Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is the new 2024-2026 In Colors. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. I find all the bright 2024-2026 In Colors really pretty, so I had a tough time trying to figure out what kind of card I wanted to make. I …
Today is all about embossing. In fact, this Hot Air Balloon card is embossed three different ways! I made this card for April’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge and it was shared by them yesterday. For our challenge, we were to show a project using our favorite technique. Since I like to emboss, this card came together rather easily. I couldn’t just do one kind of embossing though, I had to share my love of embossing …
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is See How My Garden Grows. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. Since I live in Arizona, my garden only grows desert plants. A lot of them bloom pretty flowers, but they are no where near the beauty of the magnolia. …
For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday sketch challenge, I have made a sympathy card with the Lovely & Sweet stamp bundle. I love doing sketch challenges because the layout is already done for me, all I had to do was add my own touches. To achieve that I created my base layers with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, and the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty paper. Next, the focal point was made by stamping the floral image (from …
Happy Thursday! Today I have a card made with Stippled Roses in Calypso Coral. I had originally made this card for a TGIF challenge and was supposed to post it last week. However, since I was too busy preparing for and attending Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Houston, I wasn’t able to get it done. So, I am sharing it today.😀 Before I get into the details of the card, I wanted to share a little …
For a Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge, I have a Cheerful Daisies Meets Planted Paradise card. Once a month, I participate in a card challenge for Stampin’ Fancy Friday. This month we were challenged to make something in the color blue. Well, I love the color blue, so this one was right up my alley. I also love to pair a couple of stamp sets together, so I had a lot of fun creating this one! …

Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Happy Thursday! Today we are going to be Wishing Big with the Hot Air Balloon bundle. I have had the Hot Air Balloon suite for some time, so I thought I better start using it. I’m really not sure why I waited either, it is a lot of fun! I especially love the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. They remind me of the old embellishments (candy dots) that Stampin’ Up! used to carry, the kind that matched …
