Pals March Blog Hop: Cute Critters!

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Cute Critters” – showcasing their card/project with adorable animals, birds, or insects for any occasion. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The Springtime Joy stamp set is the CUTEST! These little critters are irresistible, in my book, so I had to snatch it up from the January-June Mini Catalog! Perfect for spring, Easter, even new baby! My project today is a simple gift box idea using the Mini Pizza Boxes from the 2020-21 Annual Catalog.

I created a bellyband by starting with a 2″ strip from one of the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Papers, which I attached to itself with Tear & Tape. I made sure the band could slip from around the box without difficulty. I used all our shades of purple to create this cute little bunny standing in a bouquet of flowers.

I stamped the cute bunny in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White cardstock, and then cut it using one of the Stitched Shapes Dies. Using some blends (colors below in my product list), I ‘fancied’ her up a bit with some color accents.

I used my current favorite dies from the January-June Mini Catalog – the Pierced Blooms Dies – and cut various flowers in Soft Seafoam, Highland Heather, and Gorgeous Grape, along with some leaves in Old Olive. It’s difficult to tell from the photo, but these Dies make the cutest stitched flowers that you can layer in so many combinations. They’re total keepers!

Using Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots, I built a bunch of flowers around the bunny. I toped it off with a ribbon bow, and added three Pastel Pearls to the small flowers in front. Done! Aren’t these stamps adorable? A simple way to create a darling little treat box for a loved one — for Easter, a spring occasion, or even a new baby gift card!

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on April 14th when our theme is “Great Family Occasions” when our Design Team creates a project for any special occasion. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft space.

I cannot WAIT to see your projects!

Happy Birthday! Pals February Blog Hop!

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created “Birthday Bonanza” projects to inspire you to make for all of your family and friends. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments because we all love hearing from you! At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

One of my goals this last year has been to send more birthday cards. I have fun going through the birthdays of my friends in my address book and on Facebook, and sending handcrafted cards in the mail. I made a Creative Swing Card, the instructions of which I gleaned from a video at Connie Stewart’s Simply Simple Stamping. HERE is the link for the video she presents. This card is a really fun creative fold, where the inside sentiment, located on the Stitched Nested Label die, ‘flips’ when you open the card.

I started with a 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″ card base, scored on the long side at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″. I really wanted to feature the beautiful papers of the Fine Arts Floral Designer Series papers. I cut three panels of Designer Series Paper, according to the measurements below. The trickiest part of the card is accomplished using a Stitched Nested Die, but only cutting HALF of the die into your cardstock. A picture is worth a thousand words, they say, so just take a look at Connie’s video! It’s really easy!

The back of the Stitched Nesting Die sentiment area has its own stamping area when the card is opened:

Here are the measurements in a nutshell:

Base – 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 2 ⅛” and 4 ¼”

Panels (stamped cardstock or Designer Paper) -1 ⅞” x 5 ¼” and 4″ x 5 ¼”

Basic White – 5 ½” x 8 ½” – cut Stitched Labels dies

To decorate my cards, I used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a panel of scrap cardstock, and then punched out some butterflies with my Butterfly Duet punch. I went over the butterflies with Wink of Stella to give them a nice sparkle, although it’s hard to tell from the photograph.

Such a fun fold to try — I highly recommend it! Who wouldn’t want a BIRTHDAY HUG in the mail using these beautiful Stampin’ Up! products?

I created a ‘sister’ card with a spring theme, using a sentiment from the Springtime Joy stamp set. These papers are so luscious – it’s easy to just keep on making cards!

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 10th when our theme will be “Cute Critters” where the design team will be sharing projects that will feature critters of all sorts to inspire you. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.

A Calendar for Katie!

Every year, I create 5 X 7 panels for my daughter Katie’s desk. It started with a Stampin’ Up! kit a number of years ago, one that included an easel for the desktop, so replacing the panels is something I look forward to each year.

I purchased a calendar from Taylored Expressions, and decorated each panel with some old, some new…I had a ton of fun! I’d love to share the panels with you!

Aren’t they fun?? I would invite you to try your own calendar — click on the link above to buy your template and start creating. I’ve included some of the main Stampin’ Up! Products that I used below — just click on the link to start shopping with me!

Don’t forget about Sale-A-Bration, going on now through the month of February. For every $50 you spend, you’ll be able to choose FREE products. HERE is the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Need new catalogs? I’d love to send them to you! Just email me HERE!
