It’s that time of the month when I share my monthl It’s that time of the month when I share my monthly group creations. I made two cards and a gift box featuring @stampinupofficial ‘s Mix & Match products & the Everyday Essentials Designer Series Paper. For my three projects, I used the Designer Series Paper in different ways to give the Mix & Match products some extra love —adding texture and layers to a card, creating charming faux banner accents, and embellishing a gift box by ruching the designer series paper into a faux ribbon detail. Swipe ⬅️ to see them up close! Hop along with us to see all of the beautiful creations from the group and get inspired!

Using Classic Stampin’ Pads with blending brushes Using Classic Stampin’ Pads with blending brushes is the perfect way to create soft blended backgrounds and details. I loved using this technique with @stampinupofficial ‘s Ferns & Flora and the Notes & Totes dies . I filled the tote with layered ferns and greenery to create a stunning look! Comment “more” for details on how I made this card. 🌿 #FernsAndFlora #NotesAndTotes #tipsandtricks #stampinup #stampinupcanada
