"My Happiest Season" - August Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hop

Good Morning Fellow Stampers ~

We've arrived!!!  It's the 2nd Wednesday of August - Already!!!  We're in the Dog Days of Summer here in Colorado.  Seems like a good time to be inside in the cool, playing with wonderful new products!!

It's time to play with the Stampin' Pretty Pals!  This month the Stampin' Pretty Pals are showcasing "My Happiest Season."  Or what I like to call "my Favorite season" !!  I know my regular followers already know what that is . . . Let's see if the rest of you can guess.  😉😉

You may be starting the hop here or you may be hopping over from Melissa Seplowitz at The Stamping Ninja.    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.

Autumn in all its splendour is my favorite and happiest time of year!  I love the change of the season, the cooling nights, the smell of the air, the beautiful leaves.

So much to look forward to!

And what better way to celebrate than another one of our beautiful new autumn sets from the 2020 August - December "mini" catalog!  (I say "mini" with some humor as the size of this catalog is beyond a "mini" - LOL)

This card and pizza gift box are perfect to bring to a friend this coming season.

 

I love this stamp set -- and I adore that we have a coordinating die set to cut it out perfectly for us!!

I colored the gorgeous image with an array of Stampin' Blends.

Then layered it (popped with dimensionals) with a strip of the new Embroidered Ribbon and foil die cut outs of additional wheat stalks.

 

How easy is this!!  The brand new Gold Cards & Envelopes make a fast and easy card base, with incredible foil accents around the outside edge.  You should see the luscious envelopes!!  They will make the perfect card bases for your Christmas cards this year too!!

 

The Gold Foil Pizza boxes are perfect to create a lovely coordinated gift set with the card.

Create a belly band with the new Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper with it's gorgeous gold foil accents - and you're set to go!!

 

I used the Detailed Bands Dies, cut from a piece of Vellum, and attached to a piece of the Embroidered Ribbon that's part of the belly band, to create a pretty backdrop for the fussy cut sentiment.  Some additional foil die cut wheat stalks add the coordinating touch that ties this box with the card.

I hope you had fun with today's projects.  There are so many wonderful new products to play with -- I don't know if there are enough hours in the day!!  LOL

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, which will be Wednesday, September 9th when our theme will be “It's the Sentiment that Counts.”  Look for sentiments to be the focal point of the Teams' designs.  Don’t miss the fun!

Until Next Time . .  Puppy Hugs, . . .
