Have you ever wondered what to do with older catalogs? Do you just throw them out? I used to...but no more!  There is so much inspiration to be had from them that it would be unwise not to capitalize on it.   During my Facebook Live, I took the opportunity to share how I drew inspiration from the retired Annual Catalog.   Measurements: Base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" Cardstock (same color): 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (punch or die cut) Basic White: 3" x 3"; 4" x 5 1/4", scrap for sentiment Happy Stampin'.  While you are on my YouTube channel, don't forget to subscribe, Like and share the video(s) with your crafty friends.

It's that time again...time for another Roll of t he Die.  This month, we have a new demonstrator, Karen Finley, joining us and I'm excited to share her talents with you. Karen lives in Arlington, TX. As a reminder, the elements the die rolled that we had to incorporate into our projects were: Thanks, Dry Emboss, Brights, Fancy Fold and we had to incorporate foil or DSP. So, where to begin...Colors. The Stampin' Up! Brights collection includes Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, and Poppy Parade. Now...which of these do I choose...hmmm...my wheelhouse is in the regals and neutrals so this one is a little challenging for me.  Next, which fancy fold do I want to showcase and how does it fit in with the other element...oh, and BTW, we only have 30 minutes to present our projects. I chose to demonstrate a collar fold card. Easy peasy lemon squeezy... Measurements: Base (Daffodil Delight): 8 1/2" x 5
