Chantilly Paper Lace Inspiration | Elegant Floral Cards with Melissa. Part 3
Hi! Melissa Phillips here with you again today, sharing a couple of extra Chantilly Paper Lace cards! Catch my previous posts sharing inspiration with this collection here and here.

The Coraline’s Chemise Layering Large Frame Die is the perfect way to dress up a Valentine card and take it to the next level. The details of the Coraline’s Chemise Die are…

Let’s Get Squared Up – From Rectangle to Square Card
I always want to get the most out of my die templates, so I thought about taking a large rectangle card front and squaring it up to give it a different look. I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and my card today takes a simple rectangle die, cuts it up and reassembles it as a square card. By doing that, I’ve kept my favorite parts of the die and have created a new look in the process. Last year one of the dies I introduced was the S6-112 Graceful Frame Maker. This die takes a panel of paper and miters it into four identical pieces. You want to do this with a symmetrical…

Video Friday | Dimensional Valentine with Kelly
It’s Kelly Latevola here and I’m so excited to be sharing a fun dimensional valentine with you today. Valentine’s have been on the forefront of my mind lately. Once I saw this set, with that font, I was sold! I started by laying down a super light blend of Salty Ocean Distress Oxide. I flicked on a bit of clean water and perfect pearls to add some interest to the background. I stamped the Bee Any Sweeter Stamp three times. Once on white, once on my background, and again on the background after I adhered the heart. This makes sure all the lines for the sentiment are flush. I did a…

Easy Elements In a Row Card
Sometimes I like to mass produce cards for friends, but I never quite want to make them identical. I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and I have an easy card to share with you today. Take a stunning element and repeat it in a row three times and you’ll get a harmonious design, furthermore the eye loves the balance of the three elements in a row. The sum of all the parts creates a unique piece with balance and simplicity. Tip: Stick to an odd number of elements in a row to create visual appeal. Your brain and eyes favor an odd number. For my card today I created a long landscape…
