Sharing your paper.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Remember when your mother told you to share. So today I am reminding you to share. Have you noticed in all of our Designer Series Papers that there are at least two of each of the patterns? You couldContinue reading “Sharing your paper.”

Dividing papers and punches.

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today is the day we have tutorials and a video for how to divide your monotonous patterns and how to use the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. For starters you can use a thin piece of ribbon or paper to divide a pattern and break it up. This card uses the InContinue reading “Dividing papers and punches.”

Paper as ribbon.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today I want to talk about the texture of things. When you use an embossing folder not only can it be a full background, but it can make things look like something else. For example, this piece of Crumb CakeContinue reading “Paper as ribbon.”

Split the paper.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is the day that we split the paper somewhat literally. I have taken the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper and picked my least favorite pattern out of the bunch. It is my least favorite since the little blue flowers or stars are all in a row. So I thought…how doContinue reading “Split the paper.”

Rest…in peace. It’s not just for the dead.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to focus on resting and recharging. I’ve often heard that rest is for the weak. Rest is for when you are dead. Rest in peace is often on a headstone. Just walk through a cemetery. But today I want to talk about the fact that rest in peaceContinue reading “Rest…in peace. It’s not just for the dead.”

Giving back by being present.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Since Father’s Day is Sunday I figured I would do a little tribute to my daughter’s father (and yes, my hubby). As my daughter turned 18 about ten days ago life seems to be flashing before my eyes. IContinue reading “Giving back by being present.”

Grab a card base and punch or die cut your border. After stamp your images or sentiments and you are done. SoContinue reading “Punches and buckles.”

Using a die for a border.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Have you created a card and it just doesn’t speak to you? It’s got the same shape…square…and it just screams bbbbooooooorrrrrriiiiinnnnnngggg. Then use a die to shape the edges and create a border of sorts. The negative image of theContinue reading “Using a die for a border.”
