Pinkfresh Side Slider

Turn the project over and test the Slider by gently tugging on the Tab. The Slider should glide up and down along the slit in the Slitted Panel. If it does, you can remove the backing paper from the foam tape and adhere the mechanism to your card front.

Halloween gift card mugs

This is a quick and easy way to dress up gift cards for Halloween. The paper I used is scrapbook paper pad from Michael’s. I paired it with glitter paper in matching colors, also from Michaels.

Stacked mini album

This mini album is very easy to make and has room for lots of embellishments. It will available for purchase at my booth at the De Anza Flea Market on Saturday, July 1st, 2023. If it doesn’t sell there, I’ll list it in my Etsy shop.

Interactive Father’s Day Card

Once the glue has set, turn the piece right side up. You should be able to tug at the sliding tab and get the center of the sliding mechanism to fold up. If the mechanism works smoothly, you can remove the release paper from the foam tape and place the mechanism on the card base.

Vellum cards and envelopes

Vellum is tricky, because glue will show through it. There are a couple of different strategies for getting around this.

Mini slimline cards tutorial

If you’re not sure how to place flowers, there are two principles that can guide you. The first one is to place flowers around the focal point of the card. The second one is to place decorations in a diagonal. If you combine the two principles, you cluster decorations around the sentiment and let them trail off into opposite corners.

Pop-up tree tutorial

The theme for the Instagram hop this Sunday was Butterfly or Bee and Symmetry. I took the chance to use the recent Flowering tree pop-up die set from Spellbinders. It creates a fantastic four-tiered card that folds flat into a regular A2 format. It’s a real stunner and not too hard to pull off.

Single layer spring card tutorial

At this point I really wanted to add dimension to the card. But it was supposed to be a single layer card. So instead of adding dimension, I added texture.

Ostara blessings card tutorial

It’s not hard to find stamps and dies that say Blessings or Blessed. Not so for Pagan holidays. That’s why I have lots of alphabet dies. The drawback is that I have to cut out each letter individually, and some of them twice.
