Love For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, we’re speaking the Language of Love! If you’re craving inspiration and a good excuse to break out your favorite craft supplies, you’re in the right place. This hop is all about sharing the love through handmade cards and paper crafts, and the Pals can’t wait to inspire you with beautiful creations made using Stampin’ Up! products.

This is made with love as well as for someone I love! I think this is a double z fold card but I got the idea/specs from my friend and fellow Pal, Brian King! He created a card in beautiful shades of orange but I went with my fav color-Purple! Fresh Freesia to be precise! I have a base in white card stock cut 4.25" by 11" and scored on long side at 2.75" and 5.5".  For the inside, I have a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock cut at 4" by 5.25" plus I added the next white fold cut at 3.5" by 8.25" and scored at 3.5" on the long side. The front of this fold, I have used Lovely & Beautiful DSP cut in a 3.5" square. 

The front fold has another DSP print and then a strip of Fresh Freesia card stock cut 1.75" by 3.75". I cut a gold foil circle with the Stylish Shapes dies and then cut two white flowers from the Simply Beautiful dies. I blended them both with Fresh Freesia ink but one lighter than the other with my blending brush. I cut a gold foil center then stamped the sentiment from the Banner Sayings set in Fresh Freesia ink on a white banner punched from the Triple Banner punch. I finished with some pink pearlized faceted gems.    

Keep the inspiration going! Follow the lineup below to hop from blog to blog and soak up every lovely, heart-filled idea along the way. And don’t stop there! Next month we’re celebrating all things Birthday Celebrations, and it’s going to be a party you won’t want to miss. Be sure to mark your calendar and hop along with us!
