Today’s card is one I received from one of my Close To My Heart team members, Deb Mandac. It’s a wonderful example of a simple yet stunning Gate Fold Card.

Several weeks ago, I shared a tutorial on how to make a Right Angle Fold Over Card. Today, I’m sharing another card I made in this style. It’s a nice change of pace from the traditional style card for sure.
The Perfect Card for a Snoopy Fan
This weekend was my son’s birthday and he is a HUGE Snoopy fan. So of course I wanted to try and do some sort of Snoopy birthday card for him. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out and figured I’d share the card base for anyone else who might have a Snoopy fan in their life.

How to Make an Impossible Card
Today’s project is one where the name is simply so deceiving–it’s called the Impossible Card but truthfully it’s so impossibly simple to do! Usually, my love of crafting resonates strongly with my daughter but this card was way more in my son’s wheelhouse this time around. This design is based on a popular magic trick called the Hypercard Illusion trick and is one he himself has done (but it didn’t look as pretty!) Today I’m going to show you how simple it is to do so you can create your own.
Being Together Card
With the final days of the Seasonal Expressions 2 Catalog, I’m realizing just how much I’m going to miss the Fresh Air Collection. I think this collection was my favorite from this catalog.

Teapot Easel Card
Today’s card is a spectacular one! I received it from my friend Cindy Herman (she does beautiful work and this card is no exception!) At first glance there are several striking elements to this card-the use of acetate, stamping on glitter paper, stamping on vellum…
Happy National Failures Day!
Today, August 15th is National Failures Day! That’s right… it’s a day to celebrate failures! Seems a little weird, right? But it’s actually a pretty good thing. In fact, the teacher my kids had the last 2 years of school taught their whole class that the word fail actually stands for:
F=first
A=attempt
I=in
L=learning
