In the Reeds

Today I'm featuring some Memory Box dies as well as Drifting Oak Leaves background stamp.

The white-on-white heat embossing creates a subtle background texture and Antique Linen Distress Ink and a marker is all coloring that is needed to give depth to this image.

Wishing Well

Today's project is a 3D Halloween desktop/mantelpiece decoration. I have created the base with the new Poppystamps Cottage Platform and Side Gates dies and then attached some die cuts to it. This way you can create any season decor depending on the images and colors you wish to add.

Making Larger Bags with We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board

Today's tutorial is about expanding your punch board to make larger gift bags than the board is meant to make. 
To do this we'll have to make the front and back sides of a bag (marked with red on a scheme) wider.
