Add Flock to your Card

By on June 25, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello, today I have a fun video share on how to add flock to your cards. I used some SUNSHINE yellow flock with a bananas stencil to create some fuzzy dimension.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

The great part about using flock sheets, is you get TWO panels you can use to create cards! See…here’s the first panel and then I used the negative piece to create another card, below:

Watch the video to find out just how this magic happens! Lol…it’s really fun to use these flock sheets. They can also be die cut! Oh, the possibilities!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Hello! Today I have a fun project and video to share. I am re-visiting a stamp set that I absolutely adore (Alice) and pairing it with a NEW layering stencil set called Hug in A Mug. I think together they create a great, fun, colorful card and I can’t wait to show you.

I have to say, these Alice sets are among my favorites in my crafty studio! I just love when I have new product to use with them. 🙂

Dandelion Dreams

Hello…today I have a fun foiling project using a new stencil called Dandelion Dreams. When I saw this stencil I just knew it needed to be foiled! I prepared a short video showing this easy foiling technique.





Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













I just love this stencil. I chose a little Wolf from the new Wolf Pack stamp set! He looks like he could be blowing on one of those dandelions, doesn’t he? Make a Wish!

SUNSHINE-Altenew-all-3-cards-Cartoon-Roses-and-Embossing-folders
It’s All About the Background
By  on May 20, 2022  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a different kind of card to share…instead of a focal point, it’s all about the background! I have three cards to share with fun and easy backgrounds.





I have a video sharing all the details of how to make these stunning backgrounds (and they are so easy!) Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













Sometimes you can find some paper that is just that gorgeous. Two of my cards today use paper that are just that!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





This background speaks for itself!! It looks like poured paint…something that would be difficult for me to create on a card panel myself. I didn’t alter this background in any way…and it still is the main element!






		
		
			
			
		
	





This card uses a stunning paper pack as well, but this time I used an embossing folder on it, too! It really steps up the background. All that is needed to complete this card is a sentiment and some gems!






		
		
			
			
		
	





My last card uses a stencil together with an embossing folder. I really love the layered look here…and it was also very simple!

Pretty Pansies

Hello! Today I’m excited to be up on the Maker Forte blog to share a set of cards with Pretty Pansies! I am using their new Layering Pansies stamp set to build up these flowers…and they turn out amazing. Check out the blog post HERE.





I also have a video showing you just how easy these flowers are to layer up with this set. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













I packaged these up as a gift set for my mom, who nearly cried with joy at opening them. You might remember that when my Dad died, we made a Pansy garden memorial for him (he LOVED pansies, which he learned from  his mom…my grandma).
