Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is CASE the Catalogue. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
CASE- Copy And Share Everything
I am so happy to be able to Hop along with the Pals this month!! Sorry for my absence but hockey has taken over my life the last few months…. I consider myself a professional “CASE”er. So, CASEing the catalogue was a Hop I did not want to miss! I found my inspiration on page 18 of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue. I wanted to mix it up by using brighter colours (Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel, Bubble Bath & Parakeet Party).
Step by Step Tutorial
– Begin with a 5 ½ x 8 ½ card base of Basic White thick cardstock; scored at the 4 ¼ using a Paper Trimmer
– Use the Paper Trimmer to cut
Brights 6×6 DSP (Azure Afternoon to 4 ¼ x 5 ½
Blueberry Bushel cardstock to 3 ¼ x 4 ¼
Basic White cardstock to 2 ¾ x 4
– On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the balloon image from the Beautiful Balloon stamp set using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel, Bubble Bath & Parakeet Party inks.
– On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set using Parakeet Party ink.
– Run the stamped balloons through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Beautiful Balloon dies.
– Run the stamped sentiment through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Sentiment Silhouette dies.
– Adhere the Azure Afternoon DSP to the card base using Tombow liquid glue.
– On the 2 ¾ x 4 piece of Basic white cardstock, use Stampin’ Write markers to “flick” the ink on using Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel, Bubble Bath & Parakeet Party; then adhere to the Blueberry Bushel cardstock. Adhere the layered cardstock to the card base using dimensionals.
– Glue the die cut balloons using Tombow glue & dimensionals. I hand drew the balloon strings using a black Stampin’ Write marker.
– Adhere the sentiment using dimensionals.
– Cut a piece of white Bakers Twine (Essentials Pack) & colour with the dark Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends. Tie into a bow & adhere with a mini glue dot.
– For the bling, I used several Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels
– To dress up the envelope, glue Bright & Beautiful DSP to the flap of the envelope then fussy cut it.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are very excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month (always the second Wednesday each month), when our theme will be “Punch Your Art Out”.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
