Thoughtful Expressions Stack & Shuffle Cards!

Thoughtful Expressions Stack & Shuffle Cards!

I did my Facebook Live last night and featured 3 cards made with the Thoughtful Expressions bundle. I added a bit of interest though by doing the Stack & Shuffle method. Doesn't that sound like a country line dance or something?! That's the first thing I thought about. You can do this stack and shuffle method any way you want. I chose to make my cuts uniform and easy to duplicate. The trick is to do 3 pieces of paper at the same time. You probably don't want to use paper thicker than...

Excellent Eggs Card 1!

On my Facebook Live (and in class last week) I featured some Easter stamp sets/bundles. I'm going to share my first card today -- come back tomorrow for Card 2! It's going to be a super-quick post today because I'm already at work, waiting for my first patient to arrive. That being said, I may not have a whole lot of details to include because of time constraints! As hinted in the title, this card features the new Excellent Eggs bundle. (I'm going to link the YouTube video later in this post...
