Today's Tiles for a vintage look!

 Hi Stampin' Friends! 

I'm fresh off my weekly FB Live video and can't wait to show you the card I made tonite as well as some other samples with this bundle. The video tutorial features the "Today's Tiles" bundle which is surprisingly fun to use. It's a two-step stamping experience, best used with the Stamparatus. What I love about this set was how I could change up color schemes and sentiments and just play with it! Here are some results:


My first card uses three of the dies in this bundle and one of the sentiments. It's a fun, sunny color theme with Bumblebee and Mossy Meadow, featuring upcoming Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper!


For this card, I grabbed a piece of the "Magic of this Night" DSP for Halloween and used a generic design of Pretty Peacock which also has a tile/brocade look to it.  I used the single tile stamp and a sentiment stamp, along with some In Color Ribbon. When's the last time you used your corner rounder to round your corners? I think it's been a couple of years for me!


 I used a favorite color combination of Blackberry Bliss and Granite Gray to keep this card elegant and vintage.  My Stamparatus was invaluable for the two step stamping! I also used a die from the "Marvelous Dies" set and the "Tasteful Textile" 3D embossing folder for more texture. 


Honestly, not sure if I like this card. I think it's missing something. I used one of the dies in the bundle and cut some rectangles out of matching card stock for my "Flowers for Every Season" DSP background. It's ok, I don't just love it!


For my last card, I grabbed the "Forever Greenery" DSP and dies and tried to layer some more pieces with more dies from the "Today's Tile" bundle. Lots of layers here!

Here's a video of me making the 3rd card above. My video tutorials show you exactly how I make a card and especially the sequence I use. It does matter sometimes what order you do things in!


I'm trying to do FB Live's at least once a week and generally give several hours notice before I go Live. I'd love to have you join me. It's like a class, only shorter and you don't have to leave the comfort of your home! I welcome any questions or comments and also suggestions on future techniques or products you would like me to demonstrate!

It's awesome to share this fun hobby with you and I appreciate you stopping by to take a look. Have a great week and do some stamping!
