Welcome to the December Pals Blog Hop! For the final Blog Hop of 2010 we are featuring Birthday themed projects. I am stop number 1 along the hop today and will help guide you along the rest of the hop from the Stampin' Pretty Pals. Today's card is a sneak peak for products from the Occasions Mini Catalog coming up on January 4, 2011.
A co-worker of mine wanted a really simple birthday card. I used the new Build a Blossom stamp set along with the Blossom Petals Punch (NEW on January 4, 2011) to create a gorgeous looking flower.
- PAPER: Crumb Cake, Perfect Plum, and Whisper White Card Stock.
- INK: Perfect Plum and Daffodil Delight
- STAMPS: A Word for You and Build a Blossom (NEW on 1/4/2011).
- TOOLS: Blossom Petals Punch (NEW on 1/4/2011), Modern Label Extra- Large Punch and Scallop Trim Border.
Thanks for hopping by - continue along the hop to Barbara Chatzkel, who is stop number 2. Or, follow along the Pals Hop Line-Up below.
