Stampin' Pretty PALS Blog Hop - July 2024

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by!  Today is the Stampin' Pretty PALS Blog Hop and our theme is: My Favorites from the Catalog.

I had a difficult time deciding which new Stampin' Up set to use for this hop, I have quite a few favorites from the new 2024 Catalog.  I've decided to showcase the new "Magnolia Mood" set, along with designer series papers from the Nature's Sweetness 12x12 paper pack. 

For my card, I've used the Magnolia Mood Bundle, which includes the stamp set and coordinating dies.  I love the details of the stamped images, they have a vintage vibe to me, and of course I adore Magnolias.

Included in the die set are extra leaf dies, which I've cut from kraft, tan and gold mirror card.  The floral image as been colored using alcohol markers and cut using the coordinating die.  

I wanted to keep the flowers as light as possible and went with a bolder leaf color, I'm happy with the contrast.  Also, the designer series paper (DSP) used to ground the focal image has gold splatters, which are printed on the papers, so no need to add splatter manually, love that too since I'm a huge fan of splatters.

I've kept the inside simple, only stamping a smaller magnolia at the bottom left corner.  I've left the card without an inside sentiment, once I decide what occasion I will need this card for, then I will stamp a sentiment.

There’s more inspiration to show you, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Please mark your calendars for the blog hop next month (August 14th), when our theme will be My Summer Vacation.  You can find the list of products I've used today, complete with item numbers, at the end of this post. 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
