A Year of Techniques- September Hop


No automatic alt text available.

Welcome to
Welcome to A Year of Card Techniques Blog Hop where each month we feature a different card technique. We’ve assembled a team of card makers who range from new to advanced, so you’ll see a great variety of cards and ideas.
Die Cuts are certainly popular in the crafting world and there are so many from which to choose. But they can be expensive, so we’re looking at additional ways in which we can use them; specifically, inlaid and lifted die cuts.   Hopefully, we’ll inspire you to try an idea or two that we’ve shared with you.
If you would like to check out our past technique hops, you can do that here:

So here is the project I did for the hop. I have never actually done this before. I was kinda shocked because it gives such an extra Mwah to the card, kwim?
Anywho, pulling out the Cricut, I made duplicates of the die cuts along with cutting out the box card. So this really was a simple project. Once the machine did all the work cutting, all I had to do was glue and stickle! So here are a couple of pics...



Hope you like it! Can't wait til next month!
Now you’re off to visit with Jodie. Hope you had fun and thanks for stopping by. See you next month with another fabulous technique!

Here’s the full line-up in case you get lost:

  3. The frame is such a good idea, and then using the leftover piece too, and making the pieces go together like that. REALLY nice - thanks!

  9. Great cards. I love the embossing on the frame and like how much time the Cricut can save you in making these types of cards.

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 ...
