Pals Blog Hop {Birthday}

Welcome to the December Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hop!  It has been quite a while since I've crafted or even posted on my blog and feels good to be doing it again!!!  This month the Stampin' Pretty Pals are featuring Birthday Themed projects using Stampin' Up! product.  I hope you enjoy what the Pals have featured during this hop!!

If you have hopped on over from Kylie Nicolosi's Kylie's Crafty Corner blog I am stop number 5 along the hop.  Hopefully I will be able to keep you along the hopping trail but if not, at the end of this post you can see all who are participating.  Below is the card I made for this months Hop.  I need a really simple yet girly birthday card for a little girl.  I wanted to keep it simple in design and product and I think I was able to do just that while still creating a cute little card.

I love making cards in non-traditional shapes.  This card fits perfectly into an A2 sized envelope but it's not the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" size card. 

Thank you for stopping by!!!  Hop along for more inspiring ideas from Angela Richwine at Stampin' Away with Angela.

PPA116 {Birthday Sketch}

This week on the Pals Paper Arts challenge we have another lovely sketch design created by one of the Stampin' Pretty Pals Margaret Moody.  I love sketch challenges - they really help taking the guess work out of what you create.  All you need to figure out are the colors and what stamps to use :o)  Join Pals Paper Arts this week and show us what you can create.

For my card I used Pocketful of Posies Designer Series Paper.  The great thing about Stampin' Up!s DSP is that it coordinates with their card stock and other accessories - like Baja Breeze Seam Binding.  I LOVE the Not so Seriously stamp set and couldn't wait to use as soon as I saw it in the catalog!

PAPER:  Baja Breeze, Confetti White, and Pocketful of Posies DSP

STAMP:  No so Seriously

INK:  Jet Black Stazon, Baja Breeze Marker, and Night of Navy

ACCESSORIES:  Baja Breeze 1/2" Seam Binding
