Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Summer Vacation. 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.
The Happiest Day stamp set is perfect for making cards with sunshine, dragonflies and rainbows!
The inside of this card is the best part! It’s so much fun creating little scenes to fill the squares. This card may be a little thick for mailing, but it’s worth the surprise when you open it up.

Video
Please watch my video showing how to make this card and another version made in the horizontal direction.
My Texas kids are here for 10 days and we have been having the best time going to the Iowa State Fair, playing Euchre and other games, mini golfing, eating, laughing, and more. We had a great time having a fire pit until many of us woke up the next day covered in no-see-um bites. I may never go outside after dusk again. If you’ve never had these you may not realize how painful they can be.
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.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
