This one’s for my baby sister. 22 last week! The card turned out beautifully. I have always loved the gated look but sometimes it ends up feeling really bulky and heavy so this is a gated card using transparent paper. MONO Vellum adhesive and a few rub-ons. You can’t see the adhesive and it’s strong enough to hold up to the continuous opening and closing of the card. I’m sure I’ll be making more like this, I love how quick it came together and how different it feels. What have you created lately using your Mono Vellum Adhesive?

Every year we’re in a mad rush the night before Valentine’s to make up 4 dozen class Valentines. This year, I thought ahead thanks October Afternoon’s farm fresh line. After the kids used all the stickers on their cards last month, I knew that the adorable images were too cute to run out of! So I ordered the stamp set too. I also went online and ordered a bunch of these cute pig noses for my daughters pre-school class and some silly piggy key chains for my son’s Kindergarten class. You could make these with any pig item and some candy kisses. Try mini pigskins (footballs), small pig stuffed animals, or even pig pencil toppers. Whatever you can find! To make these fun Valentine’s… Continue Reading

To top it off she uses TOMBOW on ALL of her projects! She’s a doll to work with and her creativity just makes you want to be around her hoping it will rub off onto you!

 Marie Browning is at CHA this week doing an adorable make and take project. 

Check out her video on facebook – HERE!  Make and Take

The trick to making the colors blend like watercolors is The Blender Pen! First to use the brush side of any coloron any piece of plastic (an old cd, or other non-porous surface) Then using your blender pen you can pick up your chosen ink color to pull the colors into your stamped image. Start shading where you want the color to be the most intense then gradually work in tiny circle to lighter shades. Work in small area at a time and don’t over blend. It’s super easy and the effect is BEAUTIFUL!  The Blender Pen comes with any of our 10 piece sets and our 96 color set. Try this technique on your next card or layout. We’d love to see what you come up with! Because it’s CHA, and because we’re excited about this awesome technique, post your project using this technique here or on our Facebook profile before Thursday at midnight and on Friday we’ll choose 1 lucky artist to win a set of 10 dual brush markers from our new line!
