If you spend any time on Pinterest browsing home décor, you’ll see there’s a recent trend to decorate homes with copper. This blushy-toned metallic hue gives both a rustic and industrial look. And now this copper trend has spilled over into our world! Stampin' Up! is bringing us a suite of products that combines bright florals and gorgeous shiny copper. I can't wait to show you more!

Here's that copper embossing close up...

To get the "Celebrate" all coppery, I smooshed the wood veneer words from the Expressions Natural Elements on my VersaMark stamp pad, then into the Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder, and finally heat set. Unfortunately, the Expressions Natural Elements are on the Retiring List and have now sold out. Just a reminder that order what you want from the Retiring List before they're gone.

I have some more projects I made with this fabulous product suite so keep watching this space! You can also see them and more at the Annual Catalogue Launch Party...
