A Year of Techniques- September Hop

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.

Zig Zag cards

Hi everyone, Sandy here for a fun and very cute card folds that I did using the June's Flavor of the Month Card Kit.  I did 3 different card folds for my Scrapbook Blessings Club online class. I love how easy it was to embellish by using the Card Kit. This kit really does have everything you need, just add adhesive!  The most cards I have done so far is 24 with some scraps left over.   Which one do you like best? So here are the 3 class cards together, all embellished with Flavor of the Month Card Kits including papers, stickers, die cuts, and stamps. First card is the easy Z Fold Card. Then we bump it up to card #2 with is a Tri-Fold Card. #3 We went with an Stair Step Accordion Fold Card. Lastly, I threw in this card that I made for the Scrapbook Blessings Club Monthly Challenge which is Step Cards for June. Did I mention how much I love working with these kits?!?!?! Thanks everyone for stopping by.  Now make sure you click abov...

Hello Friend

Hi everyone, Sandy here for a fun and very cute project that I did with Cute Critter stamp set from Sugar Pea Designs So for todays project, I wanted to do some coloring and I knew that these stamps would be great. But this time I wanted to use the coordinating metal dies that go with the set. It comes with 4, one for each critter. Plus have them peaking out from the square frames. I did add washi tape to the side of the frame and pop it up off the card base. Here is a little more closer of a look. I used the sentiments in the set and I LOVE them!!! Using a fine black marker pen, I added the dash areas because I thought there was just a little too much open white space between them. The green heart is Nuvo Crystals. I just did 2 tear drops and met them in the middle to get a heart. Thanks everyone for checking out a very easy colored card project. Now make sure you click HERE to head over to the store where you can find the materials that I used. I will list t...

How to: Pocket Page Collages // Gray Florals

Have you ever wanted to use all of the photos you took at a birthday party, a get together, or on a vacation? Today I am sharing with you simple tips on how you can include several photos of lesser importance on one page. Photo collages are an easy way to accomplish this. I also show you how to balance out the other side with a simpler layout design. Let's dive right in! I find that I always tend to do page collages when it comes to vacations. We take photos of so many things while on trips that don't have a lot of importance other than we saw it on the trip. This page is when we went to the zoo during our Pittsburgh Trip! I loved taking photos of all of the animals, but didn't want to include every single one of them. This is a great way to include some favorite without taking up too much room in the album. I go through this in more detail during the video. Enjoy! Some key takeaways from this project is to keep it simple. Photo collages can some times be ve...
