Pals Blog Hop: WOW! Video & Wildly Flowering Simple Hello Card

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is our Favorites from the New Catalog. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Today’s card relies on the beauty of the Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper (DSP). Any of the lovely patterns would work with this simple hello card layout.

The Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Love stamps were perfect for the simple “hello friend” message and the coordinating dies cropped the shapes for the layered sentiment. Watch my NEW 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial for a quick demonstration on how to layer with these stamps and shapes for a fabulous sentiment.

Use a Mini MISTI stamp tool and a Mini Sticky Mat to stamp the sentiments (Unbounded Love stamp set) in Pecan Pie Classic Ink onto the Basic White layer and Pecan Pie die-cut . Watch my 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial to see how: The Art of Layering Sentiments.

Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini)and the Unbounded Love dies to crop the Basic White layer with the 1 1/2 x 2 die and the “hello” sentiment with the 1 1/4 circle die.

Adhere the Pecan Pie layer to the coordinating Basic White layer together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
