Lucky St. Patrick’s Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!   I created another card with some paper braiding (which I still need to make a video for–I demo’d this at CTMH’s Annual Convention last summer and promised to make a “how-to” video; time has just slipped by!)  Love how it makes the trendy chevron pattern when you do it!   … Read more Lucky St. Patrick’s Day

Smitten Valentine’s Card

by

Another card made using this month’s stamp of the month–Happy Valentine’s.  Pretty simple.  The only real time intensive portion was on the cracked glass technique on the rose.   The cracked glass technique is really quite simple if you are familiar with heat embossing.  At its core, it’s simply creating layers of clear embossing on … Read more Smitten Valentine’s Card

Owl Whooo’s Your Valentine Card

Working with the papers contained in the Whooo’s Your Valentine Kit I created this card (well, I had to add some Slate CS, but otherwise all the other cardstock–even the glitter paper were in the kit!) I also utilized our Silver Metallic Marker and Black Sparkles.
