Marks Finest Papers August Blog Hop- Day 2

By


Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company

August Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are

So glad you stopped by for day 2! Today we are showing off the Hydrangea stamp set!
I soooo wanted to try to dolor on kraft paper. So here is my first attempt, and I really like it! I used my Prismacolor pencils and I love the texture that I got on the paper. I need to work a little on shading but over all, I think I am hooked!
My Card Tip: Don't be afraid to try something new. It may be your next favorite technique.
 (or a flop, "ahem"....Fabar Castell Gellatoes, lol), but you gotta try!

See you tomorrow for our next day!

    I hope you're not calling this a flop. Love the colour you have in those flowers - had to come over from MFP for a closer look!

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.
