A Beautiful Floral Birthday For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Birthday Celebrations.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

Yes, a beautiful display of florals in my fav color purple for the birthday theme hop today! 

I am using the Thankful Garden bundle as well as the matching decorative masks. First, the layers are a Fresh Freesia base with a layer of Distressed Gold paper, a piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock and a piece of the Beautiful Bokeh DSP in Fresh Freesia. I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals set in VeraMark ink on a piece of the same DSP and heat embossed with the gold embossing powder and heat tool. I cut it out with the Unbounded Love dies and use the same die with the gold paper for the frame. I cut the leaves in Granny Apple Green card stock from the Thankful Garden dies. 

The Thankful Garden decorative masks were used to create the floral images as well as the stamp set. I blended the ink on a white piece of card stock using the masks and my blending brushes. I used Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green inks. I then stamped the image outline over in VersaMark ink and heat embossed in gold embossing powder. I then cut them with the matching dies. I added the Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon and some gold adhesive-backed sparkle gems to finish it off. 

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing for “The Male Room” theme, where we’ll be making cards for the men in our lives.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

A Little Textured Note

 

More Textured Notes bundle and Woven Textures DSP today! I have a Pecan Pie base and a layer of Woven Textures DSP plus a piece of Pecan Pie card stock ran through the Mini Corrugated emboss folder after cut with the Textured Notes dies. I also cut another print of the paper to go behind my sentiment. I cut a Basic Beige rectangle with the same dies and stamped the leaves from the Textured notes set in Shaded Spruce ink.

Happy Rockin' Birthday!

 

My son's 27th birthday is today and he is a rocker! He does not play the instruments but loves his rock music! Plus his fav color is RED! So I pulled out the Enjoy The Rhythm set and stamped the drum set and music notes on the white Stitched Rectangle die in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored the drums with my Stampin Blends markers in Smoky Slate and Real Red. I popped it on the Rock & Roll DSP and a piece of Real Red card stock and a white base. I cut the guitars out of the Rock & Roll DSP and colored with the same markers. 

Wishing my baby a wonderful and blessed birthday!

The Best Textured

 

I am loving the new Textured Notes bundle as well as the Woven Textures DSP. I have a Basic Beige base and a layer of Pecan Pie card stock before adding my Woven Textures DSP with the linen print I stamped on for the background. I thought the linen print would look great stamped with the leaf image from the Textured Notes set in Pecan Pie ink to make a background. I then cut a Basic Beige Textured Notes die to add more leaves in Mossy Meadow ink. I then stamped the circle weave image in Pecan Pie ink and cut with the Deckled Circles die. I ran my Mini Corrugated emboss folder though with a strip of Mossy Meadow card stock to pop behind my sentiment stamped in Mossy ink and cut with the Textured Notes dies. I finished it off with a Mossy Meadow twine double bow and some Neutral Matte dots in Pecan Pie.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Seriously The Best Texture

 

I am playing again with the Botanical Textures suite. It is a new online exclusive with two packs of DSP and cool dies! I am doing a little casing of SU! with my card today. I have a white base and a piece of the Botanical Textures DSP with another piece of DSP called Woven Textures DSP cut with the Textured Notes dies. I then cut a piece of another print of the Woven Textures DSP to place under my sentiment. The sentiment is stamped on white card stock with the Textured Notes stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink and cut with the Textured Notes dies. I added a linen thread bow behind them. I stamped the leaves twice from the Textured Notes set- once in Pretty Peacock ink and again in Lost Lagoon ink. I then hand snipped them out and blended some Lost Lagoon ink over them. I also stamped the basket circle in Pecan Pie ink on white card stock and cut it out with the Deckled circles dies. I finished off with some Neutral Matte Dots in Basic Beige. 

It is a busy but cool textured card!

Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Lovely Garden

 

I love blue and green together so this was a great card to design! I have a black base and a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock with a piece of the Lovely Garden DSP. I used my blending brush with Shy Shamrock ink to blend the otherwise black and white print. I then cut a black piece with the Textured Notes dies. I used my Thankful Garden decorative masks to blend Blueberry Bushel and Shy Shamrock inks on a piece of white card stock with my blending brushes. I then stamped the image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink over the top. I cut it out with the matching dies and popped it on the black die. I stamped the sentiment from the Ocean Friends stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink on a Mixed Labels die. I finished it with some Shy Shamrock sparkle gems. 

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

PP727 A Spring Garden With Love

 

I am playing along with Claire's theme challenge for spring flowers this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com and I am using the new online exclusive suite called Lovely Garden. I have a white base and cut three pieces of the Lovely Garden DSP with the Textured Notes dies to make a background. I used the Thankful Garden decorative masks to blend colors of Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo and Shy Shamrock inks with my blending brushes. After I finished with the masks, I stamped the outline image from the Thankful Garden stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink over the top before cutting it out with the matching dies. I popped it up on my background and added some white starburst sequins. 

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink on a piece of Basic Black card stock from the same stamp set and heat embossed in white powder. I cut it out with the Mixed Labels dies and looped some Pretty In Pink ribbon behind it. 

I hope you can play along and do not miss getting this suite!

