Pieces and parts make a whole.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Sometimes you have to cut up a large stamp into pieces and then re-create it. I am calling this my eclectic picasso sunflower. It’s also another way to show off the new In Colors! Have you ever created something similar?Continue reading “Pieces and parts make a whole.”
Using dies as the centerpiece.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Today we are talking about letting the paper and dies shine through. Stamping doesn’t always have to be the center of attention, right?

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.”
