I would love the sound of the waves, but not the crowds or price tag that comes with the beach. So for today I will give you a tutorial on a card thatContinue reading “When the ocean comes to the desert.”
Coordinating embossing powder with a background.
It’s amazing how a background pops when there is an accent that coordinates. In this case the Grapefruit Grove is subtly daubed on to the background.

I will be creating thisContinue reading “Coordinating embossing powder with a background.”

Inlaid cards with a bonus of kicking butt.
Today’s tutorial is on how to create this inlaid card. So let’s get to it. 🙂 Start with a card base cut tall instead of our regular. Instead of cutting at 5 1/2 inches cut instead at 4 1/4″. Then score at 5 1/2 ” and not 4 1/4″. Thick white is used here. ThenContinue reading “Inlaid cards with a bonus of kicking butt.”
