It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not normally! Today I want to talk to you about using your dies to create holes as accents. Yes, holes.

Borders Aren’t Just for Edges
It’s Technique Tuesday! Do you have an embossing folder that is busy and you don’t know what to do with it? Then use some extra dies to create something else.

Tuck and roll!
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today I am going to show you how to tuck something so it breaks up the pattern.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Sometimes you have to cut up a large stamp into pieces and then re-create it. I am calling this my eclectic picasso sunflower. It’s also another way to show off the new In Colors! Have you ever created something similar?Continue reading “Pieces and parts make a whole.”
Using dies as the centerpiece.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Today we are talking about letting the paper and dies shine through. Stamping doesn’t always have to be the center of attention, right? So today I am taking the Perfect Parcels Dies and picking that one detailed border die that I seem to never use. It was always too short or tooContinue reading “Using dies as the centerpiece.”
