Thank you for joining us for the February Pals Blog Hop! Today
the Stampin’ Pretty Pals are excited to introduce you to the Stampin’
Up! products we LOVE. We hope you find new ideas for using the products
you already have – or find new items to add to your wish list.
You should have just left stop number ONE on the Pals
Hop – Maggie Mata’s Maggie Made Cards. If so, you are
in the right spot. If you get off track, the full blog lineup below
will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing
creations.
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.
I heat embossed Pool Party Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Early Espresso Card Stock.
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.
