Sharing my love for papercrafting

Hi friends!

I took a calligraphy class a year ago and wanted to incorporate it into my cards. But the calligraphy ink together with the cardstock doesn’t work, they really dont like each other and the ink bleeds everywhere… And as I couldn’t use calligraphy on cards I don’t write calligraphy as much as I used to anymore.

When I was re-organizing my craft space this weekend I found an embossing pen from Tsukineko that I forgot I even bought. ( Husband, are you reading – The pen was on sale. Or maybe even for free… ) And the best part?? It has a regular tip AND a calligraphy tip! Yay! So now I can write calligraphy and heat emboss it! I know I’m being a total nerd about this, but I’m so HAPPY! ( I love my Versamark pen also, but it has a bullet tip and a brush tip so I can’t use it to write calligraphy. )

I have to practice on my writing, I don’t think my teacher would approve the writing on this card, but hopefully I can get back to where I was with some practice. 🙂 So this is the story about how this card came together…LOL… I know, I’m a TOTAL CRAFT NERD….

By the way, “Hurra” means Horray in English.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and take care!

Hello crafty friends!

Today I created a baby card for my cousin who just received their second baby boy. I love babies and a part of me really would like to have another one….. But then I remember pregnancy and delivery and all that stuff and I’m perfectly happy with the two we already have. 🙂

Anyway, this is todays card and video, I used a lot of stuff from Paper Smooches and I’m in love with those cute elephants and that word die. If you are interested in the process of making this card, you can always look at the video. And as always, thank you so much for watching, subscribing, commenting and all thumbs up on my videos, I appreciate it more than you know!

All the supplies are listed in the end of this post, thanks for stopping by and take care!
