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

Hey, stampers!  Check out this month's creative inspiration.  Don't forget to share what you've created with me. Happy Stamping! Creative Inspiration with a Sketch Here's this month's sketch: And here's the project it inspired: Say "hello" to a friend with this bright card featuring artistic loose watercolor floral stamped elements. Two round flowers from the Artistically Inked Cling Stamp Set were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Berry Burst Classic Ink, and one double leaf element was stamped on Basic White in Shaded Spruce. The stamped elements were cut out using the coordinating Artistic Dies. The "hello" sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Berry Burst to the left-hand side of a Basic White circle cut using the 2⅜" Circle Punch. One of the stamped flower elements was adhered directly to the lower right-hand side of the circle. The leaf element was attached to the back of the other flower, and the two combin...
