The great thing about creating your own gift items is that you can make matching cards. Yesterday I posted anniversary frames that I made. Today are the cards that match. They are gate fold cards that use the Night & Day and Cast a Spell Designer Series Papers, which are still available for as downloads for My Digital Studio. Several Punches: Scallop trim border, 1 3/4" circle and Jewelry Tag. The new Clearlit die. Let me know what you think!   Gift Frames 07/15/2010
Are you looking for a quick and easy gift? Don't know what to buy? Make it yourself!  This was so much fun to create. Start with a plain, unpainted wood frame and paint it white. Use texture paint and Mostly Vintage Decor Stencil to add depth and texture. Once it is dry, sponge silver ink through stencil onto raised image. Use Artistic Etchings with black and silver ink to stamp on the frame. I used My Digital Studio to create the Happy Anniversary inserts.   New Idea Book & Catalog is here! 07/09/2010
