July Pals Hop: How Does Your Garden Grow?

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team is showcasing “Gifts From the Garden.” 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.

   

   Hello Friends! I think of my desktop as a garden right now...lots of new stamps and new ideas, and even new colors with the reveal of the 2020-2022 In Colors last month! My first card uses the new Misty Moonlight blues and Bumblebee yellow. You can also see the blues I used above in the desktop photo: Night of Navy, Pacific Point, and Misty Moonlight. They all go together so well--exactly what we love about Stampin' Up! design! Some Grape, Mango, and Melon also make for a fun bouquet combination. I love experimenting with a new set and putting it through its paces with a "Qual Eval." [Check back for a video on how I do this! I'm in the process of moving my studio/set up and will be up and running anew in a couple of weeks!]

   Next up is a red, white, and blue beauty in honor of my friend Patty down at God's Cove in Maine. [not it's real name...just what we like to call it:)] These are her favorite colors no matter what time of year it is.

   I had so much fun applying some navy inked pattern from the new Pattern Play set to the thicker of the Many Layered Blossoms die cuts. I first stamped a pattern on some white cardstock, then cut out the base of this design. It will be beautiful in so many color combinations! Just love the retro feel of these die cuts--like vintage tablecloth linens. 

   Leave me a comment with color combo suggestions and I'll pick one at random and make something fun to share!

   In the meantime, may your gardens grow some lovely things--whether they are flower, vegetable, or paper:) Be well Friends!
