My Stampin’ Up! product “to love” is our colored Stampin’ Emboss Powders.  I especially love embossing colors on darker card stock, as I did for today’s card.

In case you missed this tip when I shared it a couple weeks ago, check out this clever idea for holding Stampin’ Emboss Powders.  It’s a Keurig K-Cup Spinning Carousel. I purchased mine through Bed, Bath & Beyond
for $24.99 (don’t forget your BB&B coupon)!  Here’s the original post and a Stampin’ Pretty Video.

  5. I love this image, the possibilities are endless with it and this card is amazing. I was wondering Mary, if you could possibly tell me the dimensions of this stamp, it looks real big on the catalog and on the sample cards.
