DJ's Sundries

We should never lose the the feeling of thankfulness.  I needed to create some special thank you cards for Christmas, but having limited time, I needed something simple and still pretty.  I dug through my stash and found these card bases that I purchased some time ago.  I added some simple elements and these little cards were born. Supplies needed: Card bases - I believe these are from Recollections or DCWV Glitter paper Snowflake dies (I used ones from Close To My Heart) Thank you sentiment (I used one from "CTMH - Sunny Thoughts" set) Ranger silver embossing powder Silver sequins Foam tape Glossy Accents Please enjoy the video.

It's that simple but doesn't sacrifice charm for simplicity. Here's what you will need: Pre-made tags or material to make your own (cardstock, chipboard, file folders, cereal boxes, etc) Paper napkins with a small pattern or print White glue that will dry clear such as Elmer's school glue or Mod Podge Ribbon, yarn or some other string for your tops Ruler, scissors, pencil and hole punch The basic idea is to just use what you have.  If you have a die cutting machine, great.  If you don't have a die cutting machine, you can use a paper trimmer or just good old fashion scissors a...

I was blessed to work with someone this past year who was having a precious baby girl.  How could I not make her a special little card?  I dug deep into my stash and found this fun paper by Megan Elizabeth.  I've had this paper for years and don't know if you can find it anywhere, but it coordinates beautifully and was designed specifically for the Cricut.

Welcome to the 4th week of Christmas tags for 2019.  My goal for this series is 2-fold: 1. Create gorgeous tags for my loved ones 2. Use different techniques and supplies Today, I am highlighting one of my favorite mediums - watercolors!  I love using watercolors to enhance my cards and journals.  Now I'm pulling them out for the tags.  Don't let this item used by artists intimidate you.  I'm not an artist but I love the effect that I can achieve with them.  Watercolors are a great way to express your creativity no matter how much experience you have.  You don't have to buy expensive ones.  Just grab a set and start experimenting. Be sure to check out the video below for how these tags were made.  Don't forget the giveaway for your chance to win a set of of the tags from this series.
