Video of the Sanding Technique

 Here's a quick video of the Sanding technique. Also a quick peek at the new cutting and embossing machine. 

Old Technique New Product

I love techniques, they add so much to a card and sometimes it is really easy. Take these cards. I used the Flowers for Every Season Memories and More Cards and Envelopes. Since the card stock has a white core it was perfect. First I cut one of the card bases in half so I can have two pieces of card stock to play with. One will have a rectangle with white dots and the other will be plain. Using the plain piece of card stock I ran the Dandelions 3D embossing folder through the big shot. Then with one of the sanding blocks that Stampin Up used to sell I sanded the Misty Moonlight and revealed the white core. I love how much fun it adds to the card without a lot of effort.

What inspires you?  My daughter inspired this card, when she was little she never wanted us to mow the yard because she loved the yellow dandelions. She had, and still has the best heart,best kid ever.

This one I used the Just Jade and then a piece  Pool Party card stock  zipped through the big shot with the new embossing folder Wrapped in Texture from the Aug-Dec. holiday mini. Then I used the biggest stitched rectangle I added a little more texture. Look at that luscious ribbon, its from the Gilded Autumn Suite and its Mint Macaron Basket Weave. it feels beautiful.

Birds and Branches Card in a Box-Take 2

Sometimes you have to try more than once when you are creating. The first card all the colors just didn't please my eyes. Do you ever try to force something to work together and it just doesn't go. If that happens don't be afraid to try again. Go back to the drawing board until you like it.

These colors make me happy, I love a little pool party mixed with mint macaron along with the crushed curry and so saffron. Had to throw in a little calypso coral on the birds belly.

Added a little embossing on the back and a place to write your friend a note. Leave me a comment if you would like to join my Online Card Class. I will post the others cards and dates for the class soon.

Birds and Branches Card in a Box

I used the Birds and Branches bundle as well as the Arrange a Wreath and Celebrate Sunflowers. I'm not quite sure if it's a keeper yet.
