Catalog Favorites for the Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is our Favorites from the New Catalog. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

For this month’s blog hop, I created a fun fold card with two of my favorite bundles, Spotlight On Nature and Thoughtful Wishes. I started with a Boho Blue card base, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, scored at 3″. The 3″ fold is the front, which I covered with Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, 2 3/4″ X 4″. The same design was used for the inside, 2 3/4″ X 4″, and 5 1/4″ X 4″.

Fun Fold Favorites

 

Spotlight On Nature Dies were used to cut circles from Thoughtful Journey DSP. I used two sheets of the same design, which enabled me to match the pattern across the card, cut the circles, the wildflowers, and the branch. I backed the front circle with Boho Blue Cardstock, and carefully glued all the circles. I wanted the smaller circle, on the inside, to be covered, while leaving the larger circle exposed.

 

After gluing the circles, I stamped the sentiments from the Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set. However, I recommend doing this prior to gluing, in case of a mishap. I stamped “You make life better” on the outside, and “I appreciate you” on the inside, in Night Of Navy Ink.  I also stamped leaves on the inside, from the Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set, in Soft Sea Foam Ink.

 

After layering the wildflowers and branch for thickness, I glued them in place. Then, I added three Brushed Brass Butterflies as a final touch.

Pocketful of Pencils for Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is the new 2024-2026 In Colors. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

To show off the 2024-2026 In Colors, I used a pencil from the Trusty Tools Stamp Set, stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used its pencil die for cutting. After cutting the pencils, I colored them with Stampin’ Blends in the five In Colors: Shy Shamrock, Petunia Pop, Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, and Summer Splash.

Pocketful of Pencils

 

We actually have a “surprise,” sixth, new color this year, Basic Beige. I used this color for the card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with a pattern of Country Lace Designer Paper in Basic Beige, cut with the largest Perennial Postage die.

 

Next, I used the medium Pocket Thoughts Die to cut a pocket from Country Lace Designer Paper. To add distinction to the pocket, I cut a 3/4″ piece of DSP, and glued it to the top.

 

Prior to gluing the pocket to the card front, I glued the pencils inside. The pocket has score lines for folding, and forms a natural pocket when glued. Really cool!

 

“Thank you” is from the Trusty Tools Stamp Set, stamped in Basic Beige Ink, for subtlety. To complete my design, I added In Color Shimmer Gems in each of the five colors.

Memory Keeping

 

First, I had a few of my favorite digital pictures developed through CVS, and cut them to size with my Paper Trimmer. Second, I decided on Wildly Flowering Designer Paper for the background. Third, I found meaningful sentiments from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped “you’re wonderful, you’re loved, you matter,” and “you can do amazing things,” in Moody Mauve Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I cut them with their Wonderful Thoughts Dies, and glued them in place.

 

“Happy Birthday” is from the Wanted To Say die set, and the number “1” is from the Alphabet A La Mode die set, both cut from white Glimmer Specialty Paper. After adding three Paper Butterfly Accents, my two album pages were complete, celebrating Lily’s first birthday.

Sneak Peek for the Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is See How My Garden Grows. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My garden themed card will give you a sneak peek of products from the 2024-25 Annual Catalog, available May 1st. Along with a sneak peek, I’m using a current favorite, Textured Floral, available as a bundle, with a 10% discount. The Textured Floral stamp set and dies will be in the new catalog, but no longer sold as a bundle.

Let’s begin with the exciting, new, neutral color, Basic Beige, which I used for the card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I layered it with a pattern of new, Country Lace Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I stamped the sentiment, “Birthday blooms for you,” from the Textured Floral Stamp Set. It was stamped in Crumb Cake Ink, which is a great combo with Basic Beige, because they both have green undertones.

By Su Mohr for the Pals Blog Hop; Click aromasandart.com to go to my website for details! Featuring: Textured Floral Bundle, Encircled In Nature, 2024-2026 In Colors, Basic Beige, Bordered Ribbon; #texturedfloral #wreaths #wreathsoncards #flowers #flowersoncards #encircledinnature #2024-2026InColors #palsbloghop

New Basic Beige!!!

 

The wreath was created with  Encircled In Nature Dies, used to cut Basic Beige Cardstock and Very Vanilla Cardstock. This die set is available in Online Exclusives, and you can see the entire set in my Product List below.

The background for my photography is another pattern of County Lace Designer Paper. You’re going to want it!

 

Next, I stamped the Textured Floral flowers in Flirty Flamingo, and in two new 2024-26 In Colors, Pretty In Pink and Peach Pie. After cutting the flowers with their Textured Floral Die, and curling with my Bone Folder, I attached them with Dimensionals. I love the watercolored look of this flower!

The bow is from new, Beige Bordered Ribbon, which I frayed, and attached with Glue Dots. And, speaking of dots, I added a few, new, 2024-26 In Color Resin Dots.

 

More inspiration awaits, 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 Fun Family Occasions.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Easter Bunny for the Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is “It’s All About the Kids.” We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Pals Blog Hop theme is perfect for making Easter cards, and the Easter Bunny Punch from our 2023-2024 Annual Catalog came in handy. I punched the bunny from Basic White Cardstock, and used a Small Blending Brush to add Bubble Bath Ink to her edges. Then, I punched two more bunnies, and glued them together to give the bunny thickness.

Easter Bunny

 

The card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, is Bubble Bath, to match the bunny’s fur. This is layered with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Scalloped Contours Die. The top layer is Delightful Floral Designer Paper in Fresh Freesia, cut with the second largest Scalloped Contours Die.

 

“Happy Easter” was created with the Mini Alphabet Dies, Delightful Floral DSP, and Foam Adhesive Sheets. I attached a 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″ piece of Delightful Floral DSP to the same size Foam Adhesive Sheet. After placing the Mini Alphabet Die on top of the patterned side, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine several times. I was able to keep the backing on the letters while removing them from the die, until it was time to adhere them to the card front. This gives wonderful dimension to the letters!

 

To give the bunny some greenery, I used one of The Love Of Spring Dies to cut Delightful Floral DSP. After gluing the plants in place, I attached the bunny with Dimensionals. The beautiful eggs are Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls.

Lovebirds for the Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is “Love Is In The Air.” We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I began today’s card with my favorite Sale-a-bration designer paper, Flight & Airy. The lovebirds were fussy cut, and the flowers were cut with Paper Florist Dies. You should check out the Paper Florist Dies, in my Product List below, because it’s a fabulous set!  After cutting the flowers, I glued the petals together, added centers cut from Gray Granite Cardstock, curled the petals with a Bone Folder, and placed them on Dimensionals.

Featuring: Flight & Airy DSP, Love For You Dies, Paper Florist Dies, Gorgeous Garden Dies; #flight&airy #loveforyou #paperflorist #gorgeousgarden #birds #birdsoncards #palsbloghop #handmadecards #handcrafted #diy #cardmaking #papercrafting #stamping #stampinup #sumohr #artisandesignteam

Lovebirds

 

Next, I cut the background leaves with a Gorgeous Garden Die from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I glued it to a Gray Granite card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

“Love” was cut with  Love For You Dies from Gray Granite Cardstock, and a backing of Basic White Cardstock. The backing is great, because it allows you to easily raise the word on Dimensionals.

 

Once the lovebirds flew to their places, I attached the flowers, and the word, “love.” I also added three Tinsel Gems in a pretty blue to match the birds.
