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.

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.”

Negative space is a good thing.
We all know how to use a punch. We know that you can pop them up, use them for gift tags, stretch them out by cutting them in half, etc. But did you know that punching something out and leaving the hole can also be a great focal piece. Join me tonight on Facebook LiveContinue reading “Negative space is a good thing.”
