Flirty Flamingo Part 1: Marble Technique

Rise and shine, beautifuls!! It's Day 1 of the Techniques week! I hope you are as excited as I am. 
Follow along with the tutorial and post comments. Each comment gets you added into the raffle pool. At the end of the week, I'll pull out one name and the winner gets an ink pad for free!! 

This is the card I made using the marble technique! Check out the instructions below and you can use this technique too. It's really easy!! I promise!


Step 1: Grab a shaving cream, shake it up, get something to pour it on! 


Step 2: Spray the shaving cream around on a plate. 


Step 3: Get the ink refill colors that you want and drop colors onto the shaving cream! 


Step 4: Take a whisper white cardstock (colors show up best on the white, but you could use this on any paper)




Step 5: Scrape away the shaving cream ! 


Step 6: Dry and clean out the paper, and you've got your marble paper! It really is that easy! 



Alright, see how easy that was. Go do it! No excuses! If you don't try it now and you keep putting it off, you'll never do it. 

This is the part 1 of the tutorial that makes the Flirty Flamingo Card. This paper is what I used as a background for my flamingo card! Part 2 to come later.

Organized Card Giver Post #2: Prepare to Succeed!

Hey everyone,  If you’re reading this post, it means you’re somewhat serious about the New Year’s resolution to send cards to people you care about. Do me a favor and give yourself a quick pat on the back from me. Starting is half the battle.  Actually, it’s more important to start, than to succeed. People that start something are usually the ones that end up finishing strong. I tend to procrastinate, just like everyone else. But, just like with anything, if I tell myself, just start….just run for 5 mins, just workout for 5 mins, just clean for a minute, I build momentum to keep going forward. Then when the time is up, its not so bad. You can keep going more… That’s exactly what we’re going to do this week. We’re going to start strong. That’s all you need to do for this week. I know the New Year’s doesn’t start until a month from now, but we want to actually hit the ground running as soon as the new year hits. So, preparation is the key here. For this week#1, and...

Transform Your Crates With A Distressed Look

Happy Monday everyone! Let's start out the week with something to look forward to. I don't know about you, but I always enjoy planning for a project and looking forward to doing something creative. You ever have any projects that you have been planning for a while? This past weekend, Ray and I, worked on a DIY project that we had been talking about for a while. It finally happened, and it was oh so rewarding!  We tranformed our crates and gave it a grey distressed look!  Instructions: This is the before picture! The crates are just your ordinary run of the mill crates, that I got from Michaels. You can get your wood or crate of choice that you would like to distress.  Start with a Dark Walnut Stain ( Minwax Woodstain 2716). Coat with the entire crate/wood with the stain. Use a rag and wipe the excess stain. The longer you keep the stain, the darker the grey stain, and less you keep the stain, the lighter grey it will be.  Take a r...
