Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Happy New Year to you and your families. I think we are all looking forward to a happier and healthier New Year! I have 2 cards I’d like to share with you today, and a video I recorded while making them … explains my train of thought while creating.

I am using the COMING HOME Bundle which retires in 3 days 😦 The Holiday Mini catalog ends on January 4th, 2021 so if you are interested in anything in the catalog, you will want to get it before then! Let’s take a peek at what I was up to …

I had to chuckle when I discovered you could “layer” the houses!! Sometimes we just miss the obvious … lol. For me, it just created more excitement as do even MORE with this bundle than I thought. One thing I didn’t mention in the video is “why” I colored my building red … I wanted it to look like a big lodge in the middle of a beautiful … calm … forest. The perfect spot for my Retreat House!!

Of course … it’s also a perfect place to retire (for other people) lol. I dream of owning my own retreat house so we could gather and stamp whenever we wanted to!!

My next card highlights the new Blending Brushes and Foam Adhesive Sheets ….

The Blending Brushes created a soft glow around my die cut circle as to highlight it, and the Foam Adhesive Sheets turns anything into a dimensional sticker!! I am having a ball playing with them. Think what you could do on your scrapbook pages!! Mind blown!

I also shared a great little tip on how you can still stamp your cardstock if you put your dimensionals on first! I’ve said it a million times … there are no mistakes in stamping, just opportunities to embellish (or get creative!).

Hope you enjoyed my little video and cards today. Thank you so much for spending the first day of the New Year with me!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ~
