Pals Blog Hop: CASE-ing the Annual Catalog!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is CASE the Catalog. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love to use the catalog as a source of inspiration and ideas. CASE-ing SU!’s artisans can take a lot of the work out of it. You just have to sit back and enjoy the crafting part! My treat bag comes from inspiration found on p. 115 at the top. The 2023–2025 IN COLOR TREAT BAGS come in all five of the new In Colors.

I chose a Boho Blue bag, and an entirely different set of dies for my CASE: the Paper Florist Dies. The possibilities are endless as you create all kinds of flowers using different combinations of the die pieces. Here’s my project:

I used a variety of colors to build my bouquet: Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Garden Green, and Granny Apple Green. I used a variety of the dies to create my flowers and leaves, with the Fresh Freesia larger flower as the star of the show. I like putting the flowers down first, and then fitting the leaves around the flowers.

I adhered the flowers and leaves with glue dots, and white glue — it’s very much whichever you prefer! Because these flowers can be quite “3D,” a treat bag like this can really work, because you have your gift already wrapped, so no need for an envelope! The flowers can stick up as much as you want!

The Paper Florist Dies are so amazing — look at all the fun shapes you can use to build your flowers! And the multiple petals on some dies make it actually very quick.

I used the Boho Blue 3/8″ Texture Ribbon (it comes in all the new In Colors!) to wrap the bag and tie a bow. I finished off with some Adhesive Backed Solid Gems!

I hope you enjoyed my project today. All the supplies can be found below our Blog Hop Team Links. A simple click will have you shopping for these delightful dies with me!

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month (always the second Wednesday each month), when our theme will be “Punch Your Art Out.” Until then, have fun in your craft space!
