Along These Lines Puppy

Stampin Up Along These Lines New Puppy Congrats card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more fun fold and 3-D gift ideas at  https://stampingmom.com/along-these-lines-puppy/

Along These Lines stamp set paired with the Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Hearts of Elegance for the sentiment makes a great congratulations card for a friend with a new puppy! I love the sentiment for this card, because if you’ve ever had a new pup, you know it doesn’t take long until they have your heart!

Please see all the products I used to make this card at the bottom of the post.

Measurements & Details

  • Along These Lines stamp set
  • Hearts of Elegance- sentiment
  • Cute As Can Bee DSP
  • 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Petunia Pop CS
  • 4″ x 10″ DSP scored at 1″ and 4-3/4″
  • 3-3/4″ x 5″ Petunia Pop stamp heart and pup and fussy cut the top

This week’s Festive Friday Design Team’s challenge #FF0186 is World Pet Memorial Day.

Pet Memorial Day still pulls my heart strings because I miss my best two pups ever, Maya & Molly.

My sweet pups Maya & Molly lived 13 and 15 years. They were sisters two years apart and Bichon-Shih Tzu mixes, or teddy bear dogs.  They were soft and cuddly, just like a teddy bear.  They both spent their lives loving Steve and I and our four kids and working as therapy dogs in memory care and elderly assisted living every Wednesday. They retired when Covid began. Maya always wore a red harness so the people we visited could tell her apart from her sister, Molly, who always wore purple.  Maya would convince each person she sat with that they were her best friend. Molly loved everyone as long as I didn’t leave her side. Molly and I were tightly bonded. I know many of you are grieving the pups you dearly loved.

Instead of making a Pet Memorial card, I decided it would be fun to celebrate a friend who just got a new puppy!

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about World Pet Memorial Day-at all! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used animals, pay prints, and animal themed sentiment.

Impressions Abloom Fun Fold

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Flowers in Bloom.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the Pals’ blogs are at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

I want to showcase my favorite new flowers from the Floral Impressions Suite Collection. I love this suite because of the beautiful bright color Designer Series Paper (DSP), embossed flowers, the oval dies and more! I’d love to hear what your favorite new products are. Here’s card #1 using only products in the Floral Impressions Suite Collection and the coordinating cardstock. The “flower sets” are floating on a window sheet.

I made the card a second time using different colors and the same DSP. The flowers and flower centers are cut from the DSP on card #2. Which color combination is your favorite?

This is how I first made card #1, without the extra “flower sets” coming out of the “flower box.” In the video I show how to make the card to this point. The next day I decided to add the “flower sets” on window sheets shown below. I adhered one flower set behind both sides of the “flower box.” Do you like the cards better with or without the added “flower sets?”

Here’s what I used to make the flower sets.

  • Window Sheet (2) 3/4″ x 4-1/4″
  • The flowers, stems and leaves are all from the Impressions Abloom dies shown here in Garden Green CS, Fresh Freesia CS and Blackberry Bliss CS.

Here’s a video showing how to make this card. Please join us for our weekly live video on Tuesdays at 7pm CT. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel here so you get notified each week when I’m live.

I enjoy growing flowers in real life too! It’s fun to have something new blooming each week. My Dianthus started blooming this weekend. I love having bright & happy flowers in my garden and on my homemade cards!

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing with the “New In Colors” to showcase how beautiful and versatile they are for your projects.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.
