Welcome to the Stampin' Pretty Pals Spring Blog Hop! This month we're featuring fabulous Easter and Spring projects to inspire you! You've likely hopped over from stop number 5, Martha Stewart's Seasons of Stamping Blog. I'm stop number 6 on the PALS HOP and am glad you hopped in! The next stop on the hop (number 7) is Joanna Munster's Inspired by Stampin' Blog.
The complete list of 13 hoppers and blog hoppin' path are at the bottom of this post!
Are you game for a simple 3-D box and a new video to teach you how to create it? How about little Easter-inspired punch art? I had so much fun playing with paper and punches to come up with my bunnies and chick. Plus, I'll introduce a new stamp from the Stampin' Up! 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog–so keep reading.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP: The Petal Card Double Punch (119273) cuts and scores. For best results, press the circle on top of the punch (not the end of the lever). I'll demonstrate this tip and how to create the box in my video tutorial:
A special thanks to Stampin' Up! demonstrators Amanda Harbison and Beth McAlexander for their ideas and inspiration for the Petal Card Box.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP: The Basic Black Square is 1" x 1".
