Hi Stampers, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team is showcasing “Gifts From the Garden.” 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.
My card for the “from the garden” pals blog hop features the Jar of Flowers bundle. I chose to feature two of our new in-colors: Bumblebee for the card base and Cinnamon Cider for the next layer. It only seemed right to stamp onto Very Vanilla with Memento Black ink and color with the Stampin’ Blends.
Before I could stamp the flowers, I needed to cut the hole for the jar. I inserted the punch from he bottom, pushed it all the way up and centered it. To give the appearance of water, I stamped the detailed jar onto a scrap of Seaside Spray in Seaside Spray ink. Next, I stamped the stems in Old Olive ink and colored with the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. After punching the jar, I peeled off the adhesive cover and pressed the shaker dome into the hole and added a few seed beads. I then peeled off the backing on the other side of the dome and added the Seaside Spray I had stamped and colored. The Very Vanilla layer is than adhered to the card using stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the card is another layer of Very Vanilla CS. I stamped “Thanks!” in the center and the flowers in the lower right corner using Memento Black ink. The flowers were then colored using the Stampin’ Blends.

Hi Stampers. Welcome back to the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop. I fell out of the loop awhile ago, but I’m back this month helping to showcase the 2020-2022 In-Colors.
Using a Basic Gray cardbase, I showcased the new in-colors by using a 3/4″ strip of each color as the background for my card. Next, I die cut these gorgeous butterflies, using the Butterfly Beauty Dies and Whisper White CS.
Stampin’ Tip: Add an adhesive sheet to the back of the Whisper White CS before die cutting and the butterflies become a sticker and are super easy to apply.
Across the front is a 1/2″ strip of Basic Gray CS. Using versamark ink and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder I embossed a sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set. This strip was then added to the card front using stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the card is a layer of Whisper White. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment, from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Magenta Madness ink. A spare (in-colors) butterfly was attached in the lower right corner, to help it coordinate the front of the card.

Hi Stampers. Welcome back to another Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. Today we are using the June 2020 – A Box of Sunshine – kit to make alternatives to the suggested cards.
The above photo shows how the cards should look if assembled per the directions. I think they look great as is, but we were asked to make alternatives – so here are my ideas.
I mixed some of the Paper Pumpkin parts with some other Stampin’ Up! supplies from my stash.
This card uses a Basic Black card base, followed by a layer of Gold Foil and then another layer of Basic Black.
The bottom butterflies were die cut from one of the card bases in the kit, using a die from the Butterfly Beauty Dies. Over that, I have cut a layer of Gold Foil using the coordinating die from the Butterfly Beauty Dies. The sentiment is heat embossed in Gold onto a 1/2″ strip of Basic Black CS.
Inside the card, I have a layer of Gold Foil and then a layer of Whisper White CS. The black and white polka dots across the bottom are from the kit. The sentiment is also from the kit and is stamped in Bumblebee ink.
I just love the mini Paper Pumpkin boxes. This one is covered with Gold and White striped CS that was cut from the card bases in the kit.
The decorations on the box are also from the kit and the sentiment is stamped in Bumblebee ink.
For this card, I used one of the card bases from the kit and added a layer of Pool Party CS using stampin’ dimensionals. Onto the Pool Party CS, I stamped an underwater scene using the Whale Done stamp set.
Those adorable little fish are actually lemons and leaves from the kit. I hand drew the eye and mouth using a Black Stampin’ Write marker. The bubbles are sequins from the kit.
Inside the card, I stamped a few more stamps from the Whale Done stamp set and the sentiment from the kit. This card didn’t exactly come out as I envisioned, but it’s still cute.
Next months kit is gorgeous and comes with an optional add-on if you want to make it go even further! You want to hurry and subscribe by July 10th, so you don’t miss out.

Hi Stampers, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our theme is the “new 2020-2022 In Colors.” The Design Team is showcasing the new family of In Colors from the new catalog. We know you will love them as much as we do! At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I decided to keep my in-color card super simple! This card starts with a thick Whisper White card base followed by a Whisper White layer.
To decorate that top Whisper White layer, I used a 1/2″ strip of each of the new in-color CS adhered diagonally across the bottom right corner.
After adhering the 1/2″ strips of the new in-color CS to the layer, I cut off the overhanging excess with paper snips. The sentiment (from A Grand Kid) was stamped in Misty Midnight ink in the upper left corner. A few 2020-2021 In-Color adhesive dots were added around the sentiment. One in each of the beautiful new in-colors.
For the interior of the card, I used 1/2″ strips of the in-colors are adhered to the upper left and lower right corner. The sentiment (again, from the stamp set A Grand Kid) was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to this month’s Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We are all using the May Paper Pumpkin kit – A Kit In Color. This kit has the new 2020-2022 In-colors that will appear in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog that goes live in a week!
Above photo is what came in the May 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit – below is my alternative card.
This month’s kit was very colorful – I was drawn to the striped card base that had all those bright colors! For my project, I chose to use one of my favorite folds and incorporate that striped piece of CS.
The panel on the left, has the tag from the kit – aren’t those edges cute? Then the top layers are three layers, rather than my regular two for the top layer.
Stampin’ Tip: Since the font on this stamp set was so heavy (and the stamps are new – which can make them not hold the ink well), I used the Stamparatus so that I could get that good solid impression.
Inside the card, I used a scrap of the striped layer on the left side of the layer and stamped the other bold sentiment in the middle. I used the Stamparatus for this sentiment, too. Aren’t those little epoxy shapes cute?!?!?
I was really happy with how my card came out and then paired it with one of the envelopes from the kit. Looking for even more ideas for this months paper pumpkin kit? Click the next button below to go to Charmane Hopkins blog for another alternative idea.

Hello, welcome to the Pals Blog Hop! This month our theme is “Goodbye to January-June Mini and 2019-2020 Annual Catalogs and Hello to 2020-2021 Annual Catalog” where the Design Team is showcasing their favorites from the retiring catalogs or products in the new catalog! You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Today I am sharing with you a great bundle that is retiring soon. The Honey Bee bundle was super popular and went on back order quickly, so it’s a bummer it’s leaving. I also used the layering circles to make the peek-a-boo hole and the frame. Smaller punches framed the sentiment perfectly.
I love how the layers work on this fun fold card. It has a bit of a stacked look on the top, as you can see in the photo here. The honey bees and the inside sentiment were stamped in Memento Black ink. Stampin’ Write Markers were used to ink the stamp for the flower and to color the body of the honey bees.
The honey bee hive used in the inside design shows though the peek-a-boo hole and also works great with the added elements on the inside of the card. If you need further instruction, I have provided a video tutorial with all the details below. The list of all products used (with links to my store) are also provided below.
