Paris in the Spring

 

Welcome to our Pals Blog Hop, May 2018. This month we’ll be “Stepping Up with Textures or Techniques.” What’s that? Projects that are “stepped up” by using textures or fun techniques. Who knows, maybe both! Join us in the fun while we inspire you to “step up” your creations.

You may be starting the hop here or you may be 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 want you to use your imagination and picture yourself in Paris sitting at a French cafe.  It is a beautiful spring day in Paris.  You have nowhere to go and can enjoy your wine or cappuccino as you watch the people. You can easily recreate this scene with the Mediterranean Moments stamp set.  It has the perfect sidewalk cafe on this stamp set.   Use your embossing paste to create a textured background that resembles a brick wall.

This card will surely take the receiver away to a peaceful moment in time which is perfect for their birthday.

Who Does So Much For You?

 

 

I hope you are paying attention to your calendar.  My question above asks “who does so much for you?” should give you clue.  Mother’s Day of course.  Whether mother was stirring up the special treats for your birthday or helping you with that special school project, it is time to celebrate her.  I chose the Apron of Love stamp set with cute words “Bake with Love.”  It was in the Occasion’s Catalog and now will be in the Annual Catalog.  This stamp set is great because you will use it for a variety of occasions depending on how you do the colors.  It easily becomes a barbeque using red and black.  So stir up some love.

Nature’s Beauty

 

Before we get to nature’s beauty,  I want to show you something I worked on Saturday.  My oldest son is getting married in June.  It was requested that I make the Bridal Shower Invitations.   I agreed to do it but I  thought long and hard about what to create.  You see their theme is a beachy theme.  So to me, the standard umbrella invitation doesn’t fit.   This is what I ended up with.

 

 

 

Do you recognize the stamp set?   It is So Many Shells which is retiring and By the Tide long since retired.  I used the Seaside Embossing Folder.  I would love to hear your thoughts.

 

As you can see from the first photo and the title, I was thinking about nature.  I go out to a lovely park every evening and do 3 miles.  We have several lakes that I see as I walk around it. One of our frequent visitors is the herons.  So when I saw Lilypad Lake stamp set in the new catalog, I had to have it.  I colored the heron with gray and touch of blue.  Just like you see in nature.  So come take a stroll on the steps to make this card. Then request the catalog today so you can order this stamp set and many others. Click here for requesting the new catalog https://www.stampinpinkrose.com/catalog-re  and you will receive some special goodies in your package.

By the way, notice that it has no greeting.  I thought long and hard about it, but my walking partner said let the inside say what you want to say.  So this card will be perfect for thank you, get well, thinking of you, or birthday.  There is one more I would use for and that is Mother’s Day.  It is coming up so if you are one of the lucky ones that somehow manage to get your hands on it use it.
