Pals Holiday Catalog Blog Hop!


Glad you could join us for some holiday crafting with the Stampin' Pretty Pals! You've probably hopped over from Sherrie Gross at Stampin Sunshine! I'm stop number thirty, the final stop on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for Stampin' Up! projects featuring the new Holiday Catalog! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop line-up at the bottom of this post and you'll be back on track.



My card today features the gorgeous new Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and one of the leaves from the new Wonderfall stamp set. You may know that I am a sucker for all things faux bois and I've become quite partial to typeset as well. It seems like all the items on page 33 of the new Holiday Catalog were made just for me! I literally gasped when I saw the page! :)

I knew that I wanted a card with these two main elements, but the card really began to evolve as I was thumbing through some of my DSP. I came across this gorgeous print in Rich Razzleberry from the International Bazaar DSP and I knew that I wanted a nice piece of it across my card. Everything else just seemed to fall in place from there... I added a piece of Baja Breeze DSP and my sentiment stamped from the Just Believe set. Then I attached my leaf, stamped in Basic Gray ink on Whisper White card stock. I added a quick little flower made with the Floral Fusion Sizzlits die and the Boho Blossoms punch and tucked in some Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon. I like the extra touch of Rich Razzleberry on my card.

Now hop along for more inspiring ideas starting with Lynn Hoyt at Cattail Designs, stop number one on the Pals Holiday Catalog Blog Hop! Thanks for "hopping" by!
