Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! The Pals are “Ready for Fall” and hope to inspire you with card and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

Fall, what does it mean for you?  Crisp mornings, the sound of leaves crunching under your feet, sunflowers, beautiful autumn colors and… Halloween! I can’t seem to get enough of the Sweet & Spooky things Stampin’ Up! has to offer this year. Don’t believe me? Take a look at my last few posts and you’ll see what I mean.

In August, [this year] Stampin’ Up! hosted a virtual “Craft-A-Long” event for Demonstrators. It also featured Mystery Stamping. The first told us to bring a piece of Designer Series Paper. We had no idea what else was in store. This card is one of six I created during the event. Each card featured a different technique. This card features “fussy cutting” and the use of blending brushes.

As you can see, I chose the sheet with the little windows all over it. Add a yellow moon, some bats and stars and we have a card!
