Quilted Punch Box

I can't remember whose blog I saw this cute little box but I thought it would be a great box to hold these cards. I wish I could say it was fun lining up those squares but it wasn't. But it was worth it because I love how this came out!

Black Magic Technique

This was technique I did a while back. I believe it is the black magic technique. It looks so much better in real life. What I did was stamp the image in versamark and heat embossed it in white. Then with the SU! watercolor pencils just colored it in over the embossed part.

Welcome Baby!

I hardly ever get send out baby cards but I thought I would make some up. I made up two versions: one for a boy and one for a girl. The pink came out really light. I should have used a different pink.
