Crafters are all about color, so chances are you’ll enjoy today’s downloadable class featuring the direct-to-paper technique. It gives you permission (if you need it!) to lay down full-strength ink for maximum impact. (The green vibe is strong with this one.) Just hold your open ink pad at a slight angle; then, using a light touch, lightly drag it across your cardstock using a continuous sweeping motion. Repeat with additional colors, then spritz the ink with water and watch the colors blend. To see another way to layer color, see the class download. Then choose your favorite—or try both!
It's a great way to reconnect with friends. Just click on the PDF file below for more ideas!!
I have a simple fun fold to share today which was my Facebook Live on Monday. I don't mind doing fancy folds but I like them simple. For this week's Zig Zag Card, I found a great way to do just that.
Following the video, create 2 Templates for the Woodgrain & Crisp Cantaloupe, it made the cutting so much easier. The larger Template is 5 1/4" x 3 1/2 with the right corner from the 5 1/4" to the 3 1/2" mark. The smaller Template is 3" x 2 3/4" and the right corner cut from 3" to 2 3/4".
Here is the video for your viewing pleasure:
I hope that you enjoyed this simple fun fold and video. If you happen to make a card using the instructions above, let me know by sharing it with me.
Don't forget that we have a Paper Share for thew new September-December Catalog.

the Sunset Coast and Vellum twice and adhere using Tear and Tape on
the back side of Vellum behind the Coastal DSP. Then attach the
Vellum piece hiding the Dimensionals on the DSP strips to the card
base.

it out using the 3 Banner Punch adhere with Dimensionals.
Die
cut the net in the Pecan Pie and attach using Dimensionals.
Die
cut the seashells in Crumb Cake and using Blending Brushes in Melon
Mambo, Pool Party and Night of Navy, to give the shells some depth,
and attach to the Dimensionals under the net and also using Tombo
glue.

I have been having fun trying out the Stampin' Up! Hot Foil System and was happy with the next card that I made using the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil. I used Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes teamed up with Berry Burst and Fresh Freesia for a resist effect.
Everyone knows that Autumn is my favorite time of the year and I couldn't wait to create a card using the new Simply Leaves stamp set with coordinating Punch.
Run
the Crisp Cantaloupe Layer through the Embossing Machine on the left
side using the Seasonal Cheer Emboss Folder-Leaves. Adhere to the
front of the card.
Adhere
the Crisp Cantaloupe Gingham DSP to the right side of the front of
the card.
Stamp
the different leaves onto the Crisp Cantaloupe scraps, oe in Calypso
Coral, one in Crisp Cantaloupe and one in Cajun Craze. Punch out
with the Simply Leaves Punch. Adhere the top leaf and bottom leaf to
the DSP side of the front of the card. Adhere the middle leaf to the
front of the card using Dimensionals.
Stamp
the Thanks greeting in Crisp Cantaloupe ink at the bottom of the
card.
Stamp
a card greeting onto the White piece, decorate and adhere to the
inside of the card.
I hope you like today's card, I sure did have fun making it.
