Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created “Birthday Bonanza” projects to inspire you to make for all of your family and friends. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments because we all 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.

I love to give homemade gifts and my project today is one that will last year after year! What a pretty reminder who to send birthday cards to each month!Stampin' Up!Oval Occasions Perpetual Birthday Calendar Box - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I plan to gift these to my family and friends for their birthday this year. I had fun creating these with different colors and designer series papers.
Stampin' Up! Dandy Garden Perpetual Birthday Calendar gift idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This one showcases the lovely patterns in the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper Pack. I even punched the dragonflies from the DSP using the Dragonflies Punch. For the birthday sentiment I adhered Basic White to Stampin’ Up! foam adhesive sheets and cut it out with the Well Written Dies. Each month showcases some of the different designer series patterns.
Stampin' Up! Dnady Garden and Well Written Dies Perpetual Birthday Calendar gift idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The months were printed on Basic White cardstock and punched using the Double Oval Punch. I love punches and this one is on the list of My Favorite Things. It is available as a bundle with the Oval Occasions Stamp Set which I used to stamp the sentiment on the box below.
Stampin' Up! True Love Perpetual Birthday Calendar Box idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This box is striking with the black & white True Love Designer Series Paper and Magenta Madness. The flower cluster is fussy cut from one of the patterns.

My next box features the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper which you can get for FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

I used the Pretty Perennials stamp set for the sentiment and punched the flower using the Daisy Punch.

Which one do you prefer?

Thanksgiving Gratitude

Happy Thanksgiving! This Thanksgiving may look different than years past, and this may be a really difficult time for many, but know that you are not alone. You make a big difference to me and I am grateful! And when you share your cards know that you are making a big difference to others too!Thanksgiving 2020
I am thankful my daughter was able to make it home from college for Thanksgiving. We miss having our son home and being together with the rest of our family but there is always something to be thankful for. Even though there was just the three of us this year I still kept with our family traditions and made Thanksgiving favors and had a little dinner game conversation fun! I sent one to my son and we facetimed to include him in our festivities. I used some leftover Paper Pumpkin kits and the Beautiful Autumn stamp set to quickly put these together.

My kids groan when I pull out our conversation starter game but I know they enjoy it and we always learn a little something new each year. I used the Arrange A Wreath stamp set for the sentiment and punched the ends with the Banners Pick A Punch. I used the Sprig Punch with some vellum and the retired leaf punch to add some embellishment.

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin alternative idea for Thanksgiving Gratitude Jar using Arrange A Wreath stamp set - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This couldn’t be any easier to put together. Tie a ribbon around a mason jar, fill with conversation starters and decorate the front (for any occasion).  You could do this for any get together with family or friends.  We sometimes share at Christmas or New Year’s….just whenever we can be together.

I hope your Thanksgiving this year is one to be thankful for next year!

So, from my family to yours, have a safe and

Happy Thanksgiving!
