Scary Jack-o-lantern!

Try something different the next time you create a card. Rather than creating a regular sized card, make a 4 X 4 card first. Add most of your details to the tiny card. Next, adhere it to a regular sized 4 1/4 X 5 1/2" card. Add embellishments like flowers and pearls. The emphasis continues to be on the 4 X 4" card that you first created while at the same time, giving you the freedom to create a regular sized card.

Who Says You Only Need to Use Paper When Creating a Card?

Instead of using cardstock and pattern paper for my card I used bits of fabric! I used gluedots to adhere the fabric to a card. I added ribbon and an antique picture hanger for a final touch.

I set aside my markers to colour the horse. Instead, I used a Versamark Pen to fill in the entire horse. I covered the horse in sparkly embossing powder and heat set. I then used the fine tip of the VersaMark pen to outline the horse and embossed in Black.

Try pushing the limits of your next handmade card. Remember not to be afraid to try new things.

Dachshund

This is a terrific way to dress up a card. Colour your WillowGrove Dachshund by sponging dye ink directly onto the cardstock. Add highlights with markers and Stickles for unexpected fun. Punching out the flower pattern and gluing them over the black border brings continuity to your card.
