My garden chair

By
Hi everyone, I have a question for you. Am I the only one that find making cards for men hard? I swear, I tried, lol. I made this one for my dad. The image and sentiment are just perfect for him. And then I go and blow it! I get a flower ribbon, lol.  

MY CARD TIP: Break up your stamp set to make a nice picture.
(Stamps used: Mark's Finest Paper and Stamps)

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day.

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.
