Blushing Beautiful You


I bought this set, Beautiful You, months ago! It took me awhile to work up the courage to play with it. And then, it was so easy and--you guessed it--beautiful! I shouldn't have waited, and you shouldn't either!

I stamped the image and greeting in black, and then added a few pearls and die cuts in Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper. Perfect birthday cards for the beautiful women in my life.

What do you do with reinkers?

Reinker, or ink refills, can be really important to maintaining even color on your ink pads. But for more fun, try using them on their own! Here's a fun technique using shaving cream!




You can make many, many cards with one batch of shaving cream, and they'll all be different!

Sending Sunshine!


After a record-breaking winter, we are ready for some sunshine! These two cards started with a panel of Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Sale-a-bration. My daughter Sarah agreed to color it for me, and then I couldn't decide how to use it. It sat on my desk for a few days until I realized I wanted to die cut a word out of it and fill in the hole with fun foam!

I had originally intended to put the cut word back on top of the foam, but the blue just seemed perfect on its own. There are two layers of blue fun foam on the right card. And our Thinlits and Framelits cut through fun foam easily! Remember those white clouds?

Then, of course, the puzzle of what to do with the die cut word. Certainly, it deserves to be used, right? After lots of experimentation, I chose a layer of Pear Pizazz behind a Kraft embossed layer. Again, I cut two layers of white fun foam, then adhered them together and added the Inside the Lines layer to the top. If you use self-adhesive fun foam, it's even easier.

Remember that all the Sale-a-bration items are while supplies last! Don't miss out on your favorite.
