Penguin Place and the Penguin Playmates Sale-a-Bration Paper

I love these little penguins and I knew that this set was on my wish list when I first saw it.  We weren't able to see the Sale-a-Bration offerings at the same time and when we finally did, I was excited that there was this coordinating paper.  I just love it!  With my ScanNCut, I was able to cut out a bunch of the little penguins, foxes and polar bears from one sheet to add to the inside of this card.

Sweet Stockings Filled With Puppies & Kitties

Puppies and kitties!  Who doesn't love puppies and kitties and don't they just make you smile?  Combine them with the holidays and you just can't feel sad.  I love that Stampin' Up! provided dies to cut out the stockings from the coordinating designer series paper but I used my ScanNCut so I could cut a full sheet out while working on the rest of the project.  I love how this card tucks into the bottom right

Merriest Moments Using the Alcohol & Blends Technique

I bet you have been seeing several people creating cards using the rubbing alcohol and blends marker technique.  Well, here is mine for you too!  Remember that you need to use 91% alcohol - the 70% alcohol won't work as well.  Also I found that you will get a different look depending upon how you apply the alcohol.

If you smooch (yes, a technical term) the alcohol onto the vellum by loading a paint brush with alcohol and then pressing down onto a spot, you will get larger spots like in my sample here.  Just remember not to get too much alcohol - otherwise you won't get the cool lines.  A little goes a long way.  Wait a bit between applications as the alcohol will move.

If you load your paint brush and then tap onto the side of your finger to splatter the alcohol, you will get a totally different look with smaller spots.  You can even do a combination of both!

Fun Fold Card using Whimsical Trees

I love a fun fold card.  I just think they add a little bit more of a wow factor to your cards.  My challenge is figuring out what to call them.  Some are easy to figure out but it seems like I see different names for the same folds.  This one I am going to call a Two Sided Fold Card.  What would you call it?
