Jazzy Gator

By Cindy

 Hey kids!  It's Cindy and it's die-cut Monday.  I have a cute gator die-cut card with a cool stamping technique to share.  Did you all have fun at our launch party this weekend??  I sure did!  If you missed it, you still have time to check out the SBC Launch Blog Hop!!!! .

 TiP:  Flip your embossing folder over and deboss your die-cut for a fun, new look.

 
Recipe:
5" square cardbase in tan
DCWV - Shimmer stack - green and gold papers
Animal Antics Cricut cart - gator @ 3 1/2"
Cuttlebug folder - mesh texture (debossed)
Impression Obsession stamps - Happy Birthday set
pop dots


Stamping Technique:
To create the curved sentiment on this card:
1-cover the parts of the stamp you don't want to use with tape.
2- ink your stamp
3-peel your tape off
4- stamp
5- clean your stamp really well.
Repeat all steps as many times as it takes to create the look you're going for.

Thanks for stopping by today!  If you'd like to see more of my work please visit my blog In Love with PAPER!

I hope you have a blessed day!

Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you.

Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
