Oh, Hello Thank You Card

Hello Everyone

Today's project features the Core'dinations Cardstock in Primrose Petals. I started by running it through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. Usually I would use no tabs, but in this case I used tab one on the Big Shot. This means that the embossing is extra deep and you can actually gently tear along the edges of the honecomb shapes to separate them, as you see below. I layered them up on Naturals White cardstock.

Using the Sanding System from Stampin' Up!, I sanded the top to reveal the lighter layer below and make the honeycomb pop.



The greeting and flower come from the Oh, Hello stamp set. I used the Decorative Label punch to create layers for the greeting.

Aviary Tag Card

Hello Everyone

This is a card I made with the oh-so-sweet Aviary stamp set. This stamp set features little birds and cages. 

For this card I used Pumpkin Pie for the card base, I cut a tag with the Two Tags die in Riding Hood Red and cut a strip of cardstock in Sahara Sand.

The Sahara Sand strip is stamped with the leaves image from the Confetti background set. I used Crumb Cake ink. The greeting comes from Petite Pairs.



How cute are those little birds on the envelope? Hope you like it.

Hole in One

Hello Everyone


This card features the Pennant Parade stamp set and Petite Pennant punch. There are so many different things you can make with these goodies.

To create the sky, I used two or three Scallop Circle cut outs as a mask and daubed blue sky across them, moving the cut out and daubing again.



Hope you like it. See you on Tuesday for my next video.

Tea for Two Rose Card

Hello Everyone

On Tuesday I posted a video featuring some tiny square swaps I was making. There are all sorts of things you can do with little squares of art like this, but I decided to use on on this card.

It goes so well with the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper. I also used the Victora Lace Trim and added a pearl to the middle of the flower and a little row of them under the square.


The greeting comes from Sassy Salutations, punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch and then layered on a shape cut with the Apothecary Accents die.

I hope you like it. Back on Sunday with something in a completely different style. :)

VIDEO Tiny Collage Curios Swaps

Hello Everyone

A bit of a different video today. This was for a swap I am taking part in. Everyone makes a tiny square of artwork...here is mine! These are just 1 3/8" squares.






Having filmed the video, I went ahead and made 20 - this is my assembly line...


And here they all are...


I hope my fellow demos like them. :) For a project using the one I created on the video, visit again on Friday.
