Before you go thinking that I came up with this cool medallion look (created with the Lattice Bigz Die), please check out Kay Kalthoff’s fabulous Fancy Irish Tote! I just had to CASE her idea for the shoebox swap I’m attending in Laurel, MD today. The color combination I came up with was influenced by the vast amount of Not Quite Navy brads in my stash. Since the swap is SUO (Stampin’ Up! only) and has 31 participants, it matters a great deal to have enough identical embellishments for your design.
I’m quite thrilled with my new Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder; it works great for entire 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card fronts! And the clear mounted stamps that SU! has come out with are very nice (including their packaging). No longer a demonstrator, but still a fan!
Thanks for stopping by!
