Welcome to the July Pals Hop! This month, we're featuring fantastic new goodies from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog! Enjoy the HOP and get some creative ideas for using new stamps and accessories from the amazing creations that the Pals have come up with.

 

You've likely hopped over from Linda Callahan at http://www.stampinseasons.blogspot.com, I'm stop number 4 on the PALS HOP and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for paper crafted creations from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up here and you'll be back on track!

Watercoloring is one of my favorite things to do so the first few cards that is what it is all about....

Card stock: Pool Party, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla.

Watercolor paper

Ink pads: Island Indigo, StazOn Black

Ribbon: Ruffled Pool Party

Did you notice I said to use clear block F for the large background....that is because I made this stamp into a clear stamp using the new Clear-Mount Cling Foam, page 205...it was easy to use and I got extra Clear Mount Stamp Cases, same page, to put the stamp in.  I plan on changing over some of my wood stamps using this great stuff......Oh and I also started using the new Clear Block Cleaning Cloth and it really helps with the clinging of the stamps.  All are found on the same page of 205.

Simply Soft Card *****NEW CATALOG*****

New Catty new Catty.....I just love it when we get new stuff....Well as we wait for the new stuff to come, I am stamping my way thru the 2011-2012 catalog right now from front to back of all the clear stamp sets and as I can I will go back and do some of the wooden sets too.  In this card I have used the new hostess set Simply Soft and a older wooden stamp Elegant Thank You....but did you know that Stampin Up now sells a new item to make your wooden stamps to clear....I do have it on order so I will tell ya about that when it comes.

One note on this card...next time I would stamp the Thank you with a darker color of ink, it looked great before the embossing but after embossing it needs a little darker...but it still is a great card. I love using these embossing folders and there is some new ones coming.......

Supplies for this card besides basic supplies are:

Stamp Sets: Simply Soft, block H, Elegant Thank You

Card Stock:  Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla

Stampin Ink: Baja Breeze, Stazon Black

Big Shot, Embossing Folder Petals a Plenty
