Welcome to the Stampinâ Pretty Palsâ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is âCASE the Catalogueâ so the Design Team chose a card from the new Annual Catalogue & 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 âhopâ along from Pal to Pal.
When I heard what the June theme was going to be, I was excited to dig into the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue to find the sample I would CASE (Copy And Share Everything). For those who follow me on Instagram, you know I love to CASE samples! After flagging too many samples in the Annual Catalogue, I finally settled down on the 3 x 3 sample found on page 12. I love making 3 x 3 cards, they are quick, easy & fun! With this sample in mind, I used it as a template for my cards. I have a a few bonus samples to show you how easy it is to mix it up.
Step by Step Tutorial
â Begin with a 6âł x 3âł card base of thick Basic White card stock; scored at 3âł using a Paper Trimmer
â Use a Paper Trimmer to cut
Sahara Sand card stock to 2 ž x 2 ž
Happy Forest Friends DSP to 2 ž x 1 Ÿ
â On a scrap piece of Basic White card stock, stamp the owl from the Happier Than Happy stamp set using Early Espresso ink
â Run the stamped owl through a Stampinâ Cut & Emboss Machine using the coordinating Happy Forest dies
â Adhere the Happy Forest Friends DSP strip to the Sahara Sand card stock using adhesive of choice (I used Tombow); aligning it towards the bottom.
â Adhere the Saraha Sand card stock to the card base using adhesive of choice (again I used Tombow)
â Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso; I used a sentiment from the new Nature’s Prints stamp set
â Adhere the die cut owl to the card front using Dimensionals
â I went back & forth about adding additional bling but decided to leave it clean & simple. But you could easily add a subtle accessory.
â For the final touch, adhere a scrap piece of Happy Forest Friends DSP to an envelope flap using adhesive of choice (Tombow) then fussy cut it.
Below are a few other samples following the same template.
I created a subtle background using Versamark ink on Sahara Sand card stock
I used the Nature’s Prints stamp set & coordinating Sun Prints DSP. The sentiment is from the Happier Than Happy stamp set.

Welcome to the Stampinâ Pretty Palsâ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is New 2022-2024 In Colours. We really hope that you will be 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 âhopâ along from Pal to Pal.
OMG the new In Colours are amazing! I love each & every one of them. There was something familiar about them that I could not put my finger on until I started to photograph the samples for this blog post. Three of the colours are the colours of our new local NHL team, the Seattle Kraken! I hope you love the new In Colours as much as I do.
For my featured sample(s), I decided to go with simple 3″ x 3″ cards featuring each In Colour. Although the colours compliment each other & work well together, I wanted to show off each colour on its own. 3 x 3 cards are great to have on hand for a quick thank you or to send some cheer to help brighten someones day.
Step by Step Tutorial
â Begin with a 6″ x 3″ card base of thick Basic White card stock; scored at the 3″ using a Paper Trimmer
â Run the cardbase through a Stampinâ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Stripes & Splatter 3D embossing folder (EF). Use the black line on the EF to help line up the card base. You only need to emboss the front of the card.
â Run a scrap piece of 2022-2024 In Colour 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper through a Stampinâ Cut & Emboss Machine using the swirling circle die in the Painted Labels die set. So happy this set carried, again!
â On a scrap piece of Basic White card stock, stamp the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in the coordinating ink
â Run the stamped sentiment through a Stampinâ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Sytlish Shapes circle die
â Adhere the stamped sentiment using Stampin’ Seal to the swirly circle. When gluing onto glitter paper, I like to use a stronger glue like the Stampin’ Seal.
â Adhere the swirly circle to the card base using dimensionals to give it a subtle pop off the card
â Add some “bling” using the new 2022-2024 In Colour Matte Decorative Dots
â For the final touch, adhere a scrap piece of 2022-2024 In Colour 6″ x 6″ Designers Series Paper (DSP) to an envelope flap using adhesive of choice (Tombow) then fussy cut.

This month, the theme is Fabulous Flowers. We really hope that you will be 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 âhopâ along from Pal to Pal.
For anyone who knows me, knows I love love love flowers! I don’t do manicures or pedicures. But, I will buy fresh flowers every week when I cannot grow them myself. Stampin’ Up! does a wondeful job providing many flower options in all their catalogues. I had a hard time narrowing it down to which stamp set I would use. I decided to use the Welcoming Window bundle. It is currently on the retiring list & is available until May 2nd, 2022 or until it is sold out. I love the simpicity of the set & how well it coordinates with so many other Stampin’ Up! products.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the blog post to see my runner up options.
