Welcome to another Be Inspired Design Team insta hop! This month’s theme is “Wow Cards… Made Simple” 😬 to spotlight a technique, a color combo, a fun fold, etc

Well… 🫣… I CHOSE to ignore the second half of the theme: “Made Simple” 😆, but the technique that I’m highlighting IS pretty simple. Plus the fun fold I designed gave me a lot of real estate to showcase the technique.
I love to use blending brushes to add shading, highlight details, add designs or coloring with stencils, etc, so the Painted Patch Suite from was a great choice! Blending the ink over the dry embossed panel really brings the pattern to life! That’s why I love this technique so much, it ALWAYS adds a wow factor! The mask I picked from the collection has an overall pattern that complemented beautifully the design. Make sure to check all the pictures to see the many panels unfolding.

From my trip to the Stampin’ Up! home office last week. Me and my teammate Mariel flew together to Riverton, Utah, to attend a demonstrator’s convention last Thursday and Friday. First time there and it did not disappoint! I was like a kid in a candy store! 🫣❤️
It was a dream come true for sure! I’ll never forget it! 🥰
