A Special Technique

The first card was featured at one of my club events.  I wanted the background to stand out, so we die cut a two-step stamped flower and placed it so you could see the background.

THIS card.  When I saw this technique - WOW!    When I first saw this card it looked like the butterflies were inlaid on the background.  They're not.  Each butterfly is popped on top of the colored background with dimensionals. 

This technique uses blender brushes!  I made a stencil from this single-die cut that cuts out all six of these butterflies, then layered Calypso Coral, So Saffron, and Daffodil Delight with a swirling motion so each butterfly had a bit of each color. 

The greeting comes from the Many Messages stamp/die cuts.

Hidden Surprise Fun Fold Card

This is the first video I filmed for crafting!  I've been on Zoom calls with students teaching Math since August, so I feel I've got a little experience.  Since we've been out of school on Intersession, and snow days, I've had to teach Math from home.  It's practically impossible without a document camera.  My husband stepped in to save the day, and ordered one for me!  The beauty of having my own camera like this - I can use it for teaching, and I can use it for crafting! 

I'm still working out some bugs (like the shadow issue), but it seems to be working just fine!  

I hope you enjoy my first crafting video.
