We had my “Make a Guy a Card” class this past weekend and this was one of my favorites. I decided that since I find it so hard to make cards of the masculine type, I’d make a whole dedicated to it and drive myself nuts! Ha! This card uses quite a few techniques (splatter,…
Here’s our last fun and funky fold for the week – phew! I believe this one is called a tower fold – here is the view from the top: Fun, right? I goes together pretty quickly, too. Here are the measurements you’ll need for the paper: Here is a video showing the easy process of…
Last week on my social media accounts, I asked what you wanted to see more of – and fun and funky folds won. Don’t worry – if you voted for ways with window sheets and more way to use embossing folders – those will be coming up, too. Let’s start off the week with this…
Well, I won’t say with the weather getting warmer, ice cream has been on my mind. Here on Long Island, every time we get a nice warm day, it drops back down to the 40s or 50s with rain. Sigh – soon. In the meantime, let me warm your heart with this cute fun fold…

Here’s another masking technique that I definitely love but don’t use a lot. Again – I am not sure why because it’s fun and you can go in some many different directions with it. I used some color resist masking (with some added color block added in.) Here are the measurements quick: To start, I…

Here’s a sketch challenge (lucky #7) I’d like to share with you. This sketch can make a somewhat simple card – or you can jazz it up! Share your projects with me – in the comments below, email to jen@cardnmum.com, or post it to your social media feed using the tag #cardnmumsketches. I’d love to…
I’m sure you may have heard from me about how I was going to Houston last week for Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage convention . . .no? Hah! I may have talked about it a bit…sorry – it’s just so darn exciting. This event is for all demonstrators, regardless of title, and includes so much of everything…
The subscription period for April’s Paper Pumpkin kit is open. It’s called Delicate Wings – here’s some more details: Send elegant words of encouragement and support to those you love. I think the butterflies are perfect for Mother’s Day – I wonder what the sentiments included on the stamp set are going to be. I…
