STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The Naturals Designer Buttons with a wood-like finish give my tree a blast of charm. Buttons will be available June 1.
- Are you digging the texture on the tree? That’s the new Stampin’ Up! Fancy Fan Embossing Folder (available June 1). Vavoom definition! Click and scroll through all my Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek Posts.
- Gumball-licious. I’m sharing one of the new Stampin’ Up! In Colors called Gumball Green. Both the tree top card stock and a strip of Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper feature this new color.
- A tiny pop of color adds interest. The wee heart (? la Owl Builder Punch) was cropped from Raspberry Ripple card stock (also one of the new Stampin’ Up! In Colors and available June 1). Learn more about the New Stampin’ Up! 2012-2014 In Colors
- Make a flagged end lickety split. Watch my Flagged End with a Square Punch Video Tutorial.
