I've got another one to share today. This is kind of like a gift in a card. The card is super dooper simple to make and features one of my favorite easy techniques. I take 4 mondo post-it notes and rip the edges of them. Then I line them up on a card front to make a box. After that, I stamp the images using Vesamark ink. This time I chose leaf stamps. After I stamp all my images in the box, I take a cotton ball or a Fantastix and run different shades of chalk over top until my entire "box" is covered. This creates such a unique look. You can use just about any image you like and any kind of color scheme. Once you are done, stamp a neat setiment over top and fini! It's a quick and easy 10 minute card!
Now to the gift part. This would go to one of my knitting friends... because.. inside is a knitting marker that I made. When you knit more intricate patterns (like cables) you need to mark where you have to do certain stitches. These just slip on your needles so you can mark it up in style!
Off for now! Have a great day!

What a fun technique Julie.. will give that a try for sure and I love the marker you made for your friend.. and yes the spiral clip if perfect for the coffee card.
I just finished my Monday and Wednesday night classes doing cracked glass. The ladies liked it but thought it a bit fussy, having to rip the masking tape...
Have a great day..
