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... The elements rolled included: Bling, Emboss, Birthday, DSP/foil, and Subtles, and just for fun I added a 6th element...Summer.   The color palette I chose included: This month, I created two totally different cards using the same products and color palette.  Do you have a favorite?  I love them both and I can't decide.   To see how I made both of them, check out the video demonstration on my YouTube channel.  Don't forget to like and share the video with your other crafty friends...and while you are ther...

Did you have a great 4th of July holiday? As the actual holiday was in the middle of the week and I had to go to work the day after, I chose to spend the weekend before with my sister and her family...I love sister time. I spent the 4th Stamping with some friends on Zoom and making BBQ (in the air fryer, of course, triple-digit heat in Texas doesn't invite BBQing outdoors). What did you do? I love the month of July...why? Because yours truly was born this month and I celebrate all month! Happy birthday to me!!  There are so many other things happening that I'm excited about,  so let me share them with you.  Until next time, Happy Stamping! Caron
