Things are "heating up" with the Pals Paper Arts Challenge (PPA113) this week!. Use a touch of heat embossing in your project and play along. PPA challenges are not exclusive to Stampin' Up! products or demonstrators. . . . use any brand you want!
TAKE YOUR PAPERCRAFTING TO A NEW LEVEL: I find doing a weekly challenge one of the best ways to sharpen my skills and have a regular date with my beloved paper, tools and embellishments.

NEW VIDEO TUTORIAL! I recently had a blog reader ask me about creating an open-end envelope using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper and the new Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I disassembled a Whisper White Stampin' Up! Small Open-End Envelope (6 3/4" x 3 1/2") and determined the dimensions and scores. Today's Stampin' Pretty Video Tutorial shares the simple process of turning your open-end envelopes into WOW!
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
- I kept this get well card very simple, including the heat embossing of the floral stems in white.
- An Embossing Buddy helps reduce static and keeps bits of embossing powder from migrating where you don't want them.
- The Open End Envelope will accommodate up to a 6 5/8" x 3 3/8" card. Less if you have ribbon or other embellishments that require more interior room.
- Creating your own envelopes gives you a great reason to share more pretty patterns and color. The Stampin' Up! Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paperis a fresh, coordinated look to receive in the mail!
