Courage...

Today I've created a card using Imagine Crafts®/Tsukineko® newest ink sprays called irRESISTibles and you can find the tutorial on their blog HERE! I used them with the recent release of Spellbinders® Paper Arts Feathers on the Wind die templates. A quick and easy card for someone who is in need of strength!

Life is better ...

Happy Valentine's Day, friends!! It's snowy and cold in New York but today, I have a pretty spring card using new releases from Spellbinders® Paper Arts including the Create-a-flower series. The flowers are so easy to make, and add a bit of shading with Memento Markers and they look lifelike. I used the Create A Flower: Rose die set and paired it with Romantic Rectangles Two (which I'll be using a lot in the future). Supplies are listed below, as always!

All My Love...

Welcome to Day three of the February release for JustRite Papercraft! They have created a gorgeous stamp called Rose Postcard Background Stamp and I used a portion of it to make this pretty tag! My new coloring medium is Memento Markers and I love them. I used Spellbinders® Paper Arts A2 Valiant Honor largest die to make the edge on the tag and it shows that you don't have to use the whole die to dress up your papercrafting creations!

~ Enjoy!
