Painted Glass

I had to make a sympathy card recently, and the Graceful Glass 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Vellum from the Painted Glass Suite fitted the bill.  Sympathy cards are the kind of cards which you don’t want to make, because it means that someone near and dear has passed on and it’s hard […]

Treat Time!

I’ve been making sour cream treat containers for years, but still manage to get muddled up as to where I should put my tape for sealing it! Hooray!  Stampin’ Up! brought out a die that has different toppers to add interest to the humble sour cream container and they fit the main die frame like […]

Abstract Impressions Bundle

This is one of the cards I designed for my June class.  I love butterflies, and there’s a new shaped butterfly with the coordinating Abstract Impressions stamp set called the Springtime Impressions Thinlits dies.  For the video, I made it in Petal Pink.  Hope you like it! The one we did in class was in […]

Quirky Gate Fold with Lined Alphabets!

Hello Lined Alphabet Bundle!  Sounds ordinary, but the dies are far from ordinary!  This is a huge investment, but whoever designed the mechanics of how it works to prevent you from ever making foolish mistakes like die cutting it upside down is without doubt, an absolute genius!  Intrigued?  Read on! When it was showcased at […]
