Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Wonderful Cards/Projects from the Garden” where our design team showcase projects from things found in a garden, such as flowers, vegetables, fruits, or even a garden scene. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. Once you finish here, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I love flowers! I have fresh flowers on my counter often. I am a gardener and grow annuals, perennials, berries and vegetables. My favorite stamp sets to buy are the flower sets. I’ve been using the All Squared Away Bundle a lot lately because I love these flowers.
This card is fun to decorate inside and out. Here’s what you need to make this easy gift card holder:
Magenta Madness Cardstock (CS) 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base scored at 2-1/2″ and 5-1/2″, 3″ x 3″ square, scrap for die cut flowers
Basic Black CS 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″, 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ for die cut
Basic White CS 2-3/4″ x 4″ for sentiment, 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″,
Designer Series Paper (DSP) 2-3/4″ x 4″, (2) 2-1/4″ x 4″
Here’s a FB Live video showing how to make this card.
Here’s another card I made with the All Squared Away Bundle. If you like flowers too, I hope you’ll consider getting the All Squared Away Bundle.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team, because the Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on August 11th. Our theme will be “My Happiest Season” when our Design Team creates a project showcase projects inspired by their favorite season of the year. Until then, have fun in your craft space.
I love to spread joy and positivity in this world, and what better way than sending my July customers a bright and happy card made with the Pierced Blooms dies. Pick out your three favorite colors, add a coordinating green color for leaves and you have a cute and easy card design. You can make lots of cards in no time. It’s fun to use different flower sizes, colors and change it up. Would it surprise you to know I have bags of die cut flowers in my favorite colors? When I want to make a card, I grab the bags and start designing.
I used the second smallest Stitched Rectangles die on these cards.
You can see the dimension and detail of the card above. Here’s a FB Live video showing how to make these cards.
Please see all the others on the blog hop below.
I’ve had hobby demos and others who have never ordered from me before, place an order with me recently. They are trying to help me toward my goal of treating my scuba diving husband, Steve, to the Stampin’ Up incentive cruise on the Western Caribbean. I can’t begin to tell you how touched I am and I truly appreciate you! I’ve been a demo since 2003 and never even come close to earning the trip. I will share the experience with you every step of the way. There are several ways you could help.

Measurements
Cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Balmy Blue CS scored at 4-1/4″. Cut 3-3/4″ off the upper right hand corner in both directions. See picture below.
Cut and adhere 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White CS inside the card.
Cut 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ DSP and then cut diagonally. Adhere the upper right triangle inside the card leaving a border. Adhere the lower left triangle on the front of the card.

Run a scrap of Sahara Sand CS through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die. Adhere to card front being careful not to put glue in the upper right hand corner so you don’t glue your card shut. 🙂

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demo since 2003 and have never even come close to earning the incentive trip. This year I am the closest I’ve ever been largely due to most of my Joy Team members promoting this year, but I need to sell a lot in the next three months. I would love to take my scuba diving husband, Steve, on the cruise to the Western Caribbean.
