Birthday Cactus Box Card

Welcome friends,

It is time for this month's fun fold video.  I have really enjoyed this trend in stamping.  It allows us to create something unexpected.   This format might be my favorite.  It is really easy to assemble and it has a giant WOW factor.

You Old Goat- Video Tutorial

Hello all,

This is the first in my new color along series. Today we are coloring a goat. There are tips on shading fur, creating a grassy ground, see how I add additional depth to shadows, and add finishing details. At the moment, the video is only available to those who opted to participate in the coloring class in Feb 2019. I still have a few more spaces in class email me if you would still like to join.

Greetings my Magical Friends,

I was in the mood to shake things up a bit.  This fairy (whimsy stamps) come with some really cute sentiments.   I thought they would be a fun twist on a birthday card.   I added the sparks from her wand with a stencil.   I wish the camera captured the glitter and shine.    The inside of the card is pictured below.
