Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! While the COVID 19 pandemic is adding stress to our lives, we Pals hope this blog hop will help to lift your spirits. Let us inspire you to take a creative break and relax for a little while. This month our theme is “Special Occasions” where we have made a project for just about any occasion you can think of! You’ll find the full line-up below to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
The Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes are a hidden gem in the 2019-2020 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog. They come in both Silver or Gold; 20 Foil Edged Cards of either Gold or Silver along with 20 coordinating envelopes trimmed in foil for only $10.00.
These cards give you an elegant card base to work with when you are creating a card for a special occasion such as a wedding or anniversary. For my project this month, I created an Anniversary card but you can easily change the sentiment for the special occasion that you need.

So soft and pretty, Deb!
Gorgeous! And I love the sentiment on the inside!

Thanks for your lovely comments!
I love the way you framed it. Such a special card!
Thanks. By changing the sentiment, this card can be used for lots of different occasions.
Beautiful card and great tips Deb!
Thanks, my friend!
Beautiful layers of detail Deb! Love seeing how you put your own stamp on this Special hop!
Sometimes clean and simple isn’t enough; that’s why i ventured out with the layers of detail. Thanks!
What a beautiful anniversary card, great job!
Thanks much!
Such a pretty card, Deb! Thanks for explaining how to stamp on vellum too.
You’re welcome! Happy to share stamping tips.
Beautiful — love the use of the vellum!
Thanks. Vellum adds a touch of elegance and is often overlooked when using supplies to create cards.
Love, love, love this card, Deb! The details are absolutely perfect. Using the foil cards is great and they’re often forgotten in my stash. I’m pulling them out now! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for your lovely comments!
My parents celebrate 50 years this summer. I’m saving this beautiful card idea. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your positive feedback. I’m happy that you’ve been inspired to make one of your own.
Very pretty, the vellum makes it so delicate. I really like the frame you created.
