Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Home for the Holidays. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you!
You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
This was one of the creations that I made while at my semi-annual craft retreat. I just love this “chubby” bird, all ready for winter, paired with the beautiful die-cut background, with a pop of Azure Afternoon peeking through.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11. Score and fold at 5 1/2.
Use a Blending Brush to add Azure Afternoon Classic Ink to a 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 piece of Basic White Cardstock.
Adhere to the care base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Crop a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White Cardstock with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) and the Aspen Tree Die.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the bird, branch and sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock.
Color with Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Cajun Craze, Copper Clay, Pecan Pie, and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.
Crop the images with the coordinating Aspen Tree Dies. Snip the sentiment with Paper Snips.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team.
Please mark your calendars for our blog hop next month (second Wednesday), when our theme will be Winter Wonderland.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

With the upcoming changes to Stampin’ Rewards (10% Rewards Earned on $20+ Orders) going into effect on April 15th at 2 PM MT, I wanted to let you know about an important update to my customer rewards. Starting today (April 12), I will no longer be offering Free Monthly Hoot Loot with $50+ orders.
This decision didn’t come easily. With a significant drop in business, I’ve had to reassess what’s sustainable for me moving forward. While I’ve loved being able to offer this extra thank-you each month, it’s no longer feasible for me to continue this particular program.
That said, I’m happy to share that my Hoot Point Rewards Program is here to stay! You’ll continue to earn one Hoot Point for every $50 you spend—and once you collect 10 points, you’ll receive a $50 shopping spree on me!
Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to me!

Love your card Stesha! The coloring on your bird is just beautiful!!
Beautiful, Stesha! Love how you colored the bird!
I LOVE that chubby little bird too! Beautiful card Stesha!
Very pretty card, Stesha! I decided that the bird isn’t really chubby – he just fluffed his feathers to stay warm! Thanks for joining the blog hop this month!
