Our wonderful designer, Tara, has created the cutest card! Tara says: “I used a Hero Arts heart infinity die to cut through all three pieces of my card front.  On the back side of the card front, I put down some ATG strips and some Perfect Paper Adhesive and placed a piece of tulle on top.  I allowed that to completely dry before putting a few embellishments from 28 Lilac Lane Hello Cupcake kit (LL101).  This kit has mint, pink, and white sequins, seed beads, and buttons that matched my patterned papers well.Then, I laid another piece of tulle on top of...

Bre really showed off her creativity with this Slimeline Card, by combining 2 holidays in 1!   Bre says: “I thought the Pink Paislee collection, Lucky Us, was perfect for a Valentine’s day card but to also be able to use St. Patrick’s Day products. I used a die to die cut a scalloped rectangle and a xoxo border layer piece. I then die cut two shamrock pieces and used little green buttons to give the shamrocks some dimension. I used some ephemera pieces to decorate the front of the card and stitched on the lucky ephemera piece with green thread (using...

Guest designer Justin wows us with this “I Love You” Card, just in time for Valentine’s Day!   Justin  says: “When I saw the Love  Story kit, I just knew it contained all the pieces that I needed to use, to  embellish a big and bold Valentine’s Day card! Using a heart-shaped stencil, I ink-blended a heart using pink and red dye inks to really give it some dimension. I heat embossed the sentiment “I Love You” (which, at the end of the day, is just one of the most classic Valentine’s Day sentiments you can use) in black embossing powder....

How awesome is this little heart banner that Jennifer Levy made?! This is such a cute and simple way to decorate!  Jennifer suggests: “Use your buttons to create festive banners for walls, hutches, and tiered trays.”   We love the simplicity and the creative use of buttons and embellishments on this one!  Thanks Jennifer.

One of our guest designers, Justin, made the most magical mermaid card! Justin Says: “I have really found a love for ink blending underwater scenes, as I find blues and greens so calming to work with. I decided to make a shaker card using a super fun mermaid that I colored up with Copic Markers, and I also gave her a fantastic blue to lime green hair ombre! I decided to use the Peacock Feathers Premium Sequins as my shaker elements. Even though the mix contains feather shapes, I felt like this mix just gave that perfect underwater/seaweed vibe that I was...
