If you are still working on Christmas cards, here’s a quick way to make multiples. Or, use the layout with any patterned paper to make a fun design for any occasion. This layout worked especially well with the Traditions of St. Nick paper because I was able to fit a St. Nick in the left […]

Decorative Mask AKA Stencils

Posted: Wednesday, December 6th, 2023 @ 8:00 am in Projects | No Comments »

Note: I kept postponing this blog post because the Abundant Beauty Masks were perpetually out of stock. Well, they are back, but retiring at the end of the month, so this is your last chance if you don’t already have them! Stencils have really blossomed lately in the crafting world lately, especially ones with layering. […]

I love how this simple technique adds a big impact by maximizing the beautiful scenery papers by Stampin’ Up! Check out my VIDEO too.

I thought these beautiful line images from Stampin’ Up! would be just the thing to set off the gorgeous new Tartan Foil Designer Series Paper for some fall cards. I’m not an expert on coloring with Alcohol Markers, but it was so easy using the light and dark (on shading lines) Stampin’ Blends to color […]
