Get Excited for Techniques Week! It all Starts Tomorrow!!

Are you bored doing same old thing for your handmade cards? I was too! So, I went online and I looked through tons of sites, did bunch of research and gathered these very best techniques! They make the same old boring cards really pop right out of the page.

Whether you're a user or a demonstrator, we all need different techniques!

Follow along! If you are like me, you've seen the techniques before but never really tried it! Why? You were too busy, you were too nervous, didn't have the right things! Well, I can only teach you. Don't let this be just like another time scrolling through pinterest! Try it along. Each day this week, I'll show you a new technique. Take out 5-10 mins of your time and try it out.

Want something to really help you get motivated for trying out the techniques?

Try out the technique and post in the comment section what you thought about it, whether it was easy, if you had issues trying it out. At the end of the week, I'll do a raffle of all the comments posted and the winner will get an ink of choice free from me!

The more comments you make throughout the week, the more times your name will be in the raffle!
So, commit! Set out 15 mins of your time each day this week to trying it out.

It all starts tomorrow....

Day 2: Color Block Technique

Welcome to Day 2 of Techniques Week! We made it through Day 1, I might have ink stains all over my hands, but they are stains of victory....and my husband was suspicious of why I wanted his shaving cream! Oh well, my mysteriousness is part of why he loves me! For Day 2, we're making this beautiful color block background on the card. You see how it just makes this whole card come alive? Step 1: Gather your goodies. You need a clear block ( I definitely recommend the stampin up blocks, they are the only ones this technique really works for).

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...
