Coloring with Soft Pastels

Technique Time. The soft pastels seemed to be hidden in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog (they are on page 126). They provide such a soft colored image.

Faux Paper Tearing Technique

Technique Time. This is a simple technique that is not new to the stamping world. I got the inspiration from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog, and just switched it up a bit.

Fancy Fold - Landscape Pop 'n Twist Card

Technique Time - I love a good pop and twist card. I switched it up a bit by making it in landscape position rather than the typical portrait card.

The Sending Hugs bundle was calling me to create this card. The front of the card was a CASE from another demonstrator (I don't have the name).

Below is a video with complete instructions to create this card.

Baby Wipe Swirl Technique

Technique Time. Today's technique is called baby wipe swirl. For a fun background, simply place several drops of a refill on a folded baby wipe and spread it across your cardstock in a swirly or wavy motion. For this card, I used soft succulent and pale papaya refills. Once the cardstock is dry (paper will curl when wet, and lay flat when dry) adhere a black die cut over the top.
