Pals July Hop: Stampin’ Up! Three Little Pigs

Stampin up catalog button buddies pizza notecard box
It was true love when I first laid eyes on "Button Buddies" rubber stamp set–new to the Stampin' Up! 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog.

This set also landed on My Favorite Stamps List.  The bottom line?  With this set, you are just a button away from ?ber cute!

For my contribution to the Pals July Blog Hop, I introduce you to my "Three Little Pigs" (Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Rich Razzleberry). I combined the little pig from Button Buddies with the sentiments from Pennant Parade (also new).  Hop with the Stampin' Pretty Pals and I as we share projects using new goodies from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog!  Be sure to follow the list of hoppers at the end of this post and get some creative ideas for using new Stampin' Up! rubber stamps and accessories.

I created a simple pizza box to hold the 3 x 3  note cards and Mini Square Envelopes (107309).  Click to watch my Pizza Box Video Tutorial and receive the instructions for cutting and scoring.  I love little sets like this to thank a host, reward a member of my Stampin' Pretty Pals or cheer up a friend.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP:   For the scallop edge on the mini envie, I found it easiest to crop off the curved part of the flap so I would have a straight edge to adhere the border to.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP:  The flower stamp from Button Buddies coordinates perfectly with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch (119854) and 1/2" Circle Punch (119869).  This made popping out the flowers a snap!

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW HOSTESS BENEFITS PROGRAM?  Everyone's raving about it!  No more levels!  Available for on-line orders, too!  Learn more!

Here's what Tracie L. had to say:

The new hostess program is GREAT! I belonged to a Stamp Club for several years but never got above a level two, so it was always disappointing that I couldn't get the level three items. I want the large birthday set and I know that would probably have been a level three given its price so I am SUPER excited!

    7. Thanks for your sweet feedback! For the scallop edge on the mini envie, I found it easiest to crop off the curved part of the flap so I would have a straight edge to apply the border to. Hugs, M
