Stamp Off Challenge Forever Fern

Welcome to our first Stamp Off challenge of the new
2020-21 catalog. Buffy, Susan and I will be featuring our favorite 
layouts, using new catalog product.

I find that I tend to go to layouts that feature a strip of
DSP, or images on the left, with the sentiment on the right.
Perhaps it's my career in classrooms, where I like a clear
left-right progression for reading with students.

Forever Fern (p 110), with the coordinating Forever
Flourishing Dies is my favorite new bundle.  It is so
very elegant.  For this card, I masked off the left side of
the card, sponged and stamped.   It's an easy way to create
the look of DSP.   I added a couple gold foil elements to 
make the card sparkle.  The sentiment comes from the
Country Home set on page 89.  

Thank you for stopping and please click on over to see
what layouts Buffy and Susan like best!

Nothing's Better Than Chocolate!

As you likely know, SU demos live for the day when a new
SU annual catalog lands on their doorstep.  Better yet,
that first box of new product, that we've debated about for what
feels like months.  I got my first catalog order Monday
and went to work!

The Nothing's Better Than stamp set (p 91), with
coordinating Love You More Than (p 176) dies was
at the top of my wish list.  This bundle has excellent 
sentiments, images and Die cut words.  There are so many
ways to put these components together. 

In this example, I paired Blushing Bride with Early Expresso
and placed everything on the Hammered Metal 3d
Embossing Folder layer.  Sentiments were cut out with
the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
