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...

The theme for this hop is Spring/Easter...two seasons/occasions that I love. I couldn't decide on either so I decided to create a couple of cards that can be used as either a Spring card or an Easter card. The star of the show for both cards was the Daffodil Daydream Bundle. I absolutely love this bundle.  The stamp set includes seven cling-mounted gorgeous line-art images ...
