Celebrate Flowers with Pals
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Flowers in the Garden. We hope you are inspired by all the wonderful creations the Pals share with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we love reading your comments. Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
My project is inspired by the beautiful dahlias from our yard where I grew up. Inspiration is everywhere.
The laser cut medallions from the Colorful Kaleidoscope Kit (#161804) remind me of those dahlias. What do you think?
The Colorful Kaleidoscope Kit is all inclusive. What does that mean? Everything you need to make the cards (as shown in kit instruction sheet) is included in the kit. Adhesives, stamps, acrylic block, ink, embellishments, envelopes, card bases….. everything. Take a peek below.

Thank you Mary. My great uncle was well known for developing new strains back in the 50’s and 60’s. We would go to the state fair and look for his ribbons… mostly Blue. 😉
Very clever, stylized flowers, Rae!
