Thank you for joining us for the March Pals Blog Hop! Today the Stampin'
Pretty Pals are excited to share new ideas and projects to get you ready for
spring.
You should have just left stop number 18 on the Pals Hop – Kim Czenszak at Live Love Stamp. If so, you are in the right spot.
If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along
from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.
I am so excited for today…as this is my 1st Pals Hop and I am very happy with my card! (wish the photography was better – but please click on the image to see it better)…the center stage of my card came from the Lovely Letters Alphabet! I have been wanting to use this stamp set for so long so OUT IT CAME for today's fun event!
You simply need to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig…it is a GREAT tool – just DIVE in and use it – it will become your best friend! Below you will see a photo of how I did it…Using a piece of whisper white card stock and use a little bit of adhesive to keep it on place – I went working inside out…I stamped my letters in Daffodil Delight! Doesn't this color make you smile…yellow is such a happy color!
I knew in the back of my head that I wanted to really "showcase" the word "EASTER" then I knew framing it with Garden Green would be a POP factor!…the rest came natural – I am in love with the Sale-A-Bration Bloomin' Marvelous Stamp Set ( hurry-hurry…March 22nd will be here before you know it!!!!!) I stamped it…then stamped it off to make the image a bit lighter! Naturally a flower needs a little bling in the middle…and as we all know – "Pearls are classic, Pearls are clean…we all love them"…so out came the Pearl Basic Jewels to do the finish touch!
There are lots of things that make me smile….and one is the polka dot paper! Smiling to simple things like this is something that we all need to do – Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper surely gives this card that special WOW and FUN factor! I just love this paper and all of the fun colors it comes it!
Have you ever been in the middle of a card that something spilled on your work area? Well this happened to me below and I thought – I can fix it…..I simple put a piece of ribbon over my boo-boo and did the Susan knot ( remember…..I am bow challenged!!!!) and voila, looks great! The ribbon I used it the simple to use Taffeta Ribbon….love it – comes in soooo many colors!
If you are used to following my blog, you know I always do 2 things with each and every card…use Stampin' Dimensionals and always line my envelopes! As always….DONE! I used the Brights Designer Series Paper to line my custom envelope!
Next you are probably saying…..how did I make this odd shape envelope? Easy-peasy cause' we have sooooo many
talented PALS that are always so generous in sharing their works…tips
& techniques! Fellow Stampin' Pal, Mike Funk does simply amazing
work ( I look forward to meeting him one day in person – I just love his
style)…please go and check out his blog, stampin-style.
I remember that he had a super great video on how to make an odd size
envelope…I know – there are many out there…but this one is
bingo-bango!!! Click here to check it out!
Did you see what I did to the outside of the envelope? I had to do a little finale for the closure…I used the Blossom Punch and then used the 1 3/4 Scallop Circle Punch stamped with the flower image! Isn't it super cute! Please email me and let me know how you like it….but WAIT…..you need to read on to be able to win some BLOG CANDY!!!!

It’s perfect), love your envelope,- oh I LOVE your entire project!!! But you maybe guessed that already.

There are undoubtedly loads of details like that to take into consideration. Which is a terrific point to bring up. I present the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly you’ll find questions like the one you bring up where essentially the most critical thing are going to be working in honest superior faith. I don?t know if most effective practices have emerged around things like that, but I am positive that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls really feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
