May Blog Hop - As the Beatles say....Hello, Goodbye!


Hello, welcome to the Pals Blog Hop! This month our theme is “Goodbye to January-June Mini and 2019-2020 Annual Catalogs and Hello to 2020-2021 Annual Catalog” where the Design Team is showcasing their favorites from the retiring catalogs or products in the new catalog! You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.


I chose to use the Colorful Seasons Photopolymer Stamp Set for this month's hop because it is now on the Retired List.  I am sad to see it go as I absolute love it!

Here is a close up shot to show the Wink of Stella that was added to the large leaves.


The card size is 5"x5".  In order to have an envelope, some creativity was needed.  I like the idea of using the clear envelopes that Stampin' Up! offers, but they would not fit this card.  Welcome - vellum cut and scored to create a custom envelope!

To make a solid front for addressing, I added a small piece of card stock.  I always add a sticker on the back of my cards to identify who made it and that it is made with Stampin' Up! images, so I couldn't use the solid back for the view from the front.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for June 10th, with our theme “New 2020-2022 In Colors.” We can’t wait to show you the newest In Colors in the Stampin’ Up! color family. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.

  4. So pretty, Leah! I am keeping this set, for sure! I use the dies all the time! Your choice of colors is wonderful and love that you made your own envelope. I do that a lot since my cards frequently end up not fitting in their coordinating envelopes LOL! Just adds to the card in my opinion!

Ending the week with more cherry blossoms and a Sneak Peek!

I think the best part of the Colorful Seasons Photopolymer Stamp Set (which is on the LAST CHANCE LIST) is this sentiment. As a Yoga...
