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! Measurements : Base (Azure Afternoon):  8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Basic White: (2) 4" x 5 1/4"; (1) 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"; s...

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...

So here goes... The dies rolled Sympathy, monochromatic, neutrals, layering, and bling. Usually, "bling" and "sympathy" are not a typical pairing, so this tends to stump me a little. For my color palette, I chose the following colors: Check out the YouTube video to see how I made this card.
