Creating a card with a unique design or focal point isn’t always an easy task, but that’s where this tutorial comes to your rescue! All six of the cards feature a simple layout, but they each have at least one impressive design element that’s either stacked or split. Best of all . . . the cards are really easy to make!
Card Challenge and new Sale-a-bration goodies!!
Earlier this month I shared Craft Project Central’s ‘Creating Pretty Cards #68, where one of the designers for February (Monika Davis) designed a card sketch as an inspiration and challenge for card crafters to create and share their creations (CDC offers prizes for winners 🙂 )
At the time I did not share mine as I was saving it for the launch of some new Sale-a-bration exclusive product, available until March 31st with a $50 product order.
Cool Treats Explosion Scrapbook Box
Oh! has Craft Project Central got a treat for you today!

Happy Valentine’s Day
Approximately 150 million Valentine’s Day cards are exchanged annually, making Valentine’s Day the second most popular card-sending holiday after Christmas, here is one that I send out for today.
I guess I am a little late posting this today 🙂 but a least it is still Valentine’s Day !
From Trash to Treasures
We all know it’s good to recycle, but having a recycling bin in your house is just a reminder to take out the trash. However, those same items – empty bottles, cans, and packaging products – organized in a pretty basket labeled “Repurpose for Crafting”, are a springboard to creativity.
As Earth Day approaches, dig into that “repurpose” basket. Pull out an empty can, some old catalogs or magazines, and some brown paper and Styrofoam packaging to create a lovely floral bouquet and coordinating note card. Need some inspiration? then try Buffy Cooper’s tutorial from Craft Project Central.
Thank You – swaps
Sale-a-bration started on Jan 4th, one of the first FREE stamp sets on my list was ‘So Very Much’………… cos it says thank you – one of my most favorite phrases! plus I just love the script and the sheer size of the greeting!
Last weekend I went to Michigan to a training conference and the organiser asked all attendees to bring ‘swaps’ , as always this time of year, time is very tight so it had to be a simple project but with plenty of impact.
