Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, our blog hop theme is Party Time! We hope you will be inspired by all the beautiful creations the Pals made for you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
WHAT I LOVE! What could look more sophisticated than Night of Navy and Whisper White on this Lovely in Linen card? And don’t miss the sweet stitched border details created with the Stitched in Whimsy Dies.
TIP: I adore the little things that bring this card together. The Night of Navy Enamel Dot Essentials, Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon and the Lovely in Linen Designer Series Paper make the coordinating magic happen!
