Pals Blog Hop: Time to Sale-A-Brate!

Welcome to the Pals’ February blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here because it’s “Time to Sale-A-Brate”! Our Design Team created projects using Sale-A-Bration items to inspire you. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My card for the blog hop features something old and something new. What’s old you ask? The Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack, the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and the Springtime Impressions Thinklit Die.

The new item is the sentiment from the new Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set from the Occasions catalog. I finished off the butterfly by adding three Rhinestone Basic Jewels. This card will go to my ladies from The Birthday Club.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 13, 2019 when our Hoppin’ Pals share their “Spring Has Sprung” projects. Don’t miss the fun!

Pals Blog Hop: Anything But A Card

Welcome to the November, 2018 Blog Hop with Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Holiday cards are done. It’s time to start on gifts and gift wrap. Let the Stampin’ Pretty Pals inspire you with “Anything But A Card” today.

You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My inspiration for my project came from my puppy!  She’s a Poodle/Maltese rescue and was born blind.  She truly has no idea she’s not supposed to be able to have vision.  She lives her adorable life like any other dog.  She’s one year old and enjoys me pushing her around in the grass in a small wooden crate.  I have no idea why she likes it, but whatever makes her happy…I will do for her.

Get more inspiration using the Blog Hop Line-up below. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 12, 2018 for the next Pals Blog Hop. It will be a glitzy affair with All That Sparkles and Shines. Don’t miss the fun.

Pals Blog Hop: Wicked Folds

Welcome to the Pals October, 2018 Blog Hop. It’s a spooky time of year so watch out for “Wicked Folds” while you hop from blog to blog. We promise not to be too scary.

You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The creation of a fold should not be difficult, should not be laborious and shouldn’t take too much time (LOL). That’s my story and I’m sticking to it with my fold today.  I promise you my card is super easy peasy!  It literally has only four folds with stamping directly on the base of the card, which measures 12″ x 5-1/2″.  It is scored at 2″, 4″, 8″ and 10″.  You will see in the images below how it’s folded.

 

Easy right?  To create the heart-shaped cut out I used the heart from the Puzzle Pieces thinlits in the middle of each folder at the 2″ & 8″ folds.  To stamp the image directly in the center of the heart, I used the Stamparatus to line up the stamp and the open hearts created with the thinlits.  I did use our 12″ x 12″ cardstock and cut it at 5-1/2″,  but you can also use a 8-12″ x 11″ sheet by cutting two sheets at  5-1/2″ x 8″ and score them both at 2″ and 4″.  Then you simply glue together the 4″ sides on top of the other (overlapping it).

Now it’s time to use the Blog Hop Line-up below to see what the rest of my Pals have created to inspire you.. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 14, 2018 for the next Pals Blog Hop. November is time for “Anything But a Card” where the Pals will feature creations suitable for holiday gifting. Don’t miss the fun.
