Pals Blog Hop: Beautiful Blues
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop
May 2025 Edition
This month’s theme is “Flowers in Bloom.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the Pals’ blogs are at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!
Do you have a favorite Flower? Or maybe, like me, you like many. Daisies, sunflowers and wildflowers are at the top of the list. It’s so hard to pick a favorite, unless the flowers are blue. Then, I love them all.
Have you seen the new Beautiful Blues Kit? My cards today are alternate ideas using this kit. The best part, no additional products were used. Let’s take a look before moving on to my simple instructions.

The two alternates I created are similar to one of the suggested cards with a twist. One has the top, die-cut layer flipped to show the white side. The other shows the same die-cut layer over a flipped card base.
