Where a block becomes a straight edge.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today’s post I give credit to Lisa Hull. Thank you Lisa for showing me a new way to do things with what is already on the table. Today I am using a clear block to rip the tear tape onContinue reading “Where a block becomes a straight edge.”

Ink with embossing folders.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is the day that we use our stamp pads in a totally different way. Take your ink pad and open it just like you would when you are stamping. Then apply ink to your embossing folder. Pay attention to what side you are inking. If you want the ink on theContinue reading “Ink with embossing folders.”

How to get back control.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest and re-charge. I don’t know about you but I need this day. I need a day to focus on me. Just one though.

Giving back locally.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Today’s topic is very close to home. In fact it lives in my home and has since I got married. It’s band life. Jazz, marching, choir, dixie, rock, ska, drum line, swing, metal…you name it I bet it’s beenContinue reading “Giving back locally.”

Back to school card.

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today is the day we sing “inch worm, inch worm…”. Did that just play in your head? As everyone is getting ready for back to school (unless you have survived it) I am going back to the drawing board. Today’s card has a chalkboard or blackboard for the mat. I thought aboutContinue reading “Back to school card.”

Scoring is not always for folding.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today we are using the scoring tool to not create a fold. Instead the embossed image will be for texture or emphasis. So grab your trimmer, stylus and a ruler, or your score board and start scoring with me. HappyContinue reading “Scoring is not always for folding.”

Using Memories & More to Meet in the Middle!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Sometimes you are trying to create a quick card and it just doesn’t seem to come together. You don’t want to cut another piece of card stock but all your scraps are just a bit too short. Then grab some Designer Series Paper or a Memories & More scrap and place itContinue reading “Using Memories & More to Meet in the Middle!”
