 Hello Everyone! In a previous post I had taken the leap to try making a Bridge Card, yes very much inspired by Jennifer McGuire! ...and I loved the outcome! But I saw that I was using all of those gadgets that we have collected... so I thought..... Lets make them but this time only using pattern paper! So Episode 12 of our Simplicity Series was created, LOL... Dig into those stashes of pattern paper and get to cuttin'... Want to give these are try? Here are the dimensions for your card base to cut!Portrait Card Base: Cut your card stock 5 3/4 inches (wide) x 5 1/2 inches (tall) and then you will score along the 5 3/4 inch side at 3/4 inches and then at 1 1/2 inches - turn your card stock and score the opposite end in the same manner Landscape Card Base: Cut your card stock 8 inches (wide) x 4 1/4 inches (tall) and then you will score along the 8 inch side at 1 1/4 inches and then at 2 1/2 inches - turn your card stock and score the opposite end in the same manner For more crafty details as well as a list of supplies used for this project, click on the video below!

For today's project let's create a Flip Book! Flip Books are a great way to capture those memories and it looks great on a shelf! To put this together I used the Fun Stampers Journey Flip Book Steel Rule Die in my Spellbinders Platinum Die Cutting Machine. After my pieces were cut out I started to assemble my Flip Book using liquid adhesive. I used the Stamp of the Month Kit (coordinating dies available separately), to embellished my book and then colored my images using the FSJ Color Burst Colored Pencil Set! Used 1 1/2 inch rings to bind my book and added ribbon tied in knots! Here is how you can get your kit TODAY!!! along with a little bit of inspiration to get you started...

For today's project let's create a faux die cut inlay technique... I love die cutting and paper piecing sections of the die back together... but sometimes there are just many pieces and it could take forever and a day to complete, LOL... and we all know usually we are pressed for time to create a card because we all wait until the last minute, right? With this technique, we can use the die itself and our die cutting machine to create the impression of the die... For today I made two examples, the first with just card stock and the other using a watercolor background... This die is a nice size and will fill a 5 inch x 7 inch card base!

The peg stamp I chose for today's project is called Color Me Beautiful and it is perfect if you love to color your images... I used my Gina K Amalgam Black ink to stamp my flowers and then chose some mini ink cubes for the greens and small flowers and just had fun stamping around my card stock to make sure it was filled in. I then grabbed my Watercolor Brush Marker and pen and colored my flowers in making sure to drag the color within the area. Once ,my panel was dry I used a plan card stock for a mat and adhered it to my Standard A2 size top folding card base. I die cut my sentiment five times to create a chip board piece and once in place I used my spectrum noir sparkle pen and Nuvo crystal glaze to highlight my sentiment!

Be Inspired, ENJOY, LAUGH and ALWAYS BE CREATIVE! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! I here today trying something completely out of my comfort zone! As I was scrolling around YouTube, catching up on all my videos, I watch a video by Jennifer McGuire and she had designed some Bridge Cards! I fell in love with them... So this post and video are completely inspired by her, thank you! But I must admit, I was very intimidated by the process... But someone in my group gave me challenge, so here it is!    What I found while making these cards was the ability to use what is in your stash! This was perfect for that... I found some great dies by Spellbinders that I have not even had a chance to use and they were perfect for the look I was going for! I even pulled in another technique she showed a few weeks ago and I will be trying that soon as well, so stay tuned! Want to give these are try? Here are the dimensions for your card base to cut! Portrait Card Base: Cut your card stock 5 3/4 inches (wide) x 5 1/2 inches (tall) and then you will score along the 5 3/4 inch side at 3/4 inches and then at 1 1/2 inches - turn your card stock and score the opposite end in the same manner Landscape Card Base: Cut your card stock 8 inches (wide) x 4 1/4 inches (tall) and then you will score along the 8 inch side at 1 1/4 inches and then at 2 1/2 inches - turn your card stock and score the opposite end in the same manner  For more crafty details as well as a full list of supplies used for this project, can be found in the video below!
