die, I used three Stamping Blends to complete the coloring: Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight.
Holidays Hibiscus
Next, I colored Basic White Cardstock with Garden Green Ink and a Small Blending Brush. Then, I used a Happy Hibiscus Die to cut six leaves to surround the flower. Four were glued flat on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and two were raised on Dimensionals with the flower.
The branch was cut with a Thoughtful Wishes Die from Crumb Cake Cardstock, and the layer was glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake Ink. “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” is from the Greetings Of The Season Stamp Set.
