Old & New: Happy Birthday Die

I have a pile of unused Designer Series Papers (DSPs), and I know if I put them away, they will never get used! So I set out to turn the papers into cards. This set features the Festive Birthday papers and the brand new Happy Birthday die. What an easy way to make fun cards, appropriate for male or female of almost any age! I think you'll love using this new die as much as I do! You can order it on Thursday, June 1 after noon Mountain Time.

So get those papers cut into layers and ready to be USED!

Mixed Metallics with Brusho

Even though I have enough raw materials to make at least a thousand cards, I still find myself picking up boxes of fancy pre-made cards at the craft stores. I couldn't resist these mixed metallics cards because I knew I could add watercolor to them!

I sprinkled some Brusho powders (Orange and Leaf Green) onto the cardstock, then spritzed just enough water on them to get the color moving. I love how the colors mix and separate and make their own beautiful patterns!

Making a standard, store-bought item into a one-of-a-kind piece of art is so satisfying to me. Nobody else has cards that look like this, and that makes them extra special.
