Mboss embossing powder is sold in a resealable bag and it is so easy to use and clean up after. The gusseted bottom allows it to stand independently on your surface and won't tip over easily. The fact that you can pinch the bag while you are pouring the powder onto your project allows for greater accuracy too. I used the Hologram MBoss powder on this star card and it really makes the focal point pop!
For this card I used a few Memento Dual-tip Markers and the gorgeous Mboss Embossing powder by Imagine.

To highlight the the versatile properties of the creamy and blendable chalk-finish ink called VersaMagic, I will show you how to make this cute plaid pattern background. The pigment ink shows up brilliantly on the kraft cardstock, but matches it's matte tone.
Today, I share how to use VersaFine Clair in multiple ways! This fabulous ink allows for crisp clean stamping. However, it also can be used over many mediums including Alcohol Markers, like Copics. It works wonderfully for embossing sentiments even on vellum and can be used under many mediums such as Perfect Medium. Today, I share a few of my favorite techniques using VersaFine Clair.
In this video I'll share how you can stretch the use of your VersaMark ink pads and create easy backgrounds with them. Even though VersaMark is generally used for heat embossing, it's also a great ink for tone-on-tone or monochrome stamping.

In today's video, I create a fun and colorful card using Imagine's Fireworks Sprays and the new Dewlets. I love the adorable Dew Drop ink pads from Imagine and was inspired to create a fun rainbow raindrop theme card that reads You Color My World!
I love a versatile tool and the Dewlet die is just that. The perfect little (but not too little) teardrop for petals, leaves, raindrops, balloons, and whatever else you think of. In this card, I’ve used the die as a stencil to draw out a pattern as well as a die to cut out shapes in that pattern. And that simple repeating pattern gets jazzed up with pen detailing, glitter, and a couple of shaker windows, too.
If you get the blues being away from friends and family, this is a sweet card to say how much you miss them. Change up the color scheme or sentiment, though, and it could easily be a baby or wedding shower card. Add some flowers and you’ve got an April Showers card. All from a simple repeating background and a few well-chosen embellishments.
For today’s card, I used the new Dewlets Die to create a beautiful paper daisy. I used the die to cut out a few petals and adhered it on the card panel with the On Point Glue.

Seasons Greetings! I am sharing this Kids Craft project that is totally up my alley because my children and I make crafts together all the time. So my daughter and I put on our thinking caps and came up with this sweet Christmas Lights card.
There are days when the rainy weather keeps you inside. It’s a good idea to have a crafty project idea that you can pull out from your sleeve when the boredom tries to sneak in. For this decorated glass jar you will only need a short list of things every paper crafter has in her stash.
Can you ever have too many notebooks? This gives them all kinds of great potential on the outside, just like the blank pages are inside.

I have discovered you can watercolor with almost any medium. Today I am using irRESISTible Pico’s. This is such a fun image to color and with the Pico’s, you can give the gumballs a little something extra.
This card works like a sudoku puzzle. It comes along with several letters and embellishment. Because of using Tack’n’Peel, everything adheres non-permanent on the surface, so you can spend a lot of funny time combining it and trying to find out how many words, phrases and designs are possible to create. Hubby had a lot of fun with the possibilities.
I like the colors of Spring! The Brilliance Pearlescent inks are just perfect for the subtle shine and lightness for this time of the year!

We don’t have a name for “Tacky Tourists” in Germany. But it’s a really good and funny description for these kind of travelers and I think, we should have a German word for them. For this card I created a new road sign. A couple of years ago, my BFF Dagmar and I visited the Gizeh Pyramides at Kairo, Agypt.
Show your thanks with this shimmering bold sentiment from Artist in Residence Carisa Zglobicki.
Flag Day is huge in my household. Show your patriotism this Flag Day by dressing up a pair of jeans or capris with a stencil and a little ink. As a bonus, you are all set for the 4th of July also! :)

A delicious DIY tank, just in time for summer!

Graduations are just around the corner and these young people are going to be getting a lot of gift cards. Now they need a place to keep them organized. Aren't you glad you stopped by today so I can help solve that problem with this one of a kind Gift Card Organizer?!?
Graduation is such a special day as they walk across the stage to receive their diplomas. It is the end of childhood and a beginning into adulthood. Commemorate your graduate with a specially made card to recognize their achievement. Simple to make, just change the colors to coincide with your school theme.
As soon as I heard the theme for this project was gift card holders, I immediately thought of a pocket card. Of course with my own little twist. It is the perfect way to be a little bit 'sneaky' with an unexpected gift...as you will see from my tutorial. Enjoy!
Gift cards, money or homemade coupons, this is a great way to give them to your special person. It also doubles as a cute storage envelope for all of their monetary gifts. This is fun to make and easy to change the gift theme.
Some times it is just so much simpler to give that picky Teenager a gift card than buy a gift. I never know what to buy my nieces mainly because they have everything twice over already! I decided to create a slider card and figured that I could hide a gift card within the mechanism.

Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. This sentiment is true not only for the turbulent weather of Spring time but also in creating art. One of the ways I like to create my own artsy sunshine is monoprinting. A fun and easy technique that yields a sky full of sunshine every time.
It is never to early to start training children to respect our home, Mother Earth, by recycling whenever we can. What might seem to be trash, like this old shoebox, can be turned into a lovely treasure box easily using scraps from other projects.
New trends in papercrafting and mixed media are using a Gelli Plate. I have found that the Craft Mat by Imagine Crafts works like a charm without the added expense. Let me show you how easy it is to incorporate this technique into your next card project.
Working with the Gelli Plate is one of the hottest trends right now, and I have to admit that I don't own one. I've really wanted to experiment with the monoprinting technique, and I soon discovered the the IMAGINE Crafts Craft Mat is perfect for achieving the same results!
This is fun way to take your favorite colors and create your own watercolor backgrounds using the IMAGINE Crafts Craft Mat as your working surface. Here are a couple of versions using similar color combinations.
Savannah O'Gwynn walks you through 3 different projects using the IMAGINE Crafts Craft Mat in this fabulous introductory video to simple monoprinting for the non mixed media artist!
"April Showers" in the Southern Hemisphere are slightly different than those in the Northern hemisphere - we are heading from summer to Autumn/Fall and April Showers are more than welcome but bring with them a reminder that we are heading to cooler tempertures and...rain! This is my inspiration for this card.

Baerbel Born has another amazing project to share with you today, this time creating these elegant textured Easter Eggs using StazOn Studio Glaze. Easy enough to make with the entire family!
It's that time of the year where the kids get to find all of those eggs hidden in the yard. What a perfect idea for creating a fun card - an Easter basket filled with brightly decorated eggs!
Studio Glaze is a real member of the StazOn product family. It works on nearly every surface. This was a boring, plain white glossy porcelain bunny before I doodled it colorful with the Glaze.
Since Easter is fast approaching, I got inspired by the colored eggs I plan to decorate with my daughter. And this time of the year I really enjoy watching the eggs hatching and then small chicks coming out of them.
It seems that every year, Easter decorations are becoming more and more popular for having around the house or even hanging from an indoor tree. Baerbel shows how simple it is to create these fun Easter Egg ornaments with some definate BLING that are sure to get noticed!
I love playing with Pico's and with Spring just around the corner, this is a fun embossing folder to play with. I've kept it fairly simply, but I can envision a really colorful zentangle with all the Pico colors.
My favorite season of the year is Spring, watching the world come alive. I wanted to create a freehand card that is simple to replicate that didn't involve any stamping or stencils, just my interpretation of the trees and flowers around me.
Get creative with Amplify! with this fun project creating a boquet of Spring blooms. When heated on waxed paper, Amplify has the look and feel of suede!
Inspired by the beautiful colors of Spring when everything is fresh and in full bloom, so I created this quick card. For my focal point elements I chose this gorgeous soft linen flower in cream and then added color to it using the Radiant Neon ink pads.
Who doesn't love Peeps - these sweet treats are popping up everywhere this time of year. I knew when I saw these little bunny stamps for the first time they would look spectacular covered with a layer of bright, colorful Radiant Neon Amplify!
I was excited when we were asked to create a St. Patrick’s Day project since green is my favorite color. And there's no greener day than St. Patricks Day! To celebrate, I grabbed StazOn Studio Glaze, Radiant Neon Amplify! and StazOn inkpads and created a festive canvas.
Instead of buying one of those boring, standard banners from a party store, why not create your own that's sure to WOW and amaze all your guests? It's simple to create a layered banner that gets everyone into a festive mood for celebrating!
I love using dies as guides for creating all sorts of fun elements in a card. Today I used a heart die from X-Cut to use as a template for creating this fun flower wreath.
Inspiration is never too far away when you walk in the garden - we have beautiful roses in our garden and I love to look at them. It is not always possible to send fresh roses, but I can send a card that has been inspired by their beauty.

I love dandelion's and cant wait for them all to start springing up so I can pick them and make a wish! When I saw the fabulous Clearly Besotted stamp set Dandelion Dreams a plan quickly formed. Traditionally it should be white but hey, artistic license and my favourite Memento Luxe pad Rose Bud was calling my name.
I love having cards in my stash that work for both guys and gals that I can use at a moments notice. This card fits the bill perfectly, it's fun, thoughtful and has just enough shimmer to be elegant without being too girly. It's made using Iridescent Creative Medium -- creamy paste that pairs perfectly with stencils and looks great on dark backgrounds.

I adore the new Imagine Crafts Creative Medium! It is so easy to use and clean up, you will find it hard to go wrong. It dries relatively quickly and does not have an offensive smell, two things that are very important to me in a product. When I created my tester pieces I fell instantly in love with the Blue so had to use it on a proper project first, what better than a background for a spring inspired card.
The texture from the new Amplify is so fluffy! It reminds me of a sheep's wool, so here's a fun and card that I created in celebration of Chinese New Year, the Year of the Sheep.
With the Ombre trend still very much alive and well, I was inspired to create a little Ombre magic on this Love themed card using my Radiant Neon Electric ink pad.
So many reds, so little time! The Memento color line features inkpads with complimentary Fireworks craft sprays that are fun to combine because they blend so wonderfully. Valentine themed cards are the perfect way to try them all out!
Tall layout is a nice change in cardmaking. I hope you enjoy my quick Valentine's project today.
Valentine's Day always makes me think of red and pink – and those are the colors I chose to create this Clean and Simple greeting card, accented with a little bling heart in the bottom corner to carry the heart theme throughout this card.
The Radiant Neon inks make me happy... I adore the pop of color they give, especially against a black background! When I sat down to make this card, my goal was to make something lovey-dovey but still have it usable for a guy or a girl, and for any occasion that a 'hello' was needed. You never know when you'll need to grab a virtual hug from your stash to send out!
When asked to make a card that involves the Super Bowl, I was so excited because even though I am not a football fan, I at least knew that Seattle had a chance and they wear my favorite colors...Lime & Navy. I had an idea of where I was going with this card, but after it was finished I am thinking....why didn't I make it into a shaker card?!? So today you get two cards.
