Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team is showcasing “My Happiest Season.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We 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 find beauty in all of the seasons, and perhaps my favorite is the one that we happen to be in when you ask! But Fall ~ who can deny that the Fall colors aren’t the prettiest of all? I love the fact that in Fall the summer heat is behind us and the crisp cool air is so refreshing. One thing on my bucket list is to visit New England in the Fall to experience the color!
I’m showing Celebration Tidings today. This is a fun set that includes Halloween, Thankgiving, Christmas, & Valentine’s Day. You get lots of bang for your buck when you buy sets like this.
Celebration Tidings Stamp Set, #153456
To begin with, I texturized a 5-1/4″x 4″ piece of So Saffron with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Then I cut and glued the largest of the Layering Ovals Dies with Plaid Tidings DSP to the center. I stamped and colored the images onto Whisper White and cut it out with a label die from Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
Next, I punched ribbon grooves out on either end of the label and threaded Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim through them. Dimensionals hold the label down and Seal Adhesive anchors the ribbon ends on the back.
On the inside, I ran a 1/4″ strip of the same DSP across the bottom and stamped another image from Celebration Tidings.
This photo gives you a better idea of the texture from the Embossing Folder. Holiday Rhinestones give the front a bit of sparkle. And of course, the DSP on the envelope flap ties it all together.
Ready For More?
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 September 9th when our theme is “It’s the Sentiment that Counts.” The Design Team will showcase a sentiment as the focal point of their project. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.
