Hey kids!  Cindy back on the SBC blog today.  I've got a fun fold birthday card to share with you.  It's the Joy fold and it's also the optional twist on our current challenge.  You can view that post and also enter the challenge here . TiP:  Don't be afraid to try new folds.  They are fun to make and to receive :-)  Cut your cardstock to 6 1/4 x 4 1/4".  I will refer to this one as the base .  Cut another at 6 x 3".  I will refer to this one as the flap .  Score the base piece @ 4 1/4".  Score the flap @ 3".   Fold them both on the score lines.  (sorry about this pic)  Attach the flap in the center of the bigger side of the base as shown.  And this is what it looks like closed.  Easy peasy, right?!!

Hey kids!  Cindy back on the SBC blog with a fun card.  I'm using a Cuttlebug embossing + folder that not only embosses but cuts at the same time :-)  This one is called Fanciful Labels : I've cut one out.  As you can see it's embossed, too :-) And the finished card using the label.

Hey kids!  Cindy back on the SBC blog today!  So, who is ready for summer?  I am :-)  I've got a cute summer home décor project to share with you. TiP:  Use things in nature to enhance your projects if possible. I recently found some cute little frames in the $3 dollar bins at Michaels.  I had a teal one and wanted to use it but the color was a bit bright.  So, I painted the frame with white Acrylic paint and then wiped some of it off before it dried for a more distressed look.  Isn't that sweet Scuba Bear the cutest?  He comes from Meljen Designs who is one of our fabulous sponsors!  Recipe: Frame approx. 4" x 5" DecoArt white acrylic paint Core'dinations paper- teal color Meljen's Designs - Scuba bear watercolor pencils Glossy Accents (used to make bubbles and to make his mask shiny) Tim Holtz sanding tool Cuttlebug embossing folder - musical flourish Life is a Beach Cricut cart - seaweed @ 1", 1 1/4" Sand...

Hey kids!  Cindy back on the SBC blog today to share a product review.  I'm playing with resistable paper and Color Shine today.  This is my first time trying out both of these products.  TiP:  Keep a roll of paper towels handy.  It's going to get messy....LOL! Supplies: Heidi Swapp Color Shine - teal, primrose Pink Paislee - Artisan Wings- resist-able paper (8x8) Pink Paislee- Artisan Wings - resist butterflies craft mat Color Shine is cool!  Shake it until you hear the little ball--like a spray paint can.  Press the pump sprayer all the way down and use sweeping strokes across your paper/embellishment/ribbon.    It's easy to get carried away.  I think I may have used a bit too much.  Let it sit on your paper for a few seconds.  Then wipe away the extra with your paper towels. Most of it wiped off...oops!  Live and learn, right?  LOL!  But look how pretty.  And it was so easy!...
