Create Your Own Background
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.

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
