Hibiscus Smiles For Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Flowers in Bloom.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the Pals’ blogs are at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

The Happy Hibiscus bundle is a fav and as you can see above, I have lots of inspiration with my hibiscus bushes blooming! I decided to use two new in colors-Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling as well as the Shy Shamrock in color from 2024-26. I stamped my flowers in the two new in colors after stamping the outline in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped lots of leaves in same black and Shamrock inks. I cut them with the matching dies. I popped them on the white Textured Notes die stamped with the sentiment from the Hibiscus set in Strawberry Slush ink. I used 2024-26 in color DSP on the layers for a tropical background as well as a layer of Strawberry card stock and a white base. I also cut out extra flowers in Strawberry Slush card stock and added some Shy Shamrock dots on the centers.  

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 with the “New In Colors” to showcase how beautiful and versatile they are for your projects.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Ahoy!

 

I am using the new bundle called Sunrise Sailing which goes live next Tuesday May 6th with the Online Exclusives. I have the new in color called Secret Sea as a base and then a layer of white card stock plus a layer of Balmy Blue ran through the matching embossing folder. I stamped the boat in Secret Sea ink on white card stock and cut it out with the matching dies. I also cut two white clouds with those dies and blending a little Balmy Blue ink with my blending brushes. I cut a Stylish Shapes white circle and stamped the bird in Secret Sea ink three times. Finally, I stamped in the same color the sentiment on a Stylish Shapes white banner. 

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