CASE the Catalog with Blessings of Home for the Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “CASE the Catalog” so the Design Team chose a card from the new Annual Catalog and has CASEd it with their own creative twist. We really hope that you are inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I have chosen to CASE the Blessings of Home card on page 168 of the 2022-2023 annual catalog. I love all the dimension that the card has. The subtleness of the Flirty Flamingo peeking out in the bottom right corner is really what drew me in.

My only problem with making that card is that I didn’t have the new Split Card Textures dies that make that corner oh so pretty (yet). So instead, I improvised and used what I do have; the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks.

The masks, combined with some embossing paste and a drop of ink, get pretty close. I am very happy with the result and enjoyed the challenge of having to improvise.

Now, on to making the card.

To make the card

• Begin with a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Petal Pink cardstock, score and fold at 4 1/4″ to form your card base.
• With a ruler, mark the top edge of a 3″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Petal Pink cardstock at the 2″ mark. Place it on your Paper Trimmer and cut from that 2″ mark diagonally to the lower left corner.

• Apply a tiny bit of Stampin’ SEAL to the larger piece that you just cut and place on the right side of your Silicone Craft Sheet. (hint- the Stampin’ SEAL will hold it in place but release easy from the silicone.)
• Cover the piece with one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and secure in place with some removable tape.

• Scoop a small bit of Embossing Paste on to the left side of the Silicone Craft Sheet and mix in one drop of Flirty Flamingo ink.
• Mix well with your Palette Knife and spread evenly over the mask.

• Remove the mask, rinse well, and let the embossed piece dry.

Time to stamp

• Stamp your flower image on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Shaded Spruce ink and your sentiment on a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock using Stazon Jet Black ink.
• Using your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, crop the following: your sentiment with the 2nd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies, the flower and six leaves in Mint Macaron cardstock from the Flowers of Hope dies.

• Adhere the flower to the sentiment, overlapping the right side, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (MLG). (hint- lay your pieces on the front of the card, without adhering, to ensure that both pieces will fit when glued together.)

• Attach three leaves each to the top and bottom of the flowers as shown with MLG.

• Carefully remove your embossed piece from the Silicone Mat and adhere it to the front of the card using MLG. (hint- to clean your Silicone Craft Sheet, just peel the dried paste off.)

• Cut a 15 1/2″ piece of Natural Finish ribbon, trim the ends diagonally, and adhere to the front of the card using Stampin’ SEAL.

• Adhere the flowers and sentiment to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

• Attach five Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels as shown.
• FOR AN ADDED TOUCH: Add a piece of matching Subtles designer series paper (DSP) to the envelope flap. Glue a 2 1/2″ x 6″ piece to the outside of the envelope and trim off the excess with your Paper Snips.

Before you go

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on July 13th. Our theme will be “Create Your Own Background” when our Design Team creates a background using any technique they wish, such as stencils, stamping, watercolor, embossing but not DSP.

Until then, have fun in your craft space!
