Great Family Occassions Blog Hop

Hello, and welcome to the Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hop! This month our Design Team's theme is "Great Family Occasions". 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.

With our theme of family occasions, I decided to create a Mother's Day card using one of my favorite stamp sets from the January - June 2021 Catalog: the retiring Pretty Perennials Bundle.

Of course, I couldn't help but showcase some of the new 2021-2023 In Colors: Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent.

I paired my flowers with the retiring gold embossed piece of DSP from the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP and added die cut accents from the Floral Heart Dies.

I love, love the banner die in the Floral Heart Dies. After die cutting my Mother's Day sentiment with it, I snipped off the ends to create a smaller curved and stitched sentiment for my focal area.

And of course a matching envelopes is always a fun thing to add to your crafty project! :)

A bow from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack and a little dragonfly from the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle with a few Polished Pink 2021-2023 In Color Jewels add the final touch to my Mother's Day project.

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 May 12th when our theme is "2021-2023 New In Colors" when your Design Team creates a project with the new family of In Colors for any occasion. Don't miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your crafty space.

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

Happy Sunday! Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :) I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps! The Impressions a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set. Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in! And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom . For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo! I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge. For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears . This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous. For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
