Welcome to the July 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re having a Pattern Party! Hoppers will feature projects using their favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and coordinating embellishments. After all, color coordination is a Stampin’ Up! strength.
Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
Polka dots are one of my favorite patterns. They are always fresh, modern and typically a great scale for card making. I chose this luscious combination of Dapper Denim and Tranquil Tide polka dots from Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper for today’s hop and “pattern party!”
I love hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Kiss. Kiss. I adore the look of white on white. The clean style reminds me of fine stationery. I layered Whisper White over a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Thick Whisper White card base.
- The sentiment is from Special Celebrations Stamp Set. It’s offers a variety of striking fonts and multi-occasion messages.

- Yum! The 3/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Dapper Denim adds a coordinating bit of pizzazz. I tied the bow independently and adhered it to the straight piece so that it would emulate a gift. See my “reveal” video
- Bling! The perfect embellishment is the sparkling heart (Dapper Denim) from the 2016 – 2018 In Color Glitter Acrylic Shapes. I used the Stampin’ Up! Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere it.

Fun seeing your card, knowing you’re hopping in Thailand!
Beautiful card Mary!
I’m so sorry about the links . . . they should be working now. We tried a new way to set up the blog hop line-up and there were issues. Appreciate your patience!
The master of clean & simple. And that bow is perfectly tied!
Beautiful, clean, and simple with a little bling! Love it!
I love your white on white with the polka dots!
DARLING little birthday card. Favorite part…..That ADORABLE little bling heart.
I love the juxtaposition of the clean, straight stripes of the bow against the more subtle polka dots. I love all your work! You are such an inspiration!
Awesome as always Mary!
Hi Mary – hope you are having a wonderful trip! I look forward to your first Wednesday’s for some great ideas. However today, I could not get into most of the blogs – very disappointing.
