My First Origami Heart

 I have finally used the first Pin I ever Pinned on Pinterest. To make an origami heart, which I then placed on a card, because what else would I do with it? I mean let's be real, that is what I do. I would love to have a bookmark, but I don't read physical books anymore. Do you read physical books? Ok, I could go off on a tangent, but I will stop with that question. I do recommend if you are going to make this heart, for the love of Pete, use paper, not cardstock. You'll thank me!

December Sheetload of Cards

 I really love participating in the Sheetload of Card challenges each month. December’s challenge was another great one. For this challenge, I substituted the circle element for a couple of dies. In the video, you’ll see me add the coffee cup. Later though, after some reflection, I did add a butterfly to each card along with some glitter gel pen accents to give each card a bit of sparkle. These are for sale in my Etsy shop. So, I hope you will check out the link below. Better yet, purchase a card or the whole bunch!

Scraps are Versatile, Don't Leave Them Behind

 Scraps are so versatile. It is difficult to get rid of any scrap paper because over the years I have learned, that you can use those scraps in so many variations. Long, skinny, short, wide, those scraps can be used to make so many cards. You just have to look to reconfigure them in your head. I have watched so many scrap videos in my time. I learn something new in most of them. So it’s really hard to throw any away. Die cut them, use strips to stamp your sentiments, create inchies, or patterns…the list goes on. Here is another video using the scraps I had lying on my desk that I did not want to waste. Thanks for checking it out.

Happy Holidays!

 

Thank you to everyone follows me. It means so much. You have made 2023 so much fun. I appreciate so much every like, comment, and follow. I hope you have a joyous Holiday season.

Tearing your Patterned Paper is OK.

 Today’s card is best made using double-sided patterned paper.  You will be tearing said paper as well.  It’s ok.  You are allowed to tear paper.  That was a big trend quite some time ago.  Though not as popular for the card design it works.  Watch the video as I create some interest by tearing a portion of the middle that is rolled back to see a message.  Let me know if you like this with a thumbs up or comment.  I much appreciate the engagement.

Incorporating Mistakes Into My Cards

 If you have been a crafter/card maker you have learned over the years how to fix a few mistakes on cards.  This card was one of those for me.  Mainly because I didn’t want to waste a sheet of my Tim Holt’s Watercolor paper.  So, like I do so many times, I just covered the whole image.  This time with such a cute summery washi tape that I got from Temu I think.  Don’t throw out those projects unless you are sure you can’t salvage it.  Incorporate those mistakes likely they will still lead to wonderful results.

Adding a Hint of Color with Paint Scraping

I thought I would try paint scraping again, this time with some color pops I have.  I loved how this turned out.  It just gave a hint of color without covering up the music print under it.  The color pop also gave a bit of shine which I liked as well.  The washi stamps add a bit of whimsy.  But the wooden owl I just love.  They are super thin.  I have found others at Dollar Tree since this card was made.  I had to pick them up to as they add so much without too much bulk or weight.
