Welcome to the June 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month’s theme, Pick a “B”, features projects inspired by Babies, Birthdays and Brides to name few. You may just get a glimpse of new catalog products while you hop with us today.

Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

For today’s project I chose “B” for Baby and “B” for Birthday, sharing with you some projects I created using the new Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). This paper is beautiful and can be used for a variety of occasions such as baby, birthdays, weddings or anniversaries. This heavyweight DSP features Gold Foil on one side of the 12 sheets that are included, then six are Soft Sky/Very Vanilla and six are Blushing Bride/Very Vanilla on the other side. This beautiful and versatile paper is part of the Bundle of Love Suite on pages 102-103 in the new 2017/2018 Annual Catalog.

For the Baby Boy in your life, I used the Soft Sky/Very Vanilla paper to make this standard A2 card and 3″x3″ cards.

For the Baby Girl in your life, I used the Blushing Bride/Very Vanilla paper to make this A2 card and 3″x3″ cards. The 3D favors are from both the Blushing Bride and Soft Sky with Very Vanilla papers.

For that special friend or family member who likes a little bling, I used the Gold Foil/Very Vanilla paper for the following projects along with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder for the sentiments. I just love the fantastic prints available in this DSP paper pack, don’t you?

The 3″x3″ notecards were made to highlight the other two distinct patterns included in the new Bundle of Love Specialty DSP pack, the new Starburst punch (a new personal favorite), and the new Iridescent Sequin Assortment. The 3D favors, filled with the candy coated chocolate Sixlets, also demonstrate how you can use a thinlit or framelit to cut out a window.  Now that you have seen the Starburst Punch in all the 3″x3″ cards, what do you think? I just LOVE it paired with the stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits (another personal favorite).

The list of supplies available in the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog I used to create today’s projects are included at the bottom of my post. Hope you enjoyed these projects and they inspire some craftiness in you. Let me know what you think of today’s projects and the new products featured by leaving me a comment below.
