Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Great Family Occasions.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
My card features a SNEAK PEEK of the Pansy Petals Suite Collection, as well as the 2021-2023 New In Color Fresh Freesia, from the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog that begins on May 4, 2021!
It also says goodbye to a RETIRING stamp set that was a staple in my craft room! Snag it before it’s gone! Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set is only available thru May 3, 2021 or while supplies last.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Basic White card stock.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to crop a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock with the Scalloped Contours Die.
Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to 3 1/4 x 4 5/8.
Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Seal.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to crop a piece of Basic White card stock with the 2 5/8 x 4 Stitched Rectangle Die.
Wrap with a piece of Blackberry Bliss 3/8″ Striped Ribbon, securing with a bow as shown.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine along with the coordinating Pansy Dies to crop the images from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.
Layer and adhere as shown with Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment (Itty Bitty Greetings) in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, set with a Heat Tool.
Crop with the Potted Succulent die.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut the edge of the sentiment die as shown.
Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Seal.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Add 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to the center of the pansies and card as shown.
PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 piece of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. Trim to size with Paper Snips.
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!

Mary,
What a beautiful card. It’s just stunning. I can’t wait for the Pansy Petals Suite Collection to arrive!
A question though, the stitches in the white card stock look like they match the Fresh Fressia paper. Is that just the shading from the camera or what? I’m new to stamping so I’m trying to figure everything out.
Thanks so much.
Hi Patricia,
The stitching did take on some color from the camera, it is not that color on the card itself.
You are very observant! Please let me know if I can assist you further. Have a fabulous day! Mary
Wowza, Mary! This is an absolute stunner!
I love everything about your card today Mary!
Beautiful combination of retiring and new products.