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday With Thankful Garden

 

I am playing with those Thankful Garden decorative masks again today as well as the Lovely Garden suite. I have a white base and a layer of the Lovely Garden DSP plus i cut a panel of white with the Textured Notes dies. I wrapped my Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon around with a bow. I then lined up my masks on a piece of white card stock and added the Fresh freesia and the Garden Green inks with my blending brushes. All 5 masks are numbered and so easy to use/clean. I then stamped the sentiment from the Simply Say stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and snipped it out to pop on my floral image. I finished with some rainbow adhesive-backed dots in Fresh Freesia. 

Have a lovely week and thanks for stopping by!

Petunia Florals

I wanted to use more of the Bloom Impressions DSP plus the Starstruck embossing folder both free with SAB orders til Friday the 28th(tomorrow). I have a Petunia Pop base and another layer ran through with the Starstruck folder. I then cut a strip of the DSP before popping the Spotlight On Nature white circle die.

This month’s theme is “The Language of Love.” We hope our creations inspire you today! The lineup at the end of my post will help guide you to all the Pals participating today.

For today's blog hop, I designed two cards- One for my daughter and one for my son who both hold my heart!

I then cut the Moody Mauve heart die from the Heart Shaped dies plus some flowers in Petal Pink, white and Flirty Flamingo card stock. I added a Flirty Flamingo twine bow. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Flirty Flamingo ink on the white banner. 

One the blue card, I used the same set, dies and DSP. I used Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, and Basic Beige card stocks. I used Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight inks. I finished with a linen thread bow.

A Floral Blessing

 

I do not know the name of this fun fold so I will call it a tuxedo fold! I got the idea from my friend and fellow demo Brian King over at stampwithbrian.com  I have a white base cut 5 1/2" by 11". I scored on the long side at 3 3/4" and 8". I cut the corners to make the shape on both side. I cut then a piece of the SAB free DSP called Bloom Impressions at 3 1/4" by 5 1/2" and after adding to the right panel I snipped away the top and bottom edges. I then stamped the floral image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored with my Stampin Blends in Fresh Fressia, Granny Apple Green, Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight. I cut it out with the matching dies. I also cut the white Stylish Shape circle and the Fresh Freesia Spotlight On Nature detailed circle die. I stamped in Black ink the sentiment from the unbounded Love stamp set. I finished off with some free SAB sequin called Purple adhesive-basked sequin in Fresh Freesia. 

Hope you have a blessed weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PP723 My Heart

 

I thought I would use the Heart Shaped bundle again for Ann's theme challenge of Love Is In The Air this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  This time I wanted to layer the two die cut hearts in a butterfly kind of shape. I did cut the white card stock background and stamped the heart from the stamp set in Bubble Bath ink a few times and then layered the two Real Red die cuts on top plus some Bubble Bath flowers. I have Real Red rhinestones in the centers. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink on a Bubble Bath label cut from same dies. I added some Real Red card stock to the white piece and layered on the Lighter Than Air DSP piece in Bubble Bath and the white base. 

Hope you have a beautiful week and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Spring In A Teacup

 

I am really liking the Basic Beige card stock from SU!   Here I have a base and another piece of that card stock ran through the Eyelet embossing folder. I cut the frame from Storybook Friends dies as well in Beige and for the center piece I blended some Pretty In Pink ink with my blending brush. I used the sweet cupped mouse which is already cut from the Storybook Moments DSP in the center and added flowers and leaves cut from the Heart Shaped dies and Country flowers dies in Pretty In Pink, Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive card stocks. I stamped the sentiment from the Storybook Friends set in Pecan Pie ink on a Beige label cut with the Unbounded Love dies and a few antique pearls finished it off. 

Wishing you a beautiful week and thanks for stopping by!

Easter Greetings

 

I was determined to use these two Meer cat looking friends from the Storybook Moments DSP pre cut pack. I also used the piece that looks like ground behind their feet. I have a Old Olive base and a piece of the Timeless Plaid DSP cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies. I then cut a white die with them also to blend some Old Olive ink to the bottom with my blending brush. The top have a lightly blended some Crumb Cake ink and then used the stone brick wall stamp from the Storybook Friends set stamped off in Crumb Cake. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Old Olive ink on the Basic Beige label cut from the Mixed labels dies. These two characters seemed to be dressed for Easter Sunday! 

I finished off with some antique pearls. Yes, I think I will need to buy more of the pearls! Love them!

Have a sweet weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Bunny

This is my favorite card that I have made with the Storybook Friends collection! I have a white base and a piece of Balmy Blue card stock with a layer of the Timeless Plaid DSP on top. I then used my Stitched Rectangle dies to cut a Balmy Blue and a white one. On the white, I blended both Balmy Blue and Old Olive inks with my blending brushes for the background. I then added the fence and butterfly precut from the DSP called Storybook Moments and I cut with the matching dies the two bunnies from another piece of that DSP. I then stamped the sentiment from the Storybook friends set in Balmy Blue ink on the white label cut from the Mixed Labels dies. I finished off wit the antique pearls. 

Hope you have a fab day and thanks for stopping by!
