Good day everyone! Earlier this July I taught the Faux Handmade Paper technique in one of my classes and I know that not everybody is comfortable with crumpling up a pristine sheet of card stock. You can pay a fortune for handmade mulberry paper, and you could quite easily create that handmade look at practically […]

Oh So Eclectic – Z fold card
We’ve had a lot of double “Z” fold cards recently, so I thought I’d go back to just the good old simple single Z fold one for this Fun Friday’s project. Hope you like it. Did you know that if you click on the pictures, it will take you direct to the item in my […]
