Maymay Made showing how to use those 12 x 12 papers that are difficult to use
in cardmaking. It worked. Take your 12 x 12 paper, and cut it at 4 inches so
you have 3 panels. Then take each panel and cut at 5 ¼. This makes the perfect
panel. With my paper, I did change where I cut depending on where it would
slice the image. For instance, I didn’t want to cut off a flamingo’s head, so I
just cut from the bottom. That did cut the Toucan a bit but it still worked out
great. There is very little waste when you do this. You need to try this too!</span><p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YVVG96N1koD3YYYhT-u9g8dlXqJq-w0Lrge9DNY4NgmN92RP1E6GWisiDvuTKqE8rX4bslI_Q4PV8gyK2iDwFgw_qnZxL2-QpqtSSOg2VdpdPFKD0pzu3X4HiC904x5HSXNbNP4j3V_b4WXURvafN67QU1qIUAnxfStORuvspAazvjGXnVYvk3EFM8E/s4032/20240317_181528.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2YVVG96N1koD3YYYhT-u9g8dlXqJq-w0Lrge9DNY4NgmN92RP1E6GWisiDvuTKqE8rX4bslI_Q4PV8gyK2iDwFgw_qnZxL2-QpqtSSOg2VdpdPFKD0pzu3X4HiC904x5HSXNbNP4j3V_b4WXURvafN67QU1qIUAnxfStORuvspAazvjGXnVYvk3EFM8E/s320/20240317_181528.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br /><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To see the <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/aK9nUhBNmfc?feature=share" target="_blank">video of these cards being created please head here.</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

I had everything cut out but just hadn’t put the cards together. I used my Cricut this time to draw the main

think the Unicorn images were adorable. If

to make a hot air balloon, using what you probably have in your stash.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;">I show you all the mistakes too, so when if
you decide to try it yourself, you won’t make the same ones.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;">It really wasn’t a hard project.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;">I didn’t have to buy any specialty dies or
anything to make it.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;">I have it stored at
work on my shelf where I plan to put all my 3D projects that I make this year.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt;">I hope you come back in March for my next

recently.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">This is the second card I made
so my customer would have options.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">What
I loved about making this card is really the star of the card, the hot air
balloon.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">The image is from Cricut Design
Space.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">My Cricut Explore drew the design
then cut it out.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">From this, I learned if
you are going to color images that are drawn using the Cricut Brand Pens give
the image at least 20 minutes or so to dry.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">If you color right after the image is cut out, I have had my alcohol
markers bleed the black ink some.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">But
since I waited a bit before coloring this image, I had no bleeding at all.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">Hope this helps you out next time you work
with these drawn images.</span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To see the<a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/QTInaURX4Zk" target="_blank"> video of this card beingcreated please head here</a>.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

sentiments to the card later.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">These
cards I have had for some time, thinking that if someone purchased them, they could
tell me what sentiment they would want, then I would add that on.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I decided it was time to just finish these

social media, you know in 2023 I really focused one card a week on using my
pins on Pinterest to inspire cards. This
year, I am still doing that but more relaxed on the time frame. I am not holding to any set schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This is one of those cards
inspired by a sketch pin. I did not shy
away from mixing patterns at all. I am
proud of that. When I was trying to find
a focal point, I wasn’t sure I would for this card as it was so busy. But again, Dollar Tree stickers to the
rescue. That owl is just the cutest
thing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0f0bTW-IR1OjDUAsfnnGWgMEK1dh8ABrtNLNRwyTmLL7447H4BC5bCCaDBMYlsn-sHluBIhI1RHxenabcpZn8ZoFkqDQZrmWc_Cu_1d4zji7YFXEzcWKcBuI8bmymcjpGvLKRVTm_OBuSKe0ynmIDsX0lzPce70yYNs5a27bWCzqXBbX-xXBJK8owWEk/s1080/Screenshot_20240215-214919_Gallery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1048" data-original-width="1080" height="389" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0f0bTW-IR1OjDUAsfnnGWgMEK1dh8ABrtNLNRwyTmLL7447H4BC5bCCaDBMYlsn-sHluBIhI1RHxenabcpZn8ZoFkqDQZrmWc_Cu_1d4zji7YFXEzcWKcBuI8bmymcjpGvLKRVTm_OBuSKe0ynmIDsX0lzPce70yYNs5a27bWCzqXBbX-xXBJK8owWEk/w400-h389/Screenshot_20240215-214919_Gallery.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To see the<a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/1CZAKW5uCRE" target="_blank"> video of this card beingcreated please head here.</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

