Welcome back to the 3rd day of the 12 Days of Christmas Card Tutorials 2019. Today I am working with Crafter’s Companion Cut and Emboss Folders to create some great 2 for 1 cards.

For these cards, I started out with a beautiful blue blend using Suede Shoes Ink( SBC | ELH ), Fiesta Blue Ink ( SBC | ELH ) and All That Jazz Ink( SBC |…

Bullet Journal: November Cover
written by Justine Hovey
I’ve decided to expand my horizons a little and jump into Bullet Journaling. Don’t worry, I will still be making cards but once per week I will be doing some bullet journaling. I’m new(er) to the craft and I’m looking forward to using my cardmaking supplies in a whole new way. I love this new endeavour because all it cost me was a Leuchtturm A5 Bullet Journal Dotted Pages Notebook ( AMZUS ) – the rest of the supplies I already have in my stash. Getting Started To make things…
DIY Sympathy Card Idea
written by Justine Hovey
Today I created a DIY video tutorial on how to create a sympathy card using Beloved Daisy Stamp & Die & Mask Stencil Bundle ( ALTN ) and new inks from The Stamp Market Full Ink Collection ( THS ). I love this card because it truly pulls together the focal point of the card using the golden frames from the Altenew Fine Frames Cover Dies ( SBC | ALTN | ELH | SSS ). In the video tutorial I cover many techniques but I think the best one is…

Unfortunately, it has been retired but no worries, I featured many different cover plate dies and I even have some alternatives to the Falling Circles die. Layering & Faux Layering Technique I showed off the layering and faux…

Today I’m exploring Number 10 cards (4″ x 9.25″) and how to create custom cards for birthdays with Wide Washi tape from Altenew. I love shaker cards and I’ve been making tons of these lately. I decided to use my favourite washi tapes: Teal Shadow, Painted Fantasy, Glitter Flurries, Monochrome and Misty Meadows. A Note on Alphabet Dies Using alphabet dies (regardless of size) makes these kinds of cards possible. I used a variety of them and showed you the size on my glass mat in order to help you…
