The measurements are worked out perfectly so you don't end up with a bunch of scraps! Watch here to get all the details and design tips

Through Your Door
Hello!
I don't usually make a lot of St. Patrick's Day cards, but these stamps were just so amazing. My favorite stamp in this release is the shamrock background. I have another card I made with it. I'll share it later this month. I played around and made a surprise flap card. I love that it could hide a secret message. Check out the video to see this card in action.
I made a few versions of this card. I'd love to know which is your favorite.

Under the Moon (with tutorial)
Hello all,
I have a love/hate relationship with embossing powder. It can be challenging to get a clear image without flecks all over. Well... What if you want the flecks? Check out this technique where I turn the flecks into stars on my evening sky card. You can see the video here

Foiling Game Changer (with video)
Hello all,
Foiling is a huge trend in stamping. I love the look but I wasn't excited about purchasing a bunch more dies. I found WoW bonding powder. I thought it would be awesome to try. The powder is really fine. Finer than most embossing powder. Check out the results in this video. Look out world... I can foil any of my stamps!
