Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is “CASE the Catalog” so the Design Team chose a card from the new Annual Catalog and 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 “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
My choice for the CASE the Catalog was on page 66 of the Annual Catalog. This card features the True Beauty Bundle. Having the matching dies, Organic Beauty, for this stamp set is awesome.
The Bundle
Having this many pieces in the middle of a card is quite different than my normal ones. However in CASEing the catalog, my inspiration was a mix of the framed piece and the green card. Both had layers of flowers. Thankfully the die set makes cutting out the stamped flowers a piece of cake. Plus it was just as easy to add a few of the pieces by simply cutting them out of colored cardstock. And the surprising favorite is the lattice looking background piece.
You may remember a card from last week which had this same lattice look. The piece is large so by cutting it in half, I was able to make two cards from the one die cut.
Paper
The bright and beautiful colors of the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper were where the color choices came from. This piece is actually what would probably be considered the “back” side of one of the roses pieces of the DSP. But these are “Happy” flowers, so they became the star. Sweet Sorbet has grown on me quickly and earned the starring role of this card. Of course the Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight always pop as well as being in the floral paper.
Punches and Embellishments
It took some looking through products to decide on how to showcase the sentiment with all of the flower layers. Finally one of my favorite punches won the place of honor. It is the Double Oval Punch. This punch gets used fairly often both together or one of the two used singly. The scalloped edging adds a bit more texture, like more was really necessary, to the card. And to finish this one, I added a few of the Fun Flower Resin Shapes. These were not on my immediate order list. But I am so happy to have them. They almost match the flowers on the paper perfectly!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on July 13th. Our theme will be “Create Your Own Background” when our Design Team creates a background using any technique they wish, such as stencils, stamping, watercolor, embossing but not DSP.
Until then, have fun in your craft space!
