Stamp Time With Friends Roll of the Die #18

  Can you believe it? Our Stamp Time with Friends YouTube Hop family is growing.  Creating with me this month are Tamika Morris, Martinette Horner, Valerie Powell, and new to the team, Tiffany McGill. Thanks for joining us this month as the design team wows you with their creative projects using the die elements: Stampin' Up! In-Colors; Embellish, Masculine, Sponging, Fun folds, and one of our members tortured us with having to do this all on a non-A2 sized card.  I chose to create a 5 1/2" square card.  I chose this size primarily because I wanted to ensure that I would use products that we generally have on hand.  I find that I will have 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock on hand but not much 12" x 12" for my card bases...that I reserve for patterned/Designer Series Paper So here's what you'll need for the project today: Base color: 5 1/2" x 11"; 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"; 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" DSP/Patterned Paper: 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" Coor
