It's the 3rd Sunday of the month...yes, I know...a whole week later...and it's time for our monthly Roll of The Die video hop!  Creating with me this month from the Stamp Time With Friends design team is Tiffany McGill. Thanks for joining us this month as the we wow you with our creative projects using the die elements: Stampin' Up! Brights; Embellish, Masculine, Layering, and Monochromatic.  Well, it just so happens that I also needed a birthday card - my dad and little brother's birthday --so I thought I'd kill 2 birds with one stone (whoever came up with that...) and this is what I came up with.  Combining three of my favorite techniques - heat embossing, ink blending, and masking--I don't think I did so bad.  Pop on over to my YouTube channel and watch the video to see how I created today's card.  I hope you enjoy it!

I find that this set is a hidden gem in the catalog.  Truth be told, it was probably on one of the first--maybe second or third--orders from the then "new" Catalog and I'm so glad I finally have the opportunity to use it.  Take a look at the cards we created tonight on the YouTube Live. We incorporated a couple of techniques to include: second generation stamping, tip to tip watercoloring, and fussy cutting. Overall ...
