  Hello, everyone, welcome to April...the month of Easter and Springtime... and thank you for joining us!   If you are new to my blog, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world who share our love of card-making through monthly blog hops with various themes. If you are following the hop, then you'll have just popped over from  Krissi Hannahn- Stamp with Krissi's  blog.  I hope you took a minute to leave a comment for her as I'm sure she'll appreciate it just as much as I will. If you are starting the hop with me, thank you so much and I hope you enjoy what I and the other hoppers have prepared for you today! One of my favorite retiring suite of products is the Delicate Desert Suite and I've chosen it as one of my featured sets for the month of April.  Here are some of the projects that I've created with it:   This card I made this for a sketch card swap  This card I made for my Monthly YouTube Hop Blog Hop Index

Hello Stampin friends! It's that time again! Time for another Roll of the Die. What is "roll of the die" you may ask?  Well, I purchased these stamping dies from Tada Moments on Etsy.  There are five (5) dies in the set and each die has different stamping elements on them such as color family, technique, theme, etc. Tamra is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator so the dies have some Stampin' Up! specific references. So here goes... At the end of last month's video when I rolled the die, the elements were: Congratulations Texture Clean & Simple Coloring Neutrals What are the neutral colors? Until the end of this month (April), the Stampin' Up! neutral palette includes  Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Gray Granite, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede. For my sample card: Cardstock: Orchid Oasis, Basic White Ink: Smoky Slate, VersaFine Clair Nocturne Stamp set: Desert Details, Thanks a Bunch Dies: Desert Details

Hello, stamping friends! Such a simple card yet so much fun...except for the research part of course...lol. I knew I wanted the colors to be in rainbow 🌈 order, but I didn't quite know exactly what that was so I called on my trusted friend.  I searched Google and then chose my Stampin' Up! colors. For the most part, I stayed in the regal tones. For the next one maybe I'll go more toward the subtle. 1/4" measurements to keep things very simple.  Base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" Night of Navy - 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White " 3 3/4" x 5" After stamping the colors in rainbow 🌈  order, I triple heat embossed the sentiment, and added a couple of rhinestones, and Voila...card is born. I'd love to see what you create with this simple design.
