Perfect Sentiment Borders-Make It Monday #101

Create 9 different card designs with perfect borders every time. In today’s video, I will share different cutting measurements to create a variety of perfect borders around your sentiments or stamped images. This super simple technique will add a whole new dimension to your cards, especially if you are making your greeting the focal point.

I hope this fun technique of using 3 basic borders and minimal supplies will make your card creating easier. In all of my samples, I used the same greeting, but this technique will work for any stamped image you want to make the focal point of your card. Add some bling and really step it up! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Winter’s Night Sponging Technique-Make It Monday #99

Hey all it is time for another Make it Monday tutorial and today I am excited to share a sponging technique that you can use to create a Winter’s Night background scene. I know we are getting close to spring, but it is still technically the winter season. Although there is no snow here in St. Louis, the nights are still cold.

I am not sure about you, but I love a cold, clear winter’s night, especially if I am in my hot tub! Today’s technique is super simple and you can create your scene using our Blending Brushes or some stamping sponges. Sponge daubers will also work, but I am more proficient using sponges.

I hope you will try this technique. Leave me a comment if you do, I would love to hear what you think. Join me next week for another Make It Monday tutorial.

Here is a closer look!

Valentine Treat Mailbox-Make it Monday #96

Today I am excited to share with you this sweet treat mailbox for Valentine’s Day. I first saw this Mailbox in a larger pattern on Maymay Made it Crafts, and although I love the larger version, I wanted to create a mini mailbox so that I could get as many boxes from one sheet of cardstock.

I like creating specials treat boxes for all the ladies I work with. Since I have 22 to create a distribute, I love that this mini pattern allows you to make 4 fun boxes using just one sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock and two 6×6 sheets of designer series paper. It is a great way to maximize your paper and still provide your friends, co-workers and neighbors with a fun treat for Valentine’s Day. Although the boxes in this video are for Valentine’s Day, you can adapt them to any holiday. Have fun!

Here is a closer look of the inside of my mailbox. Fill them with your favorite treats. I added 9 Starburst candies to mine. I could not decide between mini peanut butter cups and starburst, so I know 4 mini peanut butter cups fit. Have fun filling them with whatever you decide.
