    Adding Texture and Dimension to Monochromatic Cards

    May 14, 2024 / 6 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends, I’m Adrienne Boese and you can find me online as Alice Scraps Wonderland both on Instagram and on my blog. Today I’m going to be sharing some ideas for monochromatic cards, specifically, how to add texture and dimension, especially when you are working with a single color of cardstock for your card. There are a few ways you can add texture and dimension, but one that is really is by using dimensional stickers, like the Timeless Butterfly collection, which are the feature of this set of cards!

    Hello everyone! This is Hussena from Quill and Punch Works, and I am so excited to be back today to share a couple of projects using the Through the Garden Gate Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. The GORGEOUS garden-themed dies and heartfelt greetings in this collection inspired me to create a set of three cards perfect for sending to your friends and family!

    February 21, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Spring Into Glimmer Collection from Spellbinders.  The gorgeous foil plates and beautiful sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three cheery springtime cards for different occasions. The beautiful blooms and leaves in the Glimmer Edge Flowers Plate Set are perfect for so many types of projects.  Here I added a pretty gilded bouquet to the center of this foiled and partially-embossed card front for a cheerful thank you card.
