Tip: When adding a gift card to the front you can use Zots (clear adhesive dots) to hold the card in place.

Carolyn - Granny Ma's Creations
 
Tip: when embossing, make sure you use your static-free 'pillow' to rub across card stock.  It does work to keep the embossing powder from sticking where it doesn't belong!

Cindy- In love with PAPER
TiP:  Glue down the front pocket to make it easier to embellish if you're not using it to hold the gift card.

Lynne aka Her Craftiness
Tip: as a sewing and quilter, measure twice and cut once

Sandy- A Working Mom's Joy
Tip: Use double sided paper. They usually coordinate and that way you can save time on layering when you have to make a bunch for the holidays.

Jennyfer - Jennyfer Creates
Tip: Do not hesitate to add a sentiment!

Marilyn - Marilyn's Cricut Crafts
Tip:  Put YouTube videos in your crafting tool box.
They are a great source of information and inspiration.

Teresa-Fresh and Renewed


Tip: You never know when you might need two of something: 
create a second of quick and simple projects.

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

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. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun! Tools mentioned: Misti, Neehna Bright Cardstock, Distress Oxides, Ranger Dylusions die cut, In Love Art Shop word die cuts, ATG, Prismacolor Pencils, premade cards,Fiskars cutting blade and trimmer, Zig color pens, Wink Of Stella, Alcohol markers, t-ruler, Westcott 0 ruler, 6x6 paper pads, Versamark, EK Success powder tool, 3d Crystal Lacquer, Tombow adhesive, Momento/Hero Arts black ink, Cricut, Chameleon Black Pen, Pencil, Grid stamping block, etc. For the mont

Building Block Graduation Card

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
