My First Birthday Cardmaking Video Tutorial

by Homegrownart on June 21, 2010

Hello Y’all,

I finally completed this project and uploaded a cardmaking video tutorial to You Tube.  Now, I must say, I have so much respect for all those YouTubers that post videos on a regular basis.  I am not promising I will do one every week or even every month for that matter, but I will be working on producing more in the near future.

Hope you like this birthday card which was inspired by Michelle. From the moment this elegant card caught my eyes on Split Coast Stampers,  it went directly into my favorites.  Thanks for the inspiration Michelle, who gives further credit to her friend Krystie. I hope I gave your sketch some justice.

Here are the supplies I used to complete  this pretty Green Swirl Birthday Greeting Card:

Cardstock-Papertrey Inc.; Bazzill
Pattern Paper-DCWV
Spellbinders Nestabilities Mega Curvy Rectangle Dies
Making Memories- brad, bone folder, and paper cutter

Hello all,

There is so much to learn and so little time.  I have been trying to test different gallery pages.  If you have ideas on how to make my gallery look nicer, please do not hesitate to share.  Please visit my card gallery and leave feedback to let me know which gallery type is better. Card gallery 1 or card gallery 2?  Any feedback you provide is appreciated.

Cheers!!

Single Layer Happy Birthday Card

April 20, 2010

Hi Y’all,
This is a birthday card I made for kwernerdesign.com challenge.  The challenge basically required the use of  stamps without layering.  As simple as it sounds, this was quite a challenge, since I love to layer and use embellishments.  Honestly, I am still trying to appreciate my effort. I would not make [...]

Free .svg and .scut image – Cherish

January 12, 2010

This is a text image that I have scaled to 6″ wide.  When cut at smaller dimensions, the blade tears the paper. Feel free to play around with it.  Mind you, you might still need to use an Xacto knife to trim the inner curves.
I imagine it would look nice on a scrapbook page.  Here [...]
