Today’s project is another one using the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set and coordinating dies. These items were originally released in the May to September Catalogue but are now part of the Online Exclusives range. The Phrases & Frames Dies were one of the first of the new ‘Impressions’ Dies, designed to give a deeply textured result. To get the best outcome you will need the new Impressions Plate. However the dies still work without it. Using the stamp set and dies together I created this ... VIEW POST

Moonlit Flora Showcase
While I’m waiting for my next Stampin’ Up! order to arrive I’m still playing with the Moonlit Flora 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP).

So with coordinating cardstock and a stamp set already on my desk I set to work. The scrap of DSP was 2" x 3-1/4" so I built my ... VIEW POST
