Birthday

Pals August Blog Hop

Welcome to the August 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re going to “Cut It Out”. Participants will feature projects with “cuts” from punches, dies, Framelits, Edgelits, or Thinlits.

Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

I made this card to use as a Sympathy card for my kid’s favorite swim coach, who recently lost her Mom. I used 3-3/4″ x 1″ strips of each of the new In Colors and adhered them to a piece of 5″ x 3-3/4″ white card stock. I ran that through the Big Shot with the Fluttering embossing folder. With Stampin’ Dimensionals, the butterfly layer is attached to a Flirty Flamingo 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card. The Isaiah verse is from the Rose Wonder stamp set. Everything looks better when it’s cut out with the Stitched Shape Framelits. If you own a Big Shot you will want to get them! The butterfly is from the Bold Butterfly Framelits.

Here’s a birthday version of the card. The little butterflies are cut from the Build A Bike Framelits.

Here’s a similar card flipped the other way. The Happy Anniversary is from a retired set, All-Year Cheer III from back in 2002. (I’m dating myself.) The colors are Powder Pink, Sweet Sugarplum, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Blackberry Bliss.( All are current except Blackerry Bliss.)

The Big Shot is a wonderful tool that allows you to make awesome “cuts” on your cards.

Please take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on September 13, 2017. Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. Thank you so much for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today.

Naturally Eclectic Card Box Set!

Yeah! I’m the designer for today’s Craft Project Central project – Naturally Eclectic Card Box Set!

When you need a gift in a hurry, you’ll be able to whip up these cards using the gorgeous Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper. Who wouldn’t love a set of four handmade cards and envelopes in a cute box made with the Envelope Punch Board?! Make up several sets and you’ll always have a gift handy for a special occasion.

This sweet box makes such a nice thank you gift when it contains four hand stamped cards and four envelopes.

I love the sentiment on this card.

Who wouldn’t love finding this sweet birthday card in their mailbox?!

Everybody needs thank you notes.

This one is my favorite!

Superman (my husband, Steve), Ryan, Abby, Keegan and I are all at Family Camp in Okoboji this week! We wish Sean was here with us too! We go to a wonderful, Bible-based, Holy Spirit-filled camp. We’ve gone every year for about twenty years. It’s so nice to be away from T.V., newspapers and the “noise” of the world and focus on our family and God.

Pal’s Blog Hop

Welcome to the July 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re having a Pattern Party! Hoppers will feature projects using their favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and coordinating embellishments. After all, color coordination is a Stampin’ Up! Strength.

Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the new catalog is so gorgeous, I had trouble picking a favorite. I finally landed on Naturally Eclectic DSP.

Isn’t it pretty?!

Since I am showing you my favorite DSP, I thought I would also show you my all time favorite box. I was surprised to see my directions to make the Snickers Box have been pinned 10,000 times! That is way more than my other pins. 🙂 Here’s the link to the directions. You can put a full size Snickers or Milky Way bar or four mini bars in each box.

I used the Night of Navy and Emerald Envy markers to make the two tone tag.

This 5/8″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon comes in Berry Burst, Emerald Envy, Night of Navy and Peekaboo Peach. I recently offered a share of paper, ribbon and embellishments so people could get a little sampling of everything. I was really excited knowing I would be keeping 1/8 of a roll of each of the 50 new ribbons in the annual catalog. Accidentally, I oversold the ribbon and ended up with no ribbon for myself. I was actually bummed, so to console myself I bought the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon in all four colors!

Please take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on August 9, 2017 when our projects will feature “cuts” from punches, dies, framelits, edgelits, or thinlits. Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. Thank you so much for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today. See you on August 9^th!
