From April to June, BackToPaper is one of the digistamp sponsors for the CDAC Progressive Freebie Challenge. The idea is to create cards with the first image and progressively get more freebies as you enter your card creations – up to four images/sets of digistamps for playing along. What are you waiting for? These are [...]
Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association (WIMA) suggests you take advantage of National Handwriting Day on January 23 and use a pen or a pencil to rekindle that creative feeling through a handwritten note, poem, letter or journal entry. Just found out that today is national handwriting day and it felt like the perfect kind of day [...]
Take a peek at these beautiful cards made by Jeannie from Dragonfly Journeys. I had to share her creative cardmaking, not to mention that they feature my BackToPaper digital stamps *wink*wink* I’m always so delighted to see how crafters are creating with my designs. It’s the most satisfying thing to learn about how my work has [...]
For some Copic coloring today, I printed out my balloon girl digital stamp that I drew some time ago. It’s not really a valentine image, but I added a heart with my white gel pen on the balloon to make it lovey dovey. Alternatively, I could have written something or popped up a punched heart… you [...]
In a rush today, but wanted to create something high impact…so I just cut out a heart shape in thick paper and painted it red. Then using ultra thick embossing powder, heat embossed it with 3 layers…creating that high gloss. The letters LUV are on the first layer, but they turned a bit yellow with [...]
Something super simple for today…I actually used a free digital download from 2ps and used it as my sentiment inside. The card front just says love with a row of punched out hearts on the bottom. I’ve always had the idea of punching out hearts and using the negative as a design element. I can’t [...]
I saw a faux envelope online that was just a white piece of cardstock with score lines, so I decided it would be a cute element for a card. I punched out a little heart – yes, I love them – to add on and then sort of got stuck. I wasn’t really sure what [...]
I’ve seen a lot of stair step cards out there and started mine after randomly folding my cardstock. Although It’s really just a back and forth fold in my case – not one of the more complicated versions, I think it’s still a nice variation to the regular flat card. I added my little punched [...]
Today I wanted to go with something simple, just a mini tent or matchbook type of “card” if you can call it that. Really it’s just a case for the chocolate I want to leave for my hubby. I used a strip of pink and white polka dot patterned paper to wrap around the chocolate piece with [...]
I saw a blog post on i heart faces with really great ideas for photo valentine cards and decided to give it a try. Although the ideas were presented with kids as models, I figured my dog wouldn’t be able to post properly. Instead, it’s cute to do a little something for your hubby in [...]
