First Butterfly of Spring

With a bunch of nice dies you don't really need a lot of other supplies to make a card. Here is the one I created with just some white and ivory cardstock, a piece of vellum and one shade of ink.

By the Deep Blue Sea

Odds and ends is what this shadow box project is all about - pieces of old rotten wood boards, sea shells, some hemp strands, rocks from the garden, a stick left from a lollipop, a couple of old beads and nails... I only had to add some pattern paper and a couple of die cuts and put it all together with the glue gun! 

The VIDEO TUTORIAL is here, too!

Q&A: Scoring Edges of Cardstock

Rounding the edges of cardstock on a scoring board is the technique I do quite often. I also got a lot of questions about why and how I am doing this.

In this short video I explain this simple technique in details - so let's have a closer look!

Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting!
