Valentine’s Day

Pals Art from the Heart Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because this month’s theme is “Art from the Heart” and we think you’re going to love it! You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

For many papercrafters, having someone “CASE” their card and give them credit is the highest form of compliment. Well, I loved the card shown below made by Mary Fish, my upline and leader of the Stampin’ Pretty Pals community.

I ended up making many versions of Mary’s card.

First I made the Pool Party version of the card, almost exactly like Mary’s. I used this for a private class in my Stamping Studio. Everyone loved it! Then I wanted to make more for a card swap, but I was running out of the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper (DSP), so I switched to the Flirty Flamingo version with the From My Heart Specialty DSP. I made it again with a Real Red card base and ran the Flirty Flamingo through the Big Shot with the Scripty embossing folder. The swappers liked this version, so I used it again for two more classes I had.

Then I tipped the card on its side and went back to the Pool Party and the Pleased As Punch DSP, but I kept the Scripty embossing folder.

It was so much fun starting with Mary’s awesome card and making so many different versions of it for my classes and swaps. I have one more version of this card that will show up on my blog soon. Thanks Mary for letting me CASE your sweet card! 🙂 Happy Valentine’s Day!

I used bright colors, foil paper, fun fold, and ribbon off the Inspo List.

To make this box I started with Flirty Flamingo Cardstock 3-1/2″ x 9″ scored at 1-3/4″, 2-1/2″, 4-1/4″, and 5″.

ornament Christmas card

Abby is graduating in May from the University of Iowa after three years of college. She applied to the PhD program in Microbiology and found out this week she got an offer and is starting the program this summer. Abby is so excited and we are very proud of her! We sent her these flowers this week to congratulate her. 🙂 Keegan will be our only one still in college, which I guess can only mean more money for stamps! (Please don’t tell Steve I said that!) 🙂

Speaking of Steve, did you see the Facebook Live video last week where he made me a Valentine card without any help? He’s pretty sweet. Here’s the link to his video, for some reason he gets more “likes” than I do! 🙂 In the video you’ll also see my Stamping Studio and the big table where I have my classes.

Blessings,

Beth
