Create Your Own Background

Beth July 13, 2022 9 Comments

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Create Your Own Background. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

To create a unique background, I used the new Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder and smooshed white Stampin’ Craft Ink over the top. My ink pad is fairly dry, so it worked well with this technique. I had so much fun making the Polished Pink card, I made the card again with both Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party. The non traditional colors seem to work well for this card. Which color is your favorite? The little silver stars are made with Silver Foil and the 3 star die in the Sale-A-Bration Tree Lot dies.

I have a live video showing how to make this card here with measurements and directions.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on August 10th. Our theme will be Seasons’ Greetings, where we will showcase projects inspired by our favorite seasonal time of the year.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

More wedding photos are coming out each day. These two love each other so much! Sean & Amy live in Austin, TX and the wedding was in Houston. It was truly so much fun! Sean is our oldest of four and first to get married. 🙂

Please join me and 12 very talented Demonstrator Friends from the Creativity Abounds Design Team for our 5th Stamp Camp on July 22 and July 23  We’re featuring the Hues of Happiness Suite in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog. This Stamp Camp is open to both customers and demonstrators. Deadline to join the stamp camp is Wednesday, June 13th.

Here’s a testimonial from Linda D, a Stampin’ Up demo who signs up with me to do all the quarterly Stamp Camps. “There are several reasons why I love Stamp Camp. In no particular order: quality of the projects, the global perspective, tips and techniques that are shared in the live videos, the fact that I can go back later to the Facebook group, a scheduled event to stamp and to support you. I look forward to joining you and Steve on Tuesday nights. It is just the right blend of stamping and life! You are the best!” – Linda D

Here’s what you need to purchase- The Hues of Happiness Product Collection ( #158828)– includes the Happiness Abounds Bundle (stamp set and dies), Designer Series Paper, Glossy Dots and an **Add on to the Suite Silver Edged Cotton ribbon (item # 159193) Order here. You’ll receive the Make and Takes* for 12-13 projects and an awesome PDF and YouTube videos for each of the projects for your reference all free of charge.
Access to an exclusive FB group where additional LIVE presentations will be held during the two day weekend (you can watch later, as well)!

* Please Note the following:

1. The Card stock will be prepped and ready for you and any of the die-cutting done that is not using your bundle.
2. You will provide your own ink and adhesive and will use the Designer Series Paper, **Ribbon and Dots  from your purchased suite.
3. Your kit will include card stock for you to stamp on, but you will do the die cutting.

I hope you join in the fun with us! This is such a beautiful product suite and you are going to love how versatile it is!
Registration is OPEN now and ENDS July 13. Don’t miss out!

If you already have the Suite, no worries, you can substitute anything for it, but need to purchase $77.50 prior to shipping and taxes and get the card kits and stamp camp free of charge.
