What a brilliant (dare I say shining) idea!! Thanks for sharing your creativity!!
Connie, I love this tip and passed it on to the cardmaking classes I attend. It’s easy, quick, and makes a card pop! Just love it. I love how you used it with the dies that have “shadows”. It’s such a great look! Enjoy your day!
Can’t wait to try this, Connie! Thanks for all you share, and have an awesome Easter weekend!
Hello Connie
As always, a great idea for a beautiful & different card, I’ve used the shipping tape on praying hands that I stamped (however I cut the excess off by hand) I never thought of cutting with dies. I am pretty new with die cutting… I’m looking for that flower die set you used.
Thank for all of your great inspiration!!!
You Rock!!!
Hi Connie, Two questions: 1. For the spring retreat can we watch the classes on our own time schedule or does it have to be live? 2. I looked through the catalogue and could not find the die with Thanks You and the one with amazing you. I also found the “pierced Blooms die but it was listed as $37 not $18?
You can watch Live, you can watch the replays of the Live OR we also have pre-recorded videos that are a little more ‘short and to the point’. These are available forever. As far as the Pierced Blooms dies, the catalog will say $37 but it is on sale for $18 when you order it.
Connie, I left several comments on your Tuesday, April 19,2022 blog, but they never showed up. If you get this, please tell me where I can find the instruction for the Sweeat As A Peach card that you showed on Homemade cards that double as a gift
Hi Opal! The link to all the cards is in the free download. Hope this helps!
Connie where do I find the adhesive sheet you used?
You will find that on page 127 of the new catalog – Item #152334. Hope this helps!
