An Early Christmas Start!

Hi, Teresa here today to get you inspired to get started early on those Christmas projects/cards/layouts. I have a card I did right toward the end of the season last year which I will be extremely excited to send out this year. I typically do not come up with one design and make a whole bunch of the same card....my ADD mind just could not handle doing the same card over and over again. So,I come up with all kinds of designs and try out many new techniques while creating Christmas cards.

I used pewter distress spray stain to "tint" some embossing paste and also sprinkled in some fine glitter to create this tree. I used a homemade Christmas tree stencil. I used a star stencil and some gold and white embossing paste for the stars. I then stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and used ultra fine WOW white embossing powder to heat emboss the sentiment. Sorry but I do not remember at all what paper I used.

I hope your enjoyed today's project too. If you have a questions or suggestions, please leave it in the comments. Also, you can join up to our Facebook group: Scrapbook Blessings Club for more fun, games, inspiration, tips and techniques. Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day! SBC Design Team Member

Building Block Graduation Card

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 ...
