Hi friends!  Sandy here for ScrapBook Blessings Club to share with you Tuesday's card project. We will be using die cut images and punches today.  First, I have my tip of the day for you... Organization make any project easier. One of my best investments recently is a spinning desk caddy for all my favorite and most used tools.  Now for today's tutorial project.... I did this quick video for you showing how to make a quick and basic shape card. So what do you think? Ready to make some great shape cards without all the fuss of welding and die cutting programs?  This is a great technique for beginners to try, and its a fast one for the more advanced card makers. Here is a close up of my border punch shape card... Here is a close up of my die cut image shape card... I hope your enjoyed today's project.

Hello, Friends!  Marilyn here for Scrapbook Blessing's Club Monday's Die Cut project.  Today I created some magnets for my refrigerator using the Cuttlebug Daisy Quilling Kit.  My tip for this project is to use the correct sized Cuttlebug plates.   You'll need the longer ones to make this go smoothly. Here is what is needed: Cuttlebug or other die cutting machine Cuttlebug Quilling Kit (I used the Daisy.  Other flowers are available) Cuttlebug 6" x 13" Plates.  Both C and B plates are needed. White Glue E-6000 Glue Magnets (I used .5 diameter magnets) Magnet Recipe: Die cut all pieces using different colored card stock.  The picture above shows all the different die cuts included in the Quill Kit. Start with the flower center.  The quilling tool is included in the kit.  Twirl around and around, adding white glue here and there along the way. Once the center is complete, continue with the next flower layer (...

Hi friends!  Sandy here for ScrapBook Blessings Club to share with you Thursday's product review. We will be looking at Wink of Stella and Signo White pens/brushes today.  First, I have my tip of the day for you....  It is okay to go back and re-look at projects you have already done. You never know, you might be able to "upgrade" or tweak them a little with new things you learn or have purchased. On to our video review. This one was done by me, and you might have to turn it up a little, I didn't realize that the mic was turned down, sorry. So what do you think? I am really loving the shimmer glitter that these brush pens give you and I swear by the Singo white pen. Once you go Singo, you'll never go back, lol!!! Here is my improved card for the Challenge #3 Triple Time Stamp card (which ends by Fri at midnight so you still have time to enter yours!!!)  Here is the best I could get with an up close shot of the glitter... I hope your enjoyed t...
