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.
