Crisp Winter
This is AWESOME set for guys! I don't know about you, but I have a hard time on masculine cards. I used glossy accent for the moose and distress ink for the background. 

This was a fun one to do. It is a hybrid tag-card.  I embossed on a regular A2 card but then I cut the image following the arch. I made sure to leave room at the top for a whole punch. I really like how this worked out.

See you tomorrow for Day 3

    These came out so well Sandy. Love the two deer facing off - I can hear their racks clashing now! Cool sponging and rain effect too. On the second - I love your idea of cutting around the stamp to make a shaped card - brilliant! Hugz

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 ...
