Mix It Up Monday!

Welcome to my first Mix It Up Monday project! My intention with this series of projects is to NOT limit myself to using just one stamp set/bundle or products from the same Suite/Collection!

You can choose your own products that you have on hand to mix it up anyway you choose! The possibilities are endless!

Here are the ingredients I used for this Mix It Up Monday recipe: (but feel free to shop from the product list below!)

Tropical Leaf Stamp Set (Online Exclusive)
Brushed Shapes Dies (22-23 Annual)
Something Fancy Dies (Jan-Apr 23 Mini)
Lovely Labels Pick A Punch (22-23 Annual)
Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (Jan-Apr 23 Mini)
Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ DSP (Jan-Apr 23 Mini)

Usually, I am spotlighting one or two products in a design that steal the show. It’s impossible to do that here since they all just work together to make a beautiful card.

I love using the Brushed Shapes Dies to crop right from the designer series paper. The sentiment pops with the simple greeting and simple die cut hexagon shape.

I actually used the back side of the embossed strip (behind the sentiment) because I really liked how it simulated small circles and there was nothing pointing up (as on the reverse side of the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder).
