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.

I have several new 2019 Holiday Catalog products tempting me, so I decided to create something that I could use as a sneak peek paired with something current.  It resulted in Mini Curvy Keepsake Baby Shower favors.  The Mini Curvy Keepsake box is available to customers on September 4, 2019 when the Holiday Catalog goes live.  I paired it with the currently available Wildly Happy Cling Stamp Set and Stitched Labels Dies. I happen to think they pair perfectly, you?

Cut a piece of Perennial Essence 12 x 12 Vellum Cardstock down to 6 x 6 pieces, then zip through a die-cutting machine with the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Die. Fold at the score lines, tuck a little something inside and assemble (easy peasy). 

Use a Clear Block B to stamp the “little one” sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.  Crop with the stitched heart die from the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies as shown.  Adhere, with a Mini Glue Dot, to a circle die (Stitched Labels Die) of Whisper White Cardstock.  Tie to the handle of the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box with Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine, securing with a bow. 

Use a Stamparatus to stamp the bunny images in Jet Black Stāzon Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock.  Color with an Aqua Painter, So Saffron, and Petal Pink Classic Ink…with a touch of Smoky Slate.  Snip with Paper Snips and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

Add a Frosted Flower Embellishment, as well as the small Pearl Basic Jewels, as shown.  Colored with Dark So Saffron and Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends as needed.
