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
I’ve noticed that lace is a new embellishment for cards and scrapbook pages. Real lace is great, but paper lace can also be attractive. Just punch out paper with a border punch for this kind. Today I’m using real lace (get cotton lace as it adheres better). I attached mine with Scor-tape, but you can use the adhesive of your choice. It can be airbrushed with Copic markers or sprayed with Glimmer Mist to change the color. Here are two cards and I’m working on a page. Also notice that the buttons on the second card have matching thread. This is waxed dental floss colored with Copic marker. No more need to have all colors of thread!

Of course you could score with a ruler and stylus or bonefolder. But once you try the Scor-pal you’ll never go back. What a wonderful tool. You can fancy fold cards, make bags and envelopes, boxes, and folders easily. And the Score-tape holds everything in place without letting go in an hour, day, or week. Here is a card we created for our free make-it/take-it table at the store last week. We scored diagonally on a piece of Core’dinations cardstock in two directions, Then we sanded for an unusual background.
