Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team is showcasing “My Happiest Season.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Fall is my happiest season. It could be because my birthday is in the fall. It could be because I love it when the weather turns cooler. Or maybe because I like sweaters and blankets. In any event — it’s FALL!

Today’s card uses three different stamp sets: Basket of Blooms, Celebration Tidings, and Jar of Flowers. The darling flower pot is a stamp from the Basket of Blooms stamp set, and it’s also stamped with the little bow around the  pot ~ LOVE! The pot was cut out with my Paper Snips. The floral arrangement in the pot is from the Jar of Flowers stamp set, and is colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers.

The darling little pumpkins are die-cut using the Autumn Essential Dies, and the sentiment is from the Celebration Tidings Bundle! To create the foliage under the pot and the pumpkins, I used a die from the Birds & More Dies and cut it twice, first using Granny Apple Green card stock and then using Garden Green card stock.

The background here is a piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I think it looks like the side of a barn-type building with a pot and a few pumpkins growing along the side 🙂 It was fun to create a “scene” and imagine a little story around the scene 🙂

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 our next blog hop on September 9th when our theme is “It’s the Sentiment that Counts.” The Design Team will showcase a sentiment as the focal point of their project. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.
