Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. This month we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Pals Blog Hop with “Critters” from the Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Many of the design team members are offering “Mystery Blog Candy” of their choice to 1 lucky winner. To play along, just leave a comment on as many blog posts as desired. A random winner will be announced on a subsequent blog post by each participating design team member. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Card #1
Card #2
I love all the critters Stampin’ Up! offers. You can find them in the Annual Catalog and in the Mini Catalog plus the Sale-a-bration. The choices are wide-ranging. However, I think the favorite has been the Little Ladybug in the Sale-a-bration Brochure. It has been my favorite. I have made numerous cards with it.
So today I stepped it up by using the Corrugated 3 D Embossing Folder. Don’t forget to Spritzer the cardstock first. It breaks the fibers down a little so it doesn’t tear. I think it makes the ladybug stand out. I did it in two cards in different two different colors…Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo. I would love to hear what you think.

I love both these cards. I really love the ladybugs stamps and dies set. I love you offered two choices of colors. You don’t see that very often. I’ve missed a few in seeing them, but when I do find these lost ones, I save them to Pinterest. I use these past and present blog pages for help, when needed.
