Stampin' Pretty Pals August Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals’ August Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “Special Occasions”, cards or projects that adds beauty to the special occasions we all love to make cards for!  You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

For this Impossible Card I used the Dino Days stamp set and coordinating suite of products.  With the mango melody base I added some foil paper accents along with the Dinoroar ds paper.  Then for a little more of a jungle feel I added some foil punched leaves and the die cut reeds.  You may spy a new item I used from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog called the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder.  I used it to give that broken shell some added dimension.

The sentiment is punched using the Timeless Label Punch.  Then I added a few enamel shapes for a finishing touch.  To make your very own Impossible Card you can download the PDF instructions by clicking HERE

Kylie's August International Highlight

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  I am joining a group that is being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci and you are able to VOTE for my project. The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop so please vote for my project.

Do you know someone who needs an encouraging word? Maybe a get well soon or WOW you are amazing; even a thank you card? This is a great way to think of someone that you want to build up and give some love or encouragement.

For this card I used a variety of items to create a relaxing scene to go along with this beautiful sentiment from the Tasteful  Textures Stamp Set.  I used the High Seas Embossing Folder to create the water look under the sand dollars.  I sponged the embossed part a bit with some balmy blue for added dimension.  The sand dollars are die cut from the Under The Sea dies.  I added a bit of the wink of stella to a few of them for added color...it kind of looks like sand on them too :)

The palm trees are die cut using the Friendly Silhouettes dies.  The sentiment is die cut using the Detailed Band dies.  I added a few rhinestones to appear as stars on this rich design series paper piece from the See A Silhouette DS Paper.  I hope that this fun easel card will give someone a little encouragement.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today make sure you head over to Kylie's blog to vote for my project. I would love to be chosen to do an international blog hop.
