Here's a fun one! Libby and I CASEd this pin-> link. I changed the colors, trim and die cut arrangement. It is amazing how many multiples of three make this card.
and me being a...
Today's project is a birthday card for my father-in-law. He has received many cards from me over the years and this year I wanted to try out a humorous card. I colored the goat using very light alcohol markers. Stampin' Up! carries a line of markers but they do not go light enough for the coloring I had envisioned so I used the following Copic markers:
N00, N02 & R000 - If you have...
I love this DSP! Likely my love for it is enhanced because it ISNT fall, winter or Christmas theme. The video is pretty short and walks through two very simple techniques that stretch your supplies and add impact to your projects.
Here's the first video of the year! Welcome to 2021. I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable New Year's Eve. We hung out playing computer games and listened to the wind, rain and fireworks. This is a short video sharing two cards and a funny story. I promise a link to my easel tutorial. - here it is: https://youtu.be/ItnPH5x3dZw
The kit for November didn't really work well for me. It wasn't that it featured gingerbread, or that it was a tags based kit. It did not have enough variety for the type of cards I like to make. I think I did well with the alternatives in the end.
so, when I saw the bear in the sneak peek I was sure it would be a repeat of last month. Boy was I surprised. It is a card kit with three...
The final episode is in the books. I did not skip a single week of this new series. I was determined to make videos every week until the end. Questions I answer in this video. Did I make enough cards? Did I have any parts and pieces leftover? Did I finish all the cards? And of course, did I use all of the materials I purchased for making holiday cards. Check the video out for the answers. This...
Wow, the time has flown. Today's episode is the second to last one for 2020! What a fun experiment this has been. I've never, ever started my holiday cards so early even though I have always wanted to. Thank you for joining me on this journey. I will be taking a short break and will jump back in to holiday cards one Wednesday a month starting in January. Expect to see it after Valentine's....
This week I explore two more curvy die cards. Each one uses a different DSP. I did use a pin as inspiration for the first card -> pin link. For this project I stayed away from what I typically make, so no vertical and no Real Red or Shaded Spruce (these are my go to Christmas colors).
The second project is...
This month's Paper Pumpkin kit was again loaded with supplies. This kit was still a challenge for me because of a few factors. First the colors are non traditional Christmas colors. Second, the focals were all one type (a house) rather than a variety of shapes. Finally, I felt a key sentiment was missing. In the end what all this meant was that I had to get creative and isn't that was crafting...
