JULY PALS BLOG HOP




It's time for some fun in the sun with the Pals! Glad you could join us for the Pals Summer Sunshine Blog Hop! You've probably hopped over from Nina Dee's blog, I'm stop number 18 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for summer themed Stampin' Up! projects from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below and you'll be back on track




The PALS hop today is the theme of summer.  When I think of summer, I always think of flowers.  The card I created today is all about flowers.  The dahlia adornmets added the touch I was looking for!

Here are the items used for the card:
Paper:  Very vanillia, Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse cardstock and Comfort Cafe DSP
Stamp Set:  Embellished Events and Curly Cute

Punches: Ornament punch, scallop cornor and decorative label punch
Ink:  Midnight Muse, Gumball green and soft suede
Embellishments:  Dahlia adornments




                                                 Up close view of the vase


I put the "vase" through the bigshot with one of the new embossing folders in the new Stampin' Up! catalog and used a sponge dauber with champange mist on it to give it a little sparkle!



Now hop along for more inspiring ideas from Lori Martin, stop number 19 on the Pals Summer Sunshine Blog Hop! Thanks for "hopping" by!

    6. Super cute! I just wanted to also say that in reading your little blurb at the top of you blog, one would think you were just a basic, boring stamper, but you are anything but. I have enjoyed perusing your blog and have pinned tons of your work for inpiration. You are very talented and I believe, more so than some others who "do this for a living". Thanks for sharing your talents and inspiring me, and I am sure, many others!

    8. Your card has so many great elements but that corner treatment is especially clever. I have that punch and never use it. Now you have me thinking ...
