Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! While the COVID 19 pandemic is adding stress to our lives, we Pals hope this blog hop will help to lift your spirits. Let us inspire you to take a creative break and relax for a little while. This month our theme is “Special Occasions” where we have made a project for just about any occasion you can think of! You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
This cute card starts with a Petal Pink card base, followed by a layer of Pool Party CS and then a layer of So Saffron CS. I stamped the flowers onto the So Saffron layer using So Saffron ink. Before adhering the So Saffron layer, I punched 3 1-1/2″ holes for the critters from the Welcome Easter stamp set to pop out of.
The Welcome Easter critters were stamped on to Whisper White CS and colored with the Stampin’ Blends. I then cut them out using my Brother Scan n Cut machine and inserted one in each hole of the So Saffron layer. The So Saffron layer was then added to the card front. For the sentiment, I stamped Happy Easter (from the Welcome Easter stamp set) in Tuxedo black ink onto a strip of Whisper White CS. The end was flagged using the Banner Triple Punch, sponged Pool Party ink on the edges, wrapped baker’s twine on the end and then adhered to card front using stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the card, I continued with the Welcome Easter stamp set and stamped the sentiment, the bees and the chick in Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored the bees and the chick with Stampin’ Blends. Those little critters are just too cute!
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 Wednesday, May 13th, when we will say “Goodbye to January Mini and 2019 Annual Catalog and/or Hello to 2020 Annual Catalog.” The Design Team will showcase their favorites from the retiring catalogs or new products from the new catalog.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “Birthday Bash”. If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Katja Ettig’s blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Kim Quade’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.
Here are the projects I created for this month’s hop using the Peaceful Poppies Suite from Stampin’ Up!
I made a birthday card with coordinating envelope and decorated a tiny treat box full of Hershey Kisses.
To begin, I adhered a layer of Peaceful Poppies DSP to my Real Red card base. I then die cut a Real Red and a Whisper White layer using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The only stamping I did on the front of the card was the speckles behind my poppies. That stamp is from the coordinating Painted Poppies stamp set.
My focal point was die cut using the Poppy Moments Dies. The poppies were die cut from Real Red, Poppy Parade and Basic Black CS. The leaves are die cut from Old Olive and Mossy Meadow CS. The are adhered together with liquid glue and then adhered to card with a mix of liquid glue and stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the card I used a layer of Whisper White CS. I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday” in Poppy Parade ink and adhered a 3/4″ strip of DSP to the bottom of the layer – to make it match the rest of my project.
As a small gift to go with my card, I used on of our Tiny Treat Boxes and filled it with Hershey Kisses. I wrapped a 1-3/4″ strip of DSP all the way around the box and adhered with snail adhesive. Some Whisper White ribbon wrapped around it like a gift finishes off my look. I hope you like it and give it a try yourself.

Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because it’s “Time to Sale-A-Brate”! We’re showcasing our favorite new products from 2020 Sale-A-Bration brochure. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
My project is a birthday card using the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set (level 1 SAB gift), Lily Pad Dies (level 2 SAB gift) and the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper (level 1 SAB gift). <— Did you catch all that? Three FREE items! A stamp set, dies AND DSP – all for FREE! I just love FREE stuff! All this FREE stuff coordinates to make a BEAUTIFUL fancy fold birthday card. I don’t know the name of this fold – the card base uses a dutch fold but then there is an inner card, too. I had saved a photo of a card folded like this a while back – it’s not watermarked and I can’t find it again – go figure, right!?!
I had no instructions, so I had to kind of “wing it”. The Coastal Cabana dutch fold card base was easy – That’s 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 2-1/8″ from each side and then folded to meet in the middle in the front. Next I cut the DSP to 5-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ and die cut a circle from the center, cut it in half down the center and attached each half to the sides in the front. I repeated that process and adhered to the inside of the card front – so both sides of the “flaps” are covered. Then I took a slightly smaller circle and cut out the 1/2 circle from each end of the card base – so now I had my hole from outside to inside of card.
The inside of the card has a smaller card. This Bermuda Bay card base is 5″ x 7-1/2″, scored at 3-3/4″. This card is layered in DSP 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″. Don’t you just LOVE that DSP – flowers on one side and then semi plain on the back. I made a banner of a 2″ strip of Blushing Bride and a 1-1/2″ strip of DSP. I stamped the sentiment on Whisper White (from the Peaceful Moments stamp set) in Bermuda Bay ink. This was then punched out using the 2″ circle punch and backed with a piece of Coastal Cabana CS punched out with the 2-1/4″ circle punch. These were attached to the card so that it was centered in the hole cut in the front.
I stamped a few lilies and a few leaves, die cut them using the Lily Dies and colored them with Stampin’ Blends and tucked them in under the circles. A few additional die cuts from the Lily Dies are attached inside the flaps. Inside the second card is a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ layer of Whisper White that was stamped with a sentiment (also from the Peaceful Moments stamp set) in Bermuda Bay ink and a 1/2″ strip of DSP was adhered across the bottom of this layer.
To finish off the card, I wrapped a ribbon around the closed card (adhered it with a few glue dots) and tied a bow in the front. I’m pretty happy with how it came out. I hope you are, too. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “Layer It Up” – showcasing our favorite Designer Series Paper and embellishments. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Recently I saw a great 6″ x 6″ One Sheet Wonder template used by fellow Stampin’ Up! demo – Megan Daves. I used it to do a FB live video where I made this adorable birthday cards and tag. You can view that FB live video by CLICKING HERE.
These cards were made using the Pressed Petals DSP, Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow and Rococo Rose cardstock. I just love that our DSP lists all the colors used in it, so we can easily coordinate with perfectly matched CS.
Rococo Rose CS die cut using the Delicate Lace Dies to give a fancy edge that went great with the beautiful DSP.
The layering ovals dies and Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set made for great focal points for these cards. A cute little bow using the braided linen ribbon gives it the final touch.
I couldn’t let that last little piece go to waste. It was perfect for making this cute little tag. This would work great on the gift to go with the birthday card.
Here is the template I used:

Hi Stampers. Today we are sharing with you, alternative ideas for the October 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit – Winter Woods. It’s a beautiful kit and next month coordinates with it!
The original design was almost too pretty to make alternatives, so I made it very similar, but a fancy fold easel card.
My card props up for display – since it is so pretty, it can be a Christmas decoration as well as a card!
The label with the sentiment on it, is popped up on dimensionals to hold the card open.
I love how the front has the 3D effect with those trees. I saved the negative of the trees, there is plenty of room in the middle to die cut more things out of that gorgeous shimmer white!
