Christmas card making in July is always a great idea. Winter is upon us so the weather is perfect for it. It’s exactly what we did for our July Catch-Up. We used the stamp set called Christmas Season on the day and each attendee also took it home. One of the projects was the card […]

Here’s how: First, you’ll need a piece of 4 x 11-1/2 inch Basic White Thick Cardstock. Fold it in half and use this score line to form the roof. Measure 1-1/2 inch out from the […]

Card Folder Technique

Card Folder Technique is something I came up with because I wanted to make a simpler version of a flower pot card. I love it when the receiver can take the card apart and reuse it in other ways. For instance, this can be repurposed as a cute folder. And here’s how it looks like […]

Let’s make a Dino Days children’s card. Isn’t it cute? I love how playful this stamp set is. It also comes with coordinating dies to cut out the dinosaurs. Check out that egg die. When you cut it twice and attach a brad, you can make a hatchling pop-up card (refer to the photo above). […]

Neutral inks are gorgeous when used in cardmaking. They are perfect for neutral-gender cards. They are elegant and the colours are appealing to the eyes. Early Espresso and Night of Navy are great alternatives for black ink when stamping words and greetings. Stampin’ Up! Neutrals are made up of varying shades of grays and browns. […]

Magic Slider Cards

alpha — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 11:54:57 +0000

Magic slider cards are super fun. If you’ve seen tutorials on slider cards, chances are you’ve come across the ones that use plastic sheets. The problem with that is, it’s so slippery to stamp on plastic. More often than not, the images come out messy or smudgy. So, I rummaged through my card stock pile […]

A step panel card consists of a base and a step. It folds flat and fits a regular size envelope. It’s a fun way of making cards and a lovely way to show off beautiful Designer Series Paper (DSP). Here’s how I made my card: Trim your A4 cardstock lengthwise in half. Score every 1-1/4 […]
