Ornamental Pine Christmas Card
In this Ornamental Pine Christmas card I used our Blendabilities to color over the white embossed branch and most of the pine needles. Using alcohol markers to color over embossing can eventually clog up the nibs of those more expensive alcohol markers and NOT something you’d want to do because you’d have to replace the […]

Simple birthday cards start with a good stamp set and design.

It never fails, whenever I grab my Kinda Eclectic stamp set for my handmade card designs, I always seem to use Work of Art, too (or vice versa). This one is no different, though I only used PART of a greeting this time. I simply used a Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up the part […]
