Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial this time featuring My Mind's Eye . I am obsessed with  6x6 pads  because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. This time I switched it up with a new brand. This paper pad was a little more grown up but I think the cards will work for some older teens for card drives like  Cards for Hospitalized Kids . So today I'm using My Mind's Eye On Trend 2   and Create a Smile Decorated Wishes and Just Saying Hello   while making 25 cards! Once I had made the 25 cards there was very little left over and I really felt like I got the most out of my pad. To see it all in action check out the video. I made 2 of most designs but there are some unique cards. Keep scrolling to see pictures of each design and get some measurements.  Measurements for this card (in inches): A2 (4 1/4 by 5 1/2) card base, largest layer 4 by 5 1/4, patterned square 3 by 3, cut apart 1 by 1 1/2...

Hello crafty friends! Just a reminder that you still have one week left to play along in the  Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge . The challenge is a fun color theme. For my card I created a simple background with ink cube swiping. Ink cube swiping is one of my new go to technique for a quick colorful background. The butterfly is from the Beautiful Wings stamp set. Head on over to the  Inky Paws challenge blog  for full details and to hear about how you can win.

Today I'm sharing the 15 cards I created with the Hero Arts May 2017 Card Kit . I have created a video tutorial to accompany the cards. It is a quite a long video but I hope you will find the information and ideas helpful.

To begin I wanted to share some information about the colors I chose for the mermaids. I colored the images with Copic markers. Some skin color combos I used were E99 and E15, E50 and E53, E00 and E11, E33 and E35.

Hello crafty friends! Today I have the cards I made with my Simon Says Stamp May 2017 Kit to share with you. In the video below I am sharing how I made these 10 cards with the kit. I had to add a lot of extra supplies this time. In particular I had to add a sentiment stamp set and in this case went with the Create a Smile Just Saying Hello stamp set. After the video there are pictures of the complete cards in case you want to save them for future reference as well as some reminders of the measurements needed to make the animation cards. I was able to make 4 animation cards out of the two sheets of animation grids provided in the kit. Animation grids are necessary for the animation stamp sets to work so I thought it was important to get as many cards using them as possible. The Uchi's Design stamps were a lot of fun and definitely my favorite part of the kit. Check out their website to learn more about creating cards with the animation grids. This heart animation slider was incl...
