Gift card envelopes from card stock.

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today instead of showing you how to create an entire project I figured I could show you how to create a gift card holder.

When extra drops are a good thing.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! In this case today it’s an extra drop but that’s details. When using Shimmery Crystal Effects I stamp as usual.

Weaving for affect.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today we are being scrappy. We are using our scraps to create a woven background. So take some of that paper that is left from the project that is already finished or maybe even some paper that you didn’t care for.
