All Occasion Cut Out Card for August Pals Hop

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for August 2016.  We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month we are featuring projects using our favorite Stampin’ Up! cutting tools. There are so many wonderful punches, framelits and edgelits available that help make papercrafting more detailed and fun! We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

I wanted to combine punching and die-cutting, so my cutting tools on this Thoughtful Branches card were the Beautiful Branches Thinlits and Bunch of along with the Classic Label Punch. 

One thing I really like doing is finding just the right Designer Series paper to use with punching or die-cutting. This tiny print from Affectionately Yours works so well as the leaves on my tree! And those bitty birds perfectly hang my sentiment cut using the Classic Label Punch.

Thanks for visiting. To continue with the hop, please refer to the Blog Hop Line-up below. We hope to see you on next month’s Pals Blog Hop!

Ballon Background for PPA THREE HUNDRED!

Where has the time gone!! Pals Paper Arts is celebrating our 300th Challenge!! I hope you will celebrate with us and play along by creating a card using our sketch by the lovely and talented Design Team member Sandra Conner. After you create, photograph your card and upload it to a public gallery or your blog and link it back to the challenge page. 

Did you know that the DT picks their three favorites each week and puts them on display on Wednesdays?

I am loving texture this week as seen in my Pals Blog Hop yesterday, and today's card has plenty of it!

My burlap ribbon frames a slice of the upcoming Affectionately Yours Designer Series Paper and Another print from the same package is framed using Watermelon Wonder card stock. Those fun balloons in the background are punched with the Balloon Bouquet punch.  

The "celebrate" sentiment is from the soon-coming Thoughtful Banners stamp set and is punched with the brand new Duet Banner punch. June 1st is coming soon!! I can't wait to show you more from our new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog!

Order any time using my Online Store. I thank you for your business! It keeps me making cards!
