OMG, I'm in love 😍 with the Pretty Pillowbox dies! I'm not sure I've ever played so much with a packaging die as I have been with these.
I've created a little video to show you a few tips and tricks for using them, as well as some samples I've made for Halloween. Take a look:
So what do you think? Aren't they the cutest? And depending on the paper or cardstock you use, the uses are endless!
Pick up a set of these wonderful dies now, and have some fun!
My Cards-by-Mail last month included a Blending Brush so my customers could create some pretty backgrounds for their stamped images. Today I got a comment from one of them noting that she wished she could have seen me demonstrate the Blending Brushes in person.
That got me thinking...and creating...I decided to make a little video with tips on how to use the brushes. But I needed a card to demonstrate, so:
A simple little card using Love of Leaves and the Stitched Leaves dies. AND the Blending Brushes!
I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock and added ink with the brushes - Mango Melody, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green.
Then, using the dies, I cut out the leaves, creating some multi-colored pieces.
The greeting was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut with the Tailor Made Tags dies.
Such a cute little card!
Here's the video on how to use the Blending Brushes:

Welcome to another Merry Monday! This week I have an easy, but striking, card with very little stamping.
Yes, black is an unusual color for a holiday card, but I thought it would really make the foil ornaments pop! Do you like?
I started by cutting two of the ornaments from the Gingerbread dies using Basic Black for the "under" part and the Red & Green Foil sheets for the overlays.
I also embossed a piece of Basic Black using the Merry Melody embossing folder for some added texture on the front.
And look at that shiny greeting! The Stamparatus worked well to stamp the words from Christmas to Remember in Tuxedo Black ink, then stamping them again using Versamark, before heat-embossing with Clear Embossing Powder. So pretty!
The last card we made in my September card classes was an easy, but fabulous, card:
Black and white - what is more classic? And perfect for so many occasions!
For this card, because we were using the Nature’s Harvest stamp set this month, I chose a “healing thoughts” sentiment, but options were available for birthday, anniversary, sympathy, or thinking of you.
I love the simplicity and the added texture of the embossed background:
A Basic White card base has a layer of Basic Black, embossed with the Bark embossing folder. It adds so much dimension!
The grasses are die-cut with the Harvest dies and added with Liquid Glue (to ensure they stick well to the embossed background).
I’m in love with Nature’s Harvest and the Harvest dies, and I know you’ll be seeing more of them soon!
