DEB STAMPS LIFE

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Winter Wonderland . We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. How's Life Friends? Hoping this hop finds you cozy [or cooling off from the sun on the beach down under?!] and enjoying the inspiration for the last Pals Hop of the year! I have to admit that my mojo wasn't as forthcoming this year for my season's greetings cards. When I find this is happening, I have several go-to's for a boost. This year I found ideas in some beautiful DSP! I looked through my Mini Catalog paper stash and settled on using a piece from the Sentimental Christmas collection. It was fun to design some different shapes to utilize the 12" x 12" paper. I love the Lost Lagoon, and Pretty Peacock shades, and I added some diecut snowflakes to highlight the printed one in the ba...

Pals Hop: 2024-2026 In Colors

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is the new 2024-2026 In Colors. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. How's Life Friends? Today's project showcases four of the five new In Colors on a lovely background of one the 2023-2025 In Colors, Pebbled Path. The sentiment is from the Sentimental Park stamp set that also coordinates with the Petal Park Builder punch;) I've used a couple of fun new products besides the In Colors in today's project with one of my favorite ways to add interest in cards: great texture! This Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is large enough to do a slimline panel! (Note: I trimmed the edges down to have the base card showing through all around, but I could have left the full width of the embossing layer at 8.5") I echoed the dots in the background with the fun Rainbow Adh...

Pals Blog Hop: Random Acts of Kindness

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Random Acts of Kindness. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. How's Life Friends? RAKs are my one weakness...[see Larkrise to Candleford;)] Not only do I get to create, I put love and well wishes into the craftsmanship of my project to give away. I like to have fun cards on hand with me to leave somewhere, or to give a server, or provider when I go my appointments. People love to get a gift, and in places like Japan it's a whole part of the culture! What a lovely world it would be if we all gave gifts everywhere we went. And a smile is a gift too—or a chat, a grin across the room, a raised brow/head nod "I see you" in the grocery line. Look up from your phone once in a while and give your attention to a stranger. It can make yo...

Pals Blog Hop: My Summer Vacation

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Summer Vacation. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. How's Life Friends? Thanks for hopping by today in this last month of summer! Perhaps you've taken a flight to vacation? or maybe, like us, you stayed put and enjoyed your own home surroundings?! Yellowstone is in my back yard and it was mostly a smoke free season in our neck of the woods. The firefighters are still very busy though, and planes figure prominently in that battle. I chose to highlight Adventurous Sky Bundle and the beautiful coordinating Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper [which is now on sale at 15% off!] I love the sheet in the package that has the preprinted tags to cut easily with a paper trimmer, and I'm making a bunch of cards using these beautifully ready-to-go elements!...

Pals Blog Hop: Orange Theory

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Orange Theory. We hope to inspire you with our creations using the color orange today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal. How's Life Friends? I admit I had sooooooo many ideas for this theme! It really was difficult to narrow it down, but I had lots of fun prototyping and I decided on a series of notecards I can use for any occasion or to pen a note to friends. I need to up my snail mail game again. Got busy with life and Mama Grand's Daycare:) Here's an orange theory photo from our recent extended family outing to the local fall festival: Since blue and orange are complementary colors I thought I'd start with a pair of cards in these hues. You see them in the grand's shirt, and I was able to find just the right matching ones in the Stampin' Up!® color stable: Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Pumpkin Pie, ...
