  I just love using the Stampin' Up! catalog for inspiration, don't you? Join me weekly over on my YouTube channel and let's create together. This week, we CAS'd the Painted Poppies set in the current catalog. Just a little history, this bundle first debuted in the January - June 2020 Mini Catalog as a bundle (Painted Poppies Stamp Set and Painted Labels Dies)...what does that tell you of its popularity? I provided some tips and tricks for creating your own background panel or DSP if you will using your chosen stamps and ink, demonstrated the 2-step stamping process, and a little about how to work with ribbon.

I know I say this all the time, but maaaannnn, these dies be kicking my you know what, but I do so appreciate that they challenge me to get out of my comfort zone.  This time it's slimline cards...I just don't normally do them, but here goes... As a reminder, the elements the die rolled that we had to incorporate into our projects were: Congratulations, Embellish, Emboss, Regals, and it had to be a slimline card. I chose to cheat a little (not really) and make a mini slimline card. Measurements for the card: Cardbase: 7" x 6" scored at 3 1/2" on the long side Mat: 3 3/8" x 5 7/8" Image panel: 3 1/4" x 5 3/4" Envelope: DSP 8" x 8" scored on 1 side: 3/4" and 1" and on the other side at 2 1/4" and 6" Click on the video to see how I made these cards.  Skip to 39:25 to start where I begin.
