Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is New 2022-2024 In Colors. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I have to admit, I wasn’t immediately in love with the 2022-2024 In Colors from Stampin’ Up. I am not a bright colors person so I just wasn’t sure about a couple of the colors, namely Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide. Rather than avoid them, I decided to play with them first. I also wanted to play with the stamp set I received from Stampin’ Up for attending OnTour this spring. The Good Feelings stamp set is in the brand new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. It is all sentiments but in lots of great fonts. My eyes fell on the “Sending Sunshine and Good Feeling Your Way” sentiment and knew it was the one for this project. But what to use with it? The obvious choice was Fabulous Frames dies since it coordinates with the stamp set, but then I spotted the Spiral Dye stamp set on my shelf. Perfect!
I mounted the Spiral Dye stamp on the Stamparatus and stamped it in Tahitian Tide on a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla. I then turned it 180 and stamped it in Parakeet Party. Next I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky, also an In Color but darker than the other two colors. I finished off the card front with a few Brushed Brass Butterflies. I then mounted the card front on a Starry Sky card base and done!
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on June 8th. Our theme will be “CASE the Catalog” when our Design Team creates a project found in the new Annual Catalog and CASE it with their own creative twist.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
