Rave Reviews on This Card

Copied straight out of the catalog, I have been getting rave reviews on this card:

I used the same technique we’ve done before, creating a wallpaper of background stamping.

Same idea masking off, too.

About the middle of last year I created some card stock pieces that help me figure out the sizes of the pieces that go into a card.

I use them ALL THE TIME!

I also used two tricks that I love when making a layered card front like this. First, I’ve used a stapler to capture all these layers together to stay in place forever. “Hurricane Proof” as you’ve heard me say in class a lot! Also, I know you want to adhere your vellum pieces without the adhesive showing, so I’ve used two strips of Tear and Tape adhesive hidden behind the green and white layers.

If you received a catalog from me, you received this card with my mini newsletter full of instructions on the layer measurements. This is the completed card:

If you are interested in making a few card stock pieces to help you with the layering, let me know. I’ve got some hints!

Sheltering Tree Swirly Bird Sunshine

Last month, when I made some "I Just Moved" Note Cards for my friend, they turned out so cute I decided to make a bunch more, and I'm calling them Sheltering Tree Swirly Bird Sunshine cards. There are three things I like about this card: 1. White panel is 3-3/4" x 5" which leaves 1/4"…

How to Create From A Favorite Style of Cards

I want you know how to create from a favorite style of cards because there are so many different variations from season to season, stamps that come and go, and occasions, too! This card starts with Very Vanilla thick card stock from Stampin’ Up! I love a card that feels kinda hefty in the hand….

Cookie Cutter Autumn

I love this little scarecrow in the Halloween stamp set, and made a Cookie Cutter Autumn set of cards and banners for my local stampers to have some fun with. The strip of Designer paper on the card to the left is only 3/4" wide, so we were able to get a LOT of…

Blue Plate Special

I’ve spent the full morning with business between Sizzix and Stampin’ Up! trying to solve the issue of our thick and 3D and Textured Impressions embossing folder, and there ARE SO MANY good folders out there. So, the short answer is found in your original tabbed platform! Sizzix sent me a video from 2018 when…

Progress On The House

Here's a little Progress On The House that we're building. I have to tell you that stanind in the space that will be the new studio is pretty darned exciting!
