VIDEO TUTORIAL: Dazzling Dryer Sheet Holiday Sparkle
October 30, 2012 by
Put a little "bounce" in your holiday cards! And by Bounce, I mean dryer sheets...really. Re-use and re-cycle right? This card is simply breath-taking in person, and gets more compliments than any other in my displays. Catch my quick video tutorial below to see how to recycle your dryer sheets into something gorgeous.
VIDEO TUTORIAL: Foliage Masking Beauty
October 26, 2012 by
Check out this beauty with a "faux layer" adding depth and dimension to a simple card. This card was inspired by my friend Lynsay Mahon. Recently, Lynsay and I were challenged to design a "2 layer" swap card for Stampin' Up! Founders Circle. It sounds easy enough to do, but sometimes we think in "layers" (like an onion) and designing a "simple" card was quite the challenge lol. As you can see, simple can be gorgeous! A few more tips included in this video are: shimmer mist spritz (for sparkle and shine) and using the brayer to make a matching envelope.

"If I only had a brain...." ~ Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz
This scarecrow is so stinkin' cute, he doesn't need the "brains" to look good! Fill him up with goodies and he's a candy treat box that's the perfect gift this Fall / Halloween gift season. Also makes great party favors. Check out today's video tutorial for a quick and fun box made from the Stampin' Up! Fancy Favor box and Top Note dies and a few punches, along with some tips.
Inspired by my friend Regina Maginnis, watch the video for a fun story about Regina and the Big Shot she used to make this box.

Holiday Framelits fun with Ribbon
October 18, 2012 by
At first glance, you may miss the coolest part about this super fun card...the Holiday Framelits shapes (Christmas tree, Candy Cane and Gingerbread man) were all made out of ribbon! Then they were outlined with the White gel pen for a cool effect.
The ribbons were attached with our fabric adhesive, then cut. Very fun!!!
