Anything Goes...Literally!!!!

By
I usually make my cards in the evening at the dining room table.  My kiddos will pop by throughout the night and occasionally they want to help mama.  So tonight I just didn't have any inspiration and was about to put my things away when my 7 yr old came by and wanted to make a card.  I said sure and let her pick out some papers that she liked, some bling, and she wanted to stamp.  When I saw what she picked out, I thought "oh boy" what a mess!!! LOL! So with some guidance from mama...okay... a LOT of suggestion from mama, here is what we came up with...

She even took the picture!  Not bad for my crafter-to-be! Overall, I think it looks great, just not sure about the pattern papers, but I would never tell her that!!!

So in honor of Paper Playtime and their "Anything Goes" challenge... I give you this creation where truly anything went, lol!

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. 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 ...