to the stickers I get at Dollar Tree. Really
every time I go, I promise myself I will not buy any. I always give in because I just find such a
cute set I can’t pass up. This sticker was
great for a two-in-one card set. I was
also pleasantly surprised to find I had in that matched it perfectly. These would be great for quick and easy cards
if you are a beginner cardmaker. Those
cupcake stickers are adorable too.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQTGqDvL_bfVfTaJyaY5D17BEBjvhyQaRaqiy26t28bmH8o65i4XLOojxeA-hBQrupXf1YvrkVCvjDO1tANTc0JkzlwnHopQDPatH3vB7Vc6cU0VvByJSCNNxKH_7Ai0MUJkUxdkvM8wtK3YG-bF2mS0hMLE4x0xCIo7JaZocHccuapoWdWyoWikO-Vw8/s4032/20231229_115729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQTGqDvL_bfVfTaJyaY5D17BEBjvhyQaRaqiy26t28bmH8o65i4XLOojxeA-hBQrupXf1YvrkVCvjDO1tANTc0JkzlwnHopQDPatH3vB7Vc6cU0VvByJSCNNxKH_7Ai0MUJkUxdkvM8wtK3YG-bF2mS0hMLE4x0xCIo7JaZocHccuapoWdWyoWikO-Vw8/w225-h400/20231229_115729.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">To see the <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/d_XwwxvYatM" target="_blank">video of this card beingcreated please head here.</a></span><p></p>

Valentine’s Day cards this year.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I think
this is my favorite.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I hadn’t played
with my Distress Oxides in a while, so I got to add some color on a panel, add
some water to give it that oxide look, I then added gold splatter.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">Heaven!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">The panel was made in Cricut Design Space.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I made it myself by adding a bunch of hearts
on a panel leaving a slice of the middle of the heart intact.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">The sentiment is a print and cut straight
from Design Space.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">After the elements by
the Cricut are all cut this was so simple to put together.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I think my Valentine will like this
card!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I hope you have had a great Valentine’s

to fuss with the foam tape making sure there is not a gap.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I still had to make sure there were no gaps
in this version too thanks to those tiny beads, but I did that using strong double-sided
tape instead.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">Using the vellum behind
the panel I cut out with my Cricut Explore also helps those beads make a nice
shaker sound.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">This panel came straight
from Cricut Design Space. The number of images grows daily with Design Space,
so if you haven’t checked it out lately you should.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">You’ll be sure to find something for your
next project. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I did make sure to cut it
using my detail blade so I would get a nice cut.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">This card turned out beautiful.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56fsslMUaYbr7XGL4E-zV2b5PNwqZlTIxbJpz3BFBYR05aDousUaey_D7CinLwzQDQjA36cWzvRkHrVvvqzzGnI0Zx2sEdk2cdMWEn_NQe0_poHY1BMhtLCHBsnRllbzjaKfGCluzsdvw6We3RSifGsLY2zMqNCQ9wJjeR9dshFwRx7NqzSJ4Pgp5igs/s3132/20240212_210657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3132" data-original-width="2268" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56fsslMUaYbr7XGL4E-zV2b5PNwqZlTIxbJpz3BFBYR05aDousUaey_D7CinLwzQDQjA36cWzvRkHrVvvqzzGnI0Zx2sEdk2cdMWEn_NQe0_poHY1BMhtLCHBsnRllbzjaKfGCluzsdvw6We3RSifGsLY2zMqNCQ9wJjeR9dshFwRx7NqzSJ4Pgp5igs/w290-h400/20240212_210657.jpg" width="290" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To see the<a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/3lpo2uRKPRA" target="_blank"> video of this card beingcreated please head here</a>.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

wanted a card for Valentine’s Day for their significant other.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">The inspiration came when she told me she had
gotten her Valentine a new journal.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I
also asked if she had a particular sentiment or message, she wanted added to
the inside of the card which I did include thanks to my Cricut.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I had my Cricut write out the message.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">The end result is so cute I had the Cricut
also cut that lock in the shape of a key out of some gold cardstock.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I know this is a longer video so thank you for

card is a cute 3 x 3 card you could use for Valentine’s Day or any day you
want. I also love to use cards like this
to pair with a gift I am giving. Just a
quick note and a signature on the inside is all that is needed. The inspiration pin made me think of this die
because it is only one of two that cuts out a pattern in a shape rather than
cutting the shape too. What types of
Valentine’s Day Cards are you making?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To see the<a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/bPw34Mu5EVM" target="_blank"> video of this card beingcreated please head here.</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 107%;">

have done so many techniques, but I kept this one super simple.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I found a heart background paper in my stash
to layer behind it.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I topped it off with
a print and cut sentiment also that I found in Cricut Design space.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">A few sequins and a dash of a glitter pen and
I called it done.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">What Valentine’s

