Good Morning Fellow Stampers ~
We've arrived at the 2nd Wednesday of March!! We've been having a taste of Spring here in Colorado; but the warnings of snow on the way next week are in the air . . . 😉😉
It's time to play with the Stampin' Pretty Pals and I'm really excited about our "Critter Cards" theme this month!! To celebrate this special milestone, many of the design team members are offering “Mystery Blog Candy” of their choice to 1 lucky winner. To play along, just leave a comment on as many blog posts as desired. A random winner will be announced on a subsequent blog post by each participating design team member.
You may be starting the hop here or you may be hopping over from Amanda Merrill at Inkflair. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. When you're done perusing today's project, you’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move or “hop” along your way from Pal-to-Pal. You'll notice a date following each bloggers name in the Hop List; this is the date when each blogger first joined the Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hop; and will tell you how long some of us have been around!! LOL
We have lots of wonderful "critters" to choose from among our product line. So making a choice for today's design was a little difficult; but in the end I settled on an adorable set I haven't gotten a chance to play with yet ~~ straight from our Annual Catalog ~~ called Back On Your Feet. Cuteness abounds in this stamp set; and it's perfect for all those "get well/feel better soon" occasions!!
I created a "flip fold" card for this design.
I cut Mint Macaron cardstock, 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". Then I scored down the long side (8-1/2" side) at 2-1/2" and at 6-1/2".
Then I layered out with Very Vanilla, Garden Green & Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP.
What I love about this pattern in this designer series paper collection is the "tropical leaf" feel that gives the perfect backdrop for our sad little sloth!
Our little sloth was stamped with Early Espresso classic ink on Shimmery White cardstock - and die cut with our fabulous Stitched so Sweetly dies.
Mr. Sloth is colored with Soft Suede Stampin' Blends; and I shaded around our sloth with Light Mint Macaron, giving that nice background shading and color.
I shaded around the sentiment in the same fashion; which really gives it a cool look!
The paper I used on the inside of the card is from the Garden Lane DSP; which has this fabulous leaf pattern which I thought was the perfect accent to offset the outside of the card
Join me for the "Mystery Blog Candy" giveaway as we celebrate Ten Fabulous Years of Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hopping!
I'll be choosing a winner from the comments left on today's Blog Post -- and will announce the winner for my giveaway during my "Fabulous Friday Fun" blog post!!
So leave a comment about today's project; and check back on Friday to see if you've won, when I reveal the "mystery blog candy". It will be fun, I promise!!
