Check out the measurements and video tutorial using thie link!

Sunset technique
Layer yellows, oranges, and reds using sponges or sponge daubers to create a beautiful sunset, then stamp scenery in back to create the silhouette. Use the link attached to see the video tutorial.

Ink blowing birthday card
Load a water painter with ink from an ink refill, then blow on it through a straw to spatter it on your paper. For a video demonstration, click the link!

Masked border card
Put a 1" make across the center of a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white or vanilla cardstock. Stamp images on the edge of the mask, then remove the mask. I used narrow strips of brushed metallic cardstock to clean up the edges of the imagery. See attached video link for tutorial.

Notecards with envelopes
This is a one sheet wonder, of sorts. Make two square cards and embellish the envelopes with one sheet of 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper - in this case, Gilded Autumn. For measurements use the attached video link for a Christmas version.

In the Pines Thinking of You card
Use some Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to embellish the trees, which are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink twice, without reinking the second time.

Love you Crossover Gatefold card

Adhere one to the upper half of the left side of the gate and the other to the lower half of the right side of the gate so they cross each other as the card closes. See video attached.

Strippy Christmas card
Start with a piece of 3 3/4" x 5" neutral cardstock to use as your backing for the strips. Use strips of Designer Series Paper and cardstock 1/2" - 3/4" x 6" or so. Start anywhere on the background piece, and adhere a strip at an angle. Add strips on both sides, continuing until that neutral piece of carstock is full.
