This Christmas card is a very simple fun-fold card which I explain in detail in my Youtube video which you can watch here. I used Stampin’ Blends markers to color the image but you can use watercolor pencils if you want a more pastel look. Here’s a little hint for…
The Beautiful Pumpkins bundle has elegant images and dies which I absolutely love for the autumn season. I wanted to take it up a notch and added gold embossing to the pumpkins. I like the way they turned out, giving a vintage look to the pumpkins. You can watch the…
My favorite time of the year is only days away, and I can’t help but feel excitement for the fall season. The Beautiful Pumpkins bundle is perfect for creating fall cards for any occasion including Thanksgiving, which is what I made this card for. Two-step stamping is used to stamp…
