Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “My Happiest Season”. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. My favorite season is a close tie between summer and fall. I love the beach, swimming, flip flops, etc., but the fall is so pretty, especially in New England where I live. The leaves are just gorgeous!! So, I made one for each season. Then I showed my son two cards to choose from for fall (first two). He and I picked a different one, so I've posted both. Please let me know your favorite!! The first is on a Crumb Cake base, embossed with the Bark folder. I used my Blender Brushes with Rich Razzleberry, Mango Melody, and Bumblebee. Then I stamped the trees from Welcoming Woods (Holiday mini catalog). I mounted it on Rich Razzleberry, added a tag from Tailor Made Tags, and tied some Linen Thread on it. For this one, I started with a Mango Melody base, used Blending Brushes in Rich Razzleberry, Mango Melody, Bumblebee, and Crumb Cake. The sentiment is from Welcoming Woods and it was cut with Stitched So Sweetly dies. For my summer card, I chose Pale Papaya for the base and Flirty Flamingo for the panel. Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya were my blending colors, with a bit of Crumb Cake on the ground. This sentiment piece is from the Pierced Bloom Dies and I tucked a piece of Fine Art ribbon under it. If you zoom, you might see the Wink of Stella that is spattered over it. More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on September 8th. Our theme will be “Focus on the Sentiment” when our Design Team creates a project showcasing a sentiment as the focal point of their project. Until then, have fun in your craft space.
