Marks Finest Papers- June Blog Hop: Gear Up

By


Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company

June Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are


 Featured  June 10
Gears To You &Gear Up

So I did something different to me. I wanted to do one layer cards, meaning just using the stamps and no other embellishments.

For my first card, I did a line masking technique so I can put on my sentiment over my background without needing another piece of card stock.  You can't tell with the picture but I used glossy accents on all the black, I love how this turned out in person!

My second card I did the same using glossy accents. Turned out great. I wanted to use tan cards stock but next time I think I am gonna stick with white.


Hope to see you back for some more projects on these dates:

    Many have already said this, but the gloss really adds a lot to the gears.

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 ...
