One of the things I like best about the Advent Calendar dies are their versatility. You have the ornaments with the numbers removed from a solid background, the “cut-out” numbers, the solid ornaments and the outlined ornaments. I used the solid dies to cut out ornaments from patterned paper – the bear images are the perfect size for this. I could have made one “25” ornament, but I wanted two ornaments from the contrasting paper and thought I’d go with the “2” and the “5.”
So I decided to take the terrific advice I got from my blog readers and the readers here who commented on my original Christmas in the City card, and I like the new version very…
Today I paired an older die with a new one, and I think they should date more often! :~)
I love Downton Abbey for many reasons, but one of the biggest is the time period. I looooove the clothing of the Edwardian period, so that first season had me slobbering like a dog over a bone! So why not use these gorgeous dresses as card inspiration?
You’ll have life-long access to the course materials (3 videos, 5 instructional PDFs with photos, 3 printable sentiments in PDF format, and a complete supplies list). There is a group forum and gallery (which I hope you’ll use), and I’ll also be available through email.
I’m quite fond of the card I made for today because it’s whimsical and makes me grin. Plus it has the cutest little whale and fish dies!
If you get the Memory Box Simple Buckles die set, you can make your own buckle by adding pearls to the die!
Memory Box just released its latest collection, and today I’ve made a card featuring two of the new stamps! I also tried some new things on this card and was fairly pleased with my results.
I used Inktense watercolor pencils for the first time; and
I decided to dry emboss and ink my focus image after I had stamped and colored it.
