Summer is here!

July 3, 2022
Summer is here and the monsoons gearing up! I was inspired to make this fun summer card from an Artisan Design Team member from SU! last month. Using the simplest die you can create a wow card. This card is a Slimline measuring 8.5 by 3.5. I used a 1/4 mat using white on white cardstock. The base card is colored in a rainbow of colors using direct to paper with a blending brush. Once you have colored the base simply die cut the top layer using an assortment of fun, small dies! Be sure to save...

Flowering Cactus Card Class

February 9, 2021

Being from Az I am in love with anything cactus! And this "Flowering Cactus" medley of product do not disappoint! Love!

Where the two layers overlap I snuck in a super thin magnet so the card secretly closes! The left side is about 2 1/2 inches wide and the right is about the same. If a standard card is only 4 1/4 wide these two over sized sides will overlap nicely. Have fun explo...
