Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for July.  This month we are excited to show off the new 2015 – 2017 Stampin’ Up! In Colors, namely, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. The In Color products include card stock, designer series paper, ribbon and other embellishments.  We hope you find great inspiration from the projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Sherrie Gross at Stampin’ Sunshine, number 13 on the Pals Hop.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

Today I’m using two of the new In Colors: Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush. The flowers and the sentiment are from the new Cottage Greetings stamp set, which I just love. I love the font and I love the images.

The flower stamps were colored with Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped in line using the Stamp-a-ma-jig – one of the greatest stamping tools ever! I marked every 1/4″ in a line. Then I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the flowers exactly on the dots. I stamped the taller flowers first, every 1/2″, then filled in between them with the shorter flowers.

The white heat embossed sentiment in the lower right corner helps balance out the flowers in the upper left. Scroll down to the bottom of this post to see everything I used.

The next stop is Dawn Tidd at Tiddbits from Dawn, number 15 on the Pals Blog Hop!  Thanks for visiting; I hope to see you on next month’s Pals Hop!
