This is my favorite day of the month…the day for our Pals Blog Hop! WOWZERS – there are 35 energizd PALS that are showing their favorites of the new catalog…HAVE FUN HOPPING!
Welcome to the September Pals Blog Hop. This month we are showing off our favorite new products from the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. We hope you enjoy our projects!
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from stop # 5, Becky Gifford at The Social Stamper on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.
This was a tough one for me…as what is there NOT TO LIKE about this super fun catalog! I thought of the advice that my Mom would say to me….
- If you like something…do it or wear it again – advice well taken as I used this color combo on Monday's post…
- Go with your gut instinct – I can remember that when I first went through this catalog, I loved page 17 and that adorable box with this sentiment…so – why not!
The sentiment, so whimsical and fun is from the Mingle All the Way Stamp Set (how appropriately named). Look below at all of the super fun sentiments in this stamp set….truly something for every up-coming holiday!

In my opinion there are a couple of things that make this card special – here is a quick run down with pictures for you! Please remember that the products that I used for today's card are listed at the very end! Enjoy!
- It's a square card…it's totally hip to be square – a 5" square!
- LOVE the color combo, Soft Sky, Whisper White and Lost Lagoon, the complentary DSP is All is Calm….simply fun and beautiful!
- LOVE to heat emboss…I used the clear embossing powder – love the effect it gives!
- The fru-fru of embellishments – the new frosted sequins and pearls! easy – classic!
- Stampin' Dimensionsal….I DOUBLED them up with the sentiment and then single on the card base…try this – it gives a super effect!
- The Large Polka Dot Folder….what can I say but is makes me smile!
- The envelope punch board…so fast, fun and easy to make your own envelopes! I jazzed up the back flap today…now wouldn't you love to receive this card!
Keep it simple…follow your heart with the style that works for you
and you will always have a great end result and feel totally fulfilled!
Thanks for popping by today and now you need to get going….there are LOTS of inspirations ahead for you….(and me…I go and see each and everyone of my PALS posts)

I too fell in love with that same box! Your card is a perfect interpretation of it! Thank you for the inspiration!!
Awesome! Love the color combo and the execution is amazing!
I am SOOOOOO very in love with this card!!!!! It’s so tailored and beautiful! The accompanying envelope is the perfect touch to put it over the top! Gorgeous!!
Very sweet card, Susan!!
I love your card…the colors are wonderful, polka dots are cheery and this stamp set is one of my favorites! Have a great day!
Love the card Susan!
I won this stamp set at Unite and Excite and haven’t put ink to it yet. I have my inspiration for this stamp. Beautifully done Susan.
Susan, I love your square card, I should make more of them. I will CASE yours for sure!
Such a fun project with a great set. Love, love!
Awesome card. I love your work!!!!
I so love your hand stitching. I just got this set and can’t wait to use it. Great choice of colors and DSP. And, yup, Fru Fru is right. I thought nothing would replace candy dots in my heart; but, those snowflakes and pearls and rhinestones have taken over!
Thanks for sharing with us!
Love this card, Susan, especially the envelope:)
Love all the circles, Susan…starting with embossing and sentiment and moving right on to the envelope! Lots of fun!!
So cute! Your stitching is impeccable! 🙂 Love that envy, too!
Love your card and the colors!
Susan, I love the details of your card and how you show us the reasons behind your choices. I wish I could do that! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the color and the design!
Your card is wonderful, plain and simple in some ways…love your colors!!! Loving the DSP that you chose for your envelope!
Wow! Just wow! I love the colors, the polka dots and the sentiment! I wasn’t going to buy that stamp set and then at the last minute changed my mind. When I see a card like yours – I am glad I did!
Beautifully made! I’m new to heat emboss and wonder what was embossed?!
Thank You!
Hello and thanks for the comment! I love heat embossing and I highly encourage you to have fun with it!
I used the CLEAR embossing powder for the sentiment….LOVE IT!
