When pieces become the main attraction.
You’ve heard the phrase one man’s trash is another’s treasure? Well, in this case, the scraps become the main attraction. I was recently cutting out some labels from the Stitched Seasons Framelits and realized that one of the leftovers was very cool looking. I needed to save this piece and make it an accent forContinue reading “When pieces become the main attraction.”
Mistakes become a new technique.
Yesterday as I was stamping quickly I messed up. Instead of making precise and calculated measurements to not overlap with what I had just stamped, I stamped almost half of my stamp over what was already there. At first I got frustrated, but then I looked at what I did. Then I liked it. MyContinue reading “Mistakes become a new technique.”
When wood becomes swiss cheese.
Today’s card has a certain tang to it, much like when you bite in to a good slice of cheese. Here’s how this one was created. The card base is from Soft Suede Card Stock cut at 5 1/2 ” on the 11 ” side. It is scored at 4 1/4″. The Very Vanilla matContinue reading “When wood becomes swiss cheese.”
Remember to use the middle.
Just a little reminder that if you have a double mat and the second mat is solid then don’t be scared to make some holes.

If you are ever wondering what something was intended to be please ask. I’ve had a few times where there are some backgrounds or little dots and I can’t figure out what stamp they coordinate with. So, I call Stampin’ Up! and I’m happy to do that for you also. Don’t get frustrated, ever. InContinue reading “When sun rays become tiaras.”
Don’t be scared to think opposite.
So many times we think that a background has to be lighter in color and the accents have to be dark or brighter. This is not always the case. For this background Basic Black Cardstock is used and the Pineapple Punch Embossing Powder (from the In Color stack) is the brightness. Sometimes you need toContinue reading “Don’t be scared to think opposite.”
Sunday is for resting and a little planning.
Are you resting today? How is your day off going? Mine is not going quite as planned but it’s okay. My daughter worked today instead of yesterday so we still woke up early. Of course it’s been a slower morning for the hubby and I. So today I am cleaning a bit after Card ClassContinue reading “Sunday is for resting and a little planning.”
