Pals Blog Hop - Projects from the Garden

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “Wonderful Cards/Projects from the Garden” where our design team showcase projects from things found in a garden, such as flowers, vegetables, fruits, or even a garden scene. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. Once you finish here, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I am not sure why, but Plentiful Plants reminds me of the plant cuttings that my grandmother used to grow!  I really like the Slimline type card and it is so easy to make.  

The cutting/scoring measurements for this card are:

CARD BASE (Soft Succulent Card Stock) Cut - 7¾" x 9¼"; Scored on long edge at 3⅞"

LAYER #1 (Basic Black Card Stock) Cut - 3⅝" x 9"

LAYER #2 (Basic White Card Stock) Cut - 3⅜" x 8¾"

Lots of dimension was used for this project - I had fun arranging the plants!

I used just about everything in my arsenal of goodies, including embossing powder for the sentiment.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team, because the Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on August 11th. Our theme will be “My Happiest Season” when our Design Team creates a project showcase projects inspired by their favorite season of the year. Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Pals Blog Hop - Birthday Bonanza

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created “Birthday Bonanza” projects to inspire you to make for all of your family and friends. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments because we all love hearing from you! At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I cannot express how much I love the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set Bundles!  They just make me giggle - especially the crazy one with the crazy hair!

Lots of dimension in my card today - thanks to mini dimensionals, regular sized dimensionals and dimensional sheets.

Due to the various dimensions in my card, I am choosing to use the clear envelope with a piece of cardstock inside for addressing purposes.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 10th when our theme will be “Cute Critters” where the design team will be sharing projects that will feature critters of all sorts to inspire you. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.

Two for Tuesday - Hot Chocolate Bomb Box

 

While I won't be posting 2 different projects for Tuesday, I am posting 2 of the same but with different colors.  I made yummy Hot Chocolate Bombs for my nieces, nephews, my own children, daughter-in-law and son's significant other for Valentine's Day.  I had to figure out packaging, of course!

I CASE'd the idea from Stamping and Sipping with T with a couple of modifications.  Super easy project and the bombs fit perfectly!

Not that it really matters, but the boys will receive the real red boxes and the gals will receive the blushing bride boxes.

To share how easy it was to make the box, I am including a simple and short video for you.

Well, I better get cracking as I have 7 more boxes to make!
