The Love of Stamping!

May Pals Blog Hop

I am stop number one on the PALS HOP today and I'm glad you hopped in!  I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find all kinds of inspirational ideas for papercrafted creations from the Stampin' Pretty Pals!  We'll showcase all the Stampin' Up! has to offer for two important occasions, Father's Day and Graduation.  Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the PALS HOP LINE-UP and you'll be back on track.  We're thrilled to have you visit and excited to hear what you think about our hop.  Please feel free to leave as many comments as you'd like along the way!  

Today I am giving you as many ideas as I can for Grad's and Fathers day.  Note I have a cute fathers card coming up on Thursday for the Pals Paper Arts where I will be the featured artist this week.  This card above is a great card with only stamped as the saying part.  It has punched with the Scallop Trim corner punch and other wise it is only done with the Big Shot using Embossits.  In fact five different Embossits.

Here is another simple grad card.

More inspiring ideas await you at Debbie Pierce -- Stampin' Sunshine stop number two on the Pals hop!  Hop over and see Debbie's wonderfully creative ideas!  Thanks for "hopping" by!

PS, I have decided to do a special special...any one signing up to be a demo under me will get a handpainted oil painting (painted by me) after they sign up.  To sign up you can do it all online thru my SU website www.theloveofstamping.stampinup.net and my password is theloveofstamping (all one word)  To see some of my oil paintings you can go to my facebook under Barbara Furlong.  I have tons of paintings, about 300 plus as I taught for a long time for Michaels Crafts and need more room for stamps....hehehe, shipping is free...

                                                                                               

Paper Flower Card

So much happening today...I get my preorder for my summer mini supplies today by way of the UPS person!  But wanted to do this challenge for Picture Perfect Creations this morning.  So look for lots of new stuff to be coming.  This card was fun to do.  We was to only use three colors, Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla.  Opps will have to add more later on how to do this flower, have to go help a sick child for a bit.....Barb

Okay...I am back..this card uses Eastern Blooms stamp set and the Thank you Kindly stamp set.  All three colors are used in cardstock and Stampin Pad, also used one Tempting Turquoise brad.  Punches Extra Large Fancy Flower, Scallop Oval, and Wide Oval.  To make the flower, I punched out 5 of the fancy flower punch in Very Vanilla, inked the edges front and back with a cotton ball.  Then put the brad thru and started playing with the edges, roughing them up.  After I was happy with the flower and had stamped the branch, then I did a hole in the Chocolate Chip layer and added the flower with the brad attached into.  I had never done one of these flowers before and just started to play with it.
