Mirror image.
I know we’ve talked about this before but I love this new technique that I have discovered. It’s how to make a mirror image with the silicone mats. Take whatever you are stamping and stamp on the mat instead of your cardstock. Then flip on to your cardstock and rub to transfer. You will getContinue reading “Mirror image.”

Correction for brusho sealing technique.
I was wrong. You heard me. I was wrong. Now you know I’m not perfect (if you didn’t already know many times over). Last week’s tutorial for the new brusho product was not completely accurate.

With the border embossing folders it makes it easy to emboss almost anywhere. So grab a bag and emboss away. Here’s a coupleContinue reading “Embossing on more than cards.”
Dragons and mirrors.
I just figured out an easy way to create a mirror image. You will need a stamp, ink pad, cardstock, and your silicone mat. Next ink your stamp and then apply to your silicone mat. Take your cardstock and set over image. Make sure not to bump or move as this will result in aContinue reading “Dragons and mirrors.”
Tags are for more than bags.
Tags can be used for more than tying on a gift bag. They can also be used as card candy (accent or embellishment pieces for cards). So the next time you have a tag that doesn’t seem to go with anything make it a card! The designer series paper, punches, and stamps are from theContinue reading “Tags are for more than bags.”
Boxes, favors, and sweets.
Today’s tutorial is brought to you by the Lots to Love Box Framelits. So let’s jump in! Pick your cardstock that you want to cut.
