Let's get started !!

Featured stamp set is "Cardinal 2014"

(Cardinal mini set is one of my all time favorites)

I really, really, really like the way this card came out. I think I found my 2015 Christmas design, lol.

Tips:
* Color Pencils are one of the easiest and most forgiving coloring tool especially when needing to do a LOT of coloring.

*to adhere ribbon to a card without puckering, just run a tape gun along the back and stick it down

* to make a card pop, use matting, double matting helps
 with the wow factor

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.

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 ...
