Cut & Emboss in One Step with Changing Leaves Hybrid!
I’m a BIG fan of Stampin’ Up! hybrid embossing folders. Working with the coordinating die that fits inside the embossing folder (both included with the Changing Leaves bundle), you can cut and emboss for “impressive” results in just one step! Check out the textured detail of the Melon Mambo leaves and stem. Of course, you can choose to simply dry emboss without the die, which I did on the Gray Granite layer as well as the envelope flap.
WOW Video & FREE Tutorial Round-Up!
My 1 Minute to WOW! videos offer quick and easy “how to” demonstrations and tips for the busy paper crafter. You may find watching more than once or using the “pause” feature helpful.
You also can find this week’s Stampin’ Pretty projects and FREE step-by-step tutorials using coordinating Stampin’ Up! products below!
Design a “Golden” Lovely & Sweet Sympathy Card
The large floral focal point of today’s sympathy card shows how beautifully the die (Lovely & Sweet) crops the gold floral image in the coordinating Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper (DSP). No stamping or embossing needed for the image! I was thrilled when the Lovely & Sweet stamp set, dies and coordinating Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper (DSP) carried over to the new Annual catalog.

Stampin’ Pretty Pals Paper Crafting Sunday!
Today’s paper crafting cards and projects were designed by the talented members of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Virtual Stamping Community. I’m so proud to showcase the artful designs of “the Pals” each week and hope you are as artistically inspired as I am! Links to their blogs or other social media have been provided (when available) for more project details.
NEW WOW! Video – Quick Belly Band
Today’s 1 Minute to WOW! video shows you how simple it is to wrap a 8 1/2 x 1 1/2 piece of card stock around a card to create a quick belly band closure. I find this method is easier (simpler) and more reliable than scoring with exact measurements. Belly bands are a cool and classy way to close your cards. Sliding them on and off gives the effect of opening a gift!
