These cards with the March Housemouse of the month came out so cute, I don’t know which one I like best! The first one uses 2 textures of embossing folders. On Cor’dinations cardstock, when you lightly sand the image it stands out in a lighter color. You can order this cardstock at our on-line store. The next card features a unique diagonal layer and a banner with the words. And the third selection has a woven paper background and ribbon accent. If you choose to order the stamps and the kits for making all 3 projects, it is just $20. Go to our on-line store now. These make adorable Easter cards, spring birthday cards and thinking of you notes. We colored ours with Copic markers, but you could use watercolor pencils and a blender pen or Prismacolor pencils, gamisol and a blending stump. We included Copic cardstock in our kits. You can also order extra sheets at our store. Have to go now and get a yummy jellybean snack!
Two Textures Card
My Happy Place Card
Woven Background Card
For the Stamp Express birthday celebration on Saturday, June 26, I will be doing 4 demos of various techniques for cards. Below are two of the planned ideas. They were cased from Gina K on her Stamp TV site. The first is my version of cropped circles. Use layered die cuts from circle Nesties and after adhereing them to a layer, crop the edges. Of course you could try the same technique with ovals and other shapes. The second card has curly-Q hinges at the sides of an oval Nestie. The hinges are created with 4 swirly diecuts from Sizzix. I will also include two projects not pictured here. One is a paper lace flower using a Martha Stewart punch. The other is a distressed background made from an old book page. Come to the store Saturday and see these in person. If you are interested, but can’t make it, just e-mail me for further directions.
