Cards

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Something New.” If you’re looking for inspiration and a reason to play with your craft supplies, this hop is for you! The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

Cute as a Bug Suite is my favorite new product in the new Mini Catalog and I’m part of an International Stamp Camp that is free to demos and customers on Feb 20 & 21st. See more details further down in the post.

I fussy cut a scene from the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper (DSP) and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here I used the Sweet Bugs dies and cut individual images from the same DSP, created a scene and popped these up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. For a third card, I plan to use the stamp set to stamp the bugs and use Stampin’ Blends or watercoloring so I can choose whatever colors I want. Three different ways to use this suite depending on how much time you want to put into the card.
