Legos are for stamping.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Have you ever just sat and taken a minute to look around you? We are surrounded by texture, color, and so much more. Today’s find for me was in the toy box. A lego, a simple building block. I tookContinue reading “Legos are for stamping.”
Matching when you are not told.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is the day that we look past the catalog and figure things out. The catalog says that the Floral Essence stamp set coordinates with the Perennial Flower Punch.

How to get a vintage look.
It’s Technique Tuesday! There is an easy way to get a whitewash vintage look. Grab your white craft ink refill, an aqua painter, and a silicone mat.

Creating with the new washi tape.
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I am playing with some brand new product from the Pressed Petals Suite. The new washi tape with petals to go is awesome! So easy to use and if they are not stuck on straight the petals can be repositioned. Here’s the video on how to create a couple of cardsContinue reading “Creating with the new washi tape.”
Using negative space.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is the day I want you to think about using negative space. Negative space is when you cut something away and not keep adding more layers. This particular card doesn’t use negative space. So instead of cutting out the tree you could simply cut the tree shape out of the silverContinue reading “Using negative space.”
