Today’s card is a tiny bit different as it is a bit of a conglomeration of ideas. First, I started with a colored base, a new color at that. The color is called Granny Apple Green. And then I cut it long ways instead of the “normal” way. I then took a piece of whiteContinue reading “An alternate to a kit.”

Freezing punches.
So you have done it! It…the enchanting word “it”. You have managed to jam that cardstock into that punch and it won’t come out. The springs are stuck and nothing is working. You have dropped it gently on to the table, floor, or whatever other hard surface you have. And those springs won’t budge! IContinue reading “Freezing punches.”
Simple details to complete a card.
It’s amazing to me how a different color of cardstock or a different pattern of designer series paper can make a card look so different. Paper can make a card or project appear masculine, feminine, or somewhere in between. So before you throw away that project that just doesn’t seem to want to come togetherContinue reading “Simple details to complete a card.”

Ideas for giving back.
Today’s Friday again and it’s time to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I don’t know about you but sometimes I seem to run out of ideas or just feel like it is a routine since I do the same thing. So I want to give you some ideas and see if itContinue reading “Ideas for giving back.”
Tiling on Father’s Day.
Here’s a card for you just in time for Father’s Day. It uses the technique I call “tiling”. Here are the directions. Get a card base (thick white used here)(5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″). Cut wood texture mat at 5 1/4″ x 4″. Cut old olive strips at 5 1/4″ x 1/4″ and 4″ xContinue reading “Tiling on Father’s Day.”
Making something smaller is often helpful.
You’ve heard that if you have a huge project to do that you should break it up into smaller chunks to get it done. This also prevents feeling overwhelmed. The same is true with our stamping products. Just recently I cut a shammy into smaller pieces. This is so when I use the Stamparatus IContinue reading “Making something smaller is often helpful.”
Tiled stamping.
This is probably the only time you will hear me say this. Punch first and then stamp. Yes, punch first. Then lay your punches end to end and stamp as if it was one piece. This will create a tiled look. Stay tuned on Thursday to see the finished card. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers,Continue reading “Tiled stamping.”
