Stamping with Friends Blog Hop - Dry Embossing with Dies

Saturday, 6 May 2023

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you! You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This time our theme is a "Dry Embossing with Dies".

My interpretation of the theme was to die cut a shape and then emboss it. I love the texture that dry embossing adds to the die cuts. I used Beautiful Balloons which is an amazing suite from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. Any guess what my favourite colour combination is! Yep, Berry Burst (woohoo, it's back) and Bubble Bath. Such a pretty colour combination!

Check out this fun card! Wouldn't this card make you smile!
