One of my favourite techniques is emboss resist and for my card today I paired it with a Collage card. I love how it turned out with the gold heat embossed image.

I've been having so much fun with the Hot Air Balloon Bundle and the coordinating products from the Lighter than Air Suite. One of my favourite fun folds is the Faux Step Fold Card. I always struggle with cutting and scoring a single sheet of cardstock to make one of these cards so the faux step card method is perform for me!

Today I'm hopping other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators in the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. The theme this month is Old Movies or TV Shows. Whenever I look at the Trusty Tools Bundle I think of the show Tool Time. Did you watch that show? I loved it, especially Wilson who you could only see the top of his face across the fence.
