TIP:  When putting your supplies away after using them, remember where you put them.  My Stamp-m-jig for stamping a straight sentiment would be a handy piece of equipment to use in stamping the image so it would be straight. 

Lynne aka Her Craftiness
Tip: I purchased a nail brush at the dollar store which is phenomenal to wash my stamps and embossing folders as it get the ink out of the tiny crevices with no mess!

Jennyfer - Jennyfer Creates
Tip: You can wash your embossing folder with soap and water if the ink is reluctant to come out!
 It won't damage anything.

    Marilyn - Marilyn's Crafts

    

    Tip:  When embossing with text, only one side can be inked with this technique. 
    The other side will display the text as reversed.
    Cindy-  In Love with Paper
    TiP:  Ink the edges of your patterned paper layer, too!

     Sandy- A Working Mom's Joy
    TIP: Less is More!  Let your digi and technique do the talkin' for your card, 
    sometimes extra embellishments are just not needed!
     
     
     
    Teresa-Fresh and Renewed
     
     


    TIP: Put all your Christmas card making supplies in a basket to keep close at hand during the season of making cards.

    Tip: Using a baby wipe or makeup remover wipe works really well for cleaning your folders.

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun! Tools mentioned: Misti, Neehna Bright Cardstock, Distress Oxides, Ranger Dylusions die cut, In Love Art Shop word die cuts, ATG, Prismacolor Pencils, premade cards,Fiskars cutting blade and trimmer, Zig color pens, Wink Of Stella, Alcohol markers, t-ruler, Westcott 0 ruler, 6x6 paper pads, Versamark, EK Success powder tool, 3d Crystal Lacquer, Tombow adhesive, Momento/Hero Arts black ink, Cricut, Chameleon Black Pen, Pencil, Grid stamping block, etc. For the mont

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