Dollar Tree stencil and a few stamps. I
think it turned out just right. I do
have this available in my Esty shop along with a few others if you are
interested. I am also up for doing a
custom puzzle if you need one. It
doesn’t have to be for Valentine’s Day.

alcohol ink flower? This was my first time. I did ok. I do think I need some
more practice. Letting it dry between the layered petals was the key. I used
yupo paper for the best results. I did try photo paper. That did not work as
well for me. I have seen others do this type of technique too with food
coloring. I did not try that at all. I could see that making a great big mess.
For the centers, I just created dots with another color of alcohol ink.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">To see the video of this card being

exploring other ways to do the spotlight technique recently. For this card, I tried to figure out a way to
do it using stencils. I think I was
successful, but I really needed a stencil that stretched over the entire
card. I did make it work by adding black
cardstock, but next time a bigger stencil will be what I choose. I love how this turned out, in fact after I
did this card, I ended up making a couple of other cards using this technique
for my Etsy Shop that sold! I hope the recipient
enjoyed them.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To see the<a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/zEKoQfgderc" target="_blank"> video of this card beingcreated please head here.</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">

my cardmaking.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">With this card, I used
some clear packaging.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I die-cut a square
to make my shaker.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">This was just plastic
packaging, not acetate at all.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">It still
worked.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I was very pleased.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">Though I use a die to cut this you could use
your paper trimmer just as well.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">This is
such a great way to recycle.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">What are
some items you have repurposed for cards?</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">

couple of collections of adult coloring pages that are digital.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I decided to take one, print it out on
colored cardstock, and then, of course, use the image as a background for a
card.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I love how this turned out.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I think next time, I want to try this again,

where I push myself to do more interactive, or 3 D paper projects. Some will be
simple, some may make me pull my hair out since there will be so many things to

card in my Pins on Pinterest, I already knew I was going to love to make this
card. I was totally right. Those who have been in cardmaking for a while remember
inchies. To create the inchies for this card I did a bit of ink smooshing along
with a white embossed image on top. Then
I just cut 1 x 1-inch pieces. I didn’t
even pay attention to the orientation when I placed them on my square
card. You don’t need to. You could totally do this with patterned
paper scraps as well.</span><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjsG3H-WL3AthrtuTTiDlgjJ-_xnQGy8imYfhPa_CUd1xnP1bzPuRV1nUNaFXeqI7n9ishNLyEE998LVyNwngg0mW3IJBx5izrqQmJTEM5c3MNk0UZ-R-ho-fkIUIfRo0tBS6j1Na3JcYwkyLiw0uo3nbPq7yXGFdAOuGW676Xfnm2-nTelakC9EeurU/s4032/20230910_154201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2268" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjsG3H-WL3AthrtuTTiDlgjJ-_xnQGy8imYfhPa_CUd1xnP1bzPuRV1nUNaFXeqI7n9ishNLyEE998LVyNwngg0mW3IJBx5izrqQmJTEM5c3MNk0UZ-R-ho-fkIUIfRo0tBS6j1Na3JcYwkyLiw0uo3nbPq7yXGFdAOuGW676Xfnm2-nTelakC9EeurU/w225-h400/20230910_154201.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To see the <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/U1pTh6fF-aE" target="_blank">video of this card beingcreated please head here.</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

on colored cardstock, it is all about the ink.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">My favorite way to do this is to use white pigment ink, then follow it
with the colored dye ink of your choice.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">If you offset this combo, then it gets this cool dimensional look with
no bulk.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">This is one of the reasons you
should keep white pigment ink in your stash.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">It just makes stenciled images look amazing when using this technique.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">If you have never tried this, please do.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;">I think you’ll find this easy to do and so
much fun.</span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="background: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To see the <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/A2JZ-q2rIRo" target="_blank">video of this card beingcreated please head here.</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
