Easy- ATC

By

Over at Die Cutting Divas the current challenge is 

The Challenge...
Shimmer, Glimmer, Gloss

So, I created 3 ATC aka Artistic Trading Cards.  These are small one layer papers that are cut at 2.5x4
You can trade them away in swaps, but they are great for putting on layouts and cards as embellishments.  I decided to wet emboss each one and use my Stickles to give me the shine and sparkle I wanted.

I also used the Heritage Cart for my cut outs and Tim Holtz inks
(Spiced 
Marmalade, Walnut 
Stain, Stormy Sky, Spun 
Sugar, Shabby 
Shutters)
 for my backgrounds ALL three were done on plan white cardstock.



Also going to enter this in Twisted Tuesdays Challenges:

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.

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 ...
