Tuesday Tip
Would you like to make a really nice flat ribbon knot on your cards that will be easy to mail? Directions below the photo:
- Measure your ribbon to be about 4" longer than the card stock layer you are going to use.
- Tie the ribbon in the center around a pencil in a knot and slide it off the end.
- Cut the ribbon in the center of the loop left by the pencil.
- Hold one end of the ribbon while pulling the other end to tighten. Don't pull too tight or you will lose that pretty flat look. Now you can add to your layer by fastening with glue dots or tape on the back side. Trim your ends to suit.
You can use other items to tie your knot around, just remember that the bigger the item the longer your ribbon will need to be.
Don't forget about the Birthday Sale going on until 11:55 (mountain time) tonight. If you would like to make an order you can use this hostess code. FN9JHT2Q
Have a great day!

Tuesday Tip
Back again for another Tuesday Tip. I have several customers who have purchased the wonderful Farmhouse Christmas Suite. The tip for today is concerning the fence die from this set. This die cuts best when it is run through the machine in the vertical position. The pressure from the rollers is more even in the direction across the length of the die. The photo shows the position in relation to the die.
Have a great day!

Tuesday Tip
Hi! Welcome back for another Tuesday tip.
Today's tip is concerning a punch that may not be punching as cleanly as it has in the past. The good news is that it probably just needs to be sharpened. This is much easier than it sounds as the easiest way to sharpen a punch is by punching through aluminum foil. Yep, that's right.

I usually take a piece and fold it in half and punch through two layers at a time, maybe three or four times. It may take a few more times but this is what has worked for me in the past.
Have a great day!

Masculine Card with a Fall Scheme
Happy World Card Making Day!
Today's card is more masculine with a fall scheme. I struggle a little with masculine cards but this one came out better than I originally thought. This would also make a great sympathy card by changing the sentiment.
The 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base is Soft Suede. The DSP is Nature's Poem cut 2 x 5 1/4 attached with snail. The Cajun Craze layer is 2 3/4 x 5 and was embossed with all three of the embossing dies in the Nature's Roots thinlits. I aligned all three on one end of the paper and ran through the Big Shot. Then turned the paper, aligned again and ran through just to far enough to emboss the other end. This layer was also applied with snail. The stitched piece is Mint Macaron and was die cut with the Farmhouse Framelits. The sentiment was stamped in Cajun Craze ink on a Whisper White scrap and then cut to about 1 1/4 square. The ribbon is actually the Braided Linen Trim tied in a knot instead of a bow. I used two edges of my dimensionals on each side of the trim to add to the card, then added two more smaller edges either side of the trim to add the sentiment.
Hope you enjoyed today's share and thanks for visiting.
