How to emboss on foil cardstock.
Dry embossing on foil cardstock can be a little tricky unless you like the cracked, distressed look. I found to take at least one of the cutting plates out of the stack or sandwich and shim it with a few pieces of cardstock works the best. Basically when you start to push the stack throughContinue reading “How to emboss on foil cardstock.”
Embellishments in disguise.
Embellishments are not just to pretty things up. Sometimes they are used to hide a fingerprint, smudge, or even a glue dot. In yesterday’s class a crafter used a glitter enamel dot to hide the bump from a glue dot. Don’t think your card is ruined until you have tried everything. Happy Crafting! With inkyContinue reading “Embellishments in disguise.”
Embellishments as the focal point
On a card there is usually a focal point. There is usually something that catches your eye. It can be a technique, a decorative paper, movement, or even something as simple as an embellishment. For this card the technique is fairly simple except that the “o” is heightened by an embellishment also known as aContinue reading “Embellishments as the focal point”

Thinking and doing…
Today is the day we focus on giving back or paying it forward. I want you to think about something…what is the difference between thinking and doing? One is internal and the other is external. One involves something that happens passively and the other requires action. I want to encourage you today to act onContinue reading “Thinking and doing…”
Orchids, accents, and blender pens.
We recently created an orchid card to coordinate with the paper potted orchids. This card was a combination of quite a few techniques. So I guess we should get started with a photo and then some directions. First, figure out your words. Depending on how large the sentiment is will depend on which way theContinue reading “Orchids, accents, and blender pens.”
Tear tape is for more than projects.
Sometimes you find a use for something that is not how it is supposed to work at all. Did you know tear tape holds stamps together? The other night I was stamping with a few crafters that had dropped in for a class. The rubber decided to separate from the cushion of the stamp.
