News of Spring

Hi everyone! I decided to pull out my ephemera today to play in the challenge over at Simon Says Stamps. The them is "Layer it up", so I did.

I am using some of my new Spring ephemera from the Tim Holtz collection called Layers Botanical along with some additional pieces from K&Company. Here is a closer look.

I created the stain glass using some Lindy's Magicals. They were a lot of fun to work with, but boy did my fingers get dirty.

I finished it off with a sentiment from Graphic 45.

Did you know I started a new blog called "The Daily Enabler?" This is a site where I will compile ongoing Steals and Deals as well as coupon codes. I am also working on a comprehensive list of on line Craft Stores. Be sure to check it out.

Creating your own ephemera

Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the last few days of 2016. I decided I needed to make one more video before the end of the year and of course I wanted it to be a celebration of the new year and month that is just around the corner.

The paper I am working with is from Graphic 45 and is called Time to Flourish. I picked it because it had some great words and sentiments on one side and some vibrant images on the other.

I love creating layered cards and ephemera works great for this technique. But sometimes you can't find the exact ephemera that you want for your design.  So I decided to create a video to show you how I create my own.

To see how I created this card, click on the link above. This can work with any cardstock that has great vibrant images.

I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday Season and rest up for the new year. I am really looking forward to 2017!

For your convenience, I have provided a list of all the items I used to create this card.

Thanks for stopping by!
