I loved making these little rainbow cards! Rather than distress each of the rainbow bands (cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle dies), I die-cut them from colored cardstock so I have lots of rainbow circles on hand!. Continue reading →

I love the cards today.  I should mention that I have fat, clumsy fingers.  There was no way I was going to be able to layer the tiny letters in the die used.  My solution was to mount the outline die-cut from the red/orange background.  Continue reading →

A Friend’s Belated Birthday Card

by ElizStewart // April 15, 2020 // No Comments
Shame on me...a cardmaker, not getting cards out the door.  I have to be honest.  I send A LOT of cards but I never seem to make a birthday, holiday or special occasion on time.  Card deadlines seem to be a problem. RAK cards, however, are a joy.  Continue reading →

DAY 1: FAUX EMBOSSING FOLDERS WITH JENNIFER MCGUIRE I am going to be upfront.  I failed miserably in creating and using a faux embossing folder.  I tried.  Embossing an image 10x just looked like a hot mess.  GIVEN I want... Continue reading →
