A Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year

 

This year is coming to an end so fast and while there are still so many things to do, I would like to take the time and thank you all for your continues support and crafting friendship. I have many new things planned for you in 2022 so make sure to stay connected.

December Card Class Project 2 - Pinwheel Christmas Card

This is the second card from my December Card Making Class. Please let me know if you have questions or like any measurements. I used the Close to My Heart design paper collection “Cedar&Pine” and “Evergreen” cardstock for this project.

November Card Class Project 4 - 2021

 Here is our last card class project for 2021. Yes, it already has been a year. For our December class we will make something special so stay tuned for that. But back to this card. I love this "shadowing" technique with the white pigment ink and a hint of color on top. Wonder how this technique was done? Check back here for the video instructions. Just a few pieces are needed for this card
