    Good Vibes Only – Colorful Liquid Color Background Tutorial

    August 3, 2018 / 9 Comments

    This week Creative Director Kim Kesti shared a fun paper crafting technique with Liquid Colors and we think you’ll love it!  You can see the video right here.  Make sure you leave Kim a comment and let her know how much you enjoyed her lovely card and all of the fun she had trying something new. Isn’t this beautiful?  It really feels like summer — all of the best parts!  [Because we all know sometimes the idea of summer is better than the actual season — sometimes it can be *too* hot, right?!] Not only that, it’s very fun to send AND to create.  Let’s take a quick look at…

    Elegant Cardmaking With PanPastels

    July 10, 2018 / 3 Comments

    Did you know that each Friday afternoon we share a new paper crafting or cardmaking technique with you LIVE on the FSJ Facebook page, and YouTube channel? This week we featured a simple and beautiful technique featuring PanPastels and the stunning Rose Garden background die. This is positively stunning, isn’t it?  Let’s take a look and see how this card was created: The first step is to spread PanPastel color on a background panel, where the roses from the Rose Garden Die Set show the background paper. There’s a beautiful blend and build up of color with the Rose Gold, Copper, Raspberry Berry, and the pink & yellow from the Confectionary…

    Partial Die-cutting for Handmade Cards

    June 19, 2018 / 4 Comments

    Say thank you with this bright summer card featuring a fun partial die-cutting technique. Talk about a card that feels like summer!  This one is perfect for sending to anyone that you need to thank for their kindness and generosity.  With it’s clean and simple design, there’s nothing fussy about this one! We used a partial cutting technique with our Floral View Die Set and the Journey Platinum Machine.  Simply, this means letting the part of the die that you do not want to cut hanging out of the end of the “sandwich”.  This way, there’s no cutting happening on that portion of the cardstock panel. Don’t you love these…

    April 12, 2018 / 3 Comments

    Hey there, Fun friends!  We’re excited to share with you another beautiful Try Day Friday project created LIVE on our Facebook page.  It’s such a fun feature we share each Friday.
