   Now glue a piece of string to the center of the card base. Adhere to the die-cut pattern paper to the base, making sure to match the negative die-cut space. 

Here is a little video of the card spinning and how to prepare it for the envelope. 

    I used an Impression Obsession celebrate edger die. If you are new to these here is a quick tip on getting it right every time.  First, create a scoreline in the card base, make sure the cardstock is wider than the die. Line the die's score line on the card's fold scoreline. Use a low tack tape to hold it in place, Don't over tape the die to the card since the tape becomes more "permanent" once it is through the machine.
 
   Here is what the back of the card looks like once the edger is popped out. 

I used the bunting die from Frantic Stamperbelow the edger to mimic the banner embossed cardstock. The die might be little but cuts through the glitter and mirror cardstocks easily.

Sorry, for the long hiatus of the fashion series I was doing on Thursday's. Today's I am going to share with you the last one in the series.
 
   This is is super simple T-shirt extender. All you need is some knit fabric.
Directions:
1. Measure your waist.
2. Cut two pieces of fabric out making the top your waist measurement and the bottom bigger by 6"-8" bigger. it should look like a  trapezoid. Doing this ensures a snug fit in the waist and a more roomy fit around the hips.
3. Pin right sides of fabric together and stitch, I used a 1/4" seam allowance.
   That is it now you can have the layer look without the bulk. Plus, it adds modesty to that shirt that is just a tad to short or just won't stay down in the back.

I am sure any kid would love to make this because it allows them to get messy. 

Step 1. Mist the background paper with the Plain Jane mist. Splatter the Mantis chalkboard mist. Highlight some of the baking terms and items with the glaze.

Step 2. Add your cardstock and pattern papers.

Step 3. Mist the doily mask with the Plain Jane and chalkboard mists.

Step 4. Adhere polka dot paper and burlap. Use a nice thick liquid glue to adhere the burlap.
Step 5. Use the same glue to adhere the tags onto the fabric area. You can use regular adhesive for the one that is touching the paper.

Step 6. Tie twine to the recipe card and slide behind the top layer of pattern paper. This will be where you can write your recipe out on or the journaling.
Step 7. Add my all time favorite embellishment, a doily.

Step 7. Adhere mat and photo.
  This page is about a new recipe I found on Pinterest for Quinoa Pudding, think rice pudding. I made it last year for my mom on Mother's Day. She loved it.
   I would love to hear from my readers on how you like the step-by step photos on how I created my projects. Is there too many pics or steps, should I combine steps, etc? Am input is greatly appreciated.

I can't believe my term is almost over. Those 5 months flew bye. Since I don't want to leave after next month I am reapplying for another term on their card team.
I created this elegant Anniversary card for my Grandparents anniversary in a couple of months.
1. Start with the paisley paper and cut and fold it to make my card base.
2. Add the gold glitter and snowflake paper but first I punched the corners.
3. Add the deer paper and the ribbon across the front.
4. Add the the chocolate brown paper that has been punched. Adhere it with foam squares.
5. Cut a stripe of the black paper into a banner shape.
6. Adhere the stickers, heart and dew drops to the last paper panel.
Envelope Seal:
1. Cut a 1" circle.
2. Cut a small heat out of the gold paper and adhere to circle.

Last day to be entered in my RAK here.
Today over at The Robin's Nest blog I have a card that is perfect for today and any other "Love" occasion.

 Step 3. Give the banner a distress look by running a write-out tape on the edges and scraped some of it of with my craft knife. 

This is what it will look like.

 Step 4. Add distress pennant and hearts.
 Step 5. Color clothespin and glue tear dew drops.
Step 6. Add clothespin and ribbon.
For the envelope seal I just use a small glittered heart.
