Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Fray Your Twine

 

I had lots of fun designing this card for a swap but needed the Baker's Twine to fill more space. 

So instead of using more, I just separated the twine by pulling out one or two strands. 

See how to make this card by visiting my old post when you click HERE!

Kiddin' Around Birthday Card for Swap

 

Don't you just love it when DSP (Designer Series Paper) does all of the hard work for you? 

I was able to quickly die cut 12 pieces of DSP from 2 sheets of 12" x 12" Just Kiddin' paper and make these cards for a Card Swap! 

I just layered up cardstock behind the DSP and die cut that rectangle piece from the matte. 

Did some Heat Embossing and make a Baker's Twine nest and POOF! 

12 cards ready to send for my swap, or 12 Birthday cards for the little kids in your life! Easy! 

The great thing is, you can get all of the products I used using the link below and earn Sale-a-bration items for FREE!

Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Don't Always Have to Use Memento Black Ink

 

Tueday's Tip at Ten!

When using Stampin' Blends to color you don't ALWAYS have to use Memento Black Ink! You can use ANY waterbased ink with your Blends.  I used Basic Gray for the ink in my card above because I wanted a "softer" look for a baby card. 

The trick it to NEVER use Stazon ink to stamp and then color with your Stampin' Blends. 

Just remember, opposites attract! 

Waterbased Ink = Alcohol Based Markers

Alcohol Ink (Stazon) = Waterbased Makers (Stampin' Write or Watercolor Pencils). 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Join me for my next Online Stamp Camp! To get more stamping tricks and tips from me! 

Use this link to sign up before February 7th.

Fun Fold Friday- Hooray for Surprises Birthday Card

 

Fun Fold Friday with the Hooray for Surprises Bundle! 

This Bundle is what is up next on my schedule of events for February! Scroll to the bottom to learn more about both of those events! 

The stamp set alone is PERFECT for Birthdays, but then add the dies and it makes every card an interactive surprise! 

The dies cut out a perforated shape (circles, heart, and strip). The allows the person getting the card a fun part for them to tear away and see the hidden message. 

Be sure to stamp the inside with a bonus greeting. There are so many to choose from! 

I added a little pull tag so that the person getting the card knows how to open up the secret spot. 

You can make this card by following the directions below but if you want to get kits from my in February you should sign up for my Card Class Club for $35 or my Birthday Stamp Camp for $50. 

What is the difference between Class and Camp? Class is videos and pdf with $20 worth of products. Camp is a online LIVE event, with $30 worth of product and gifts/swag! Both will have completely different designs!
