Tips & Tricks from Jennifer

It's Jennifer McGuire, back with a new video using the February Daydream Believer kits. This time I created a set of cards and some pretty rosettes embellishments. You'll also see how to use the entire stamp set from Stepping Stone to create a background:

Here's a closer look at the cards...

Supplies: February Kit and Add-On Kits, Craft Sheet from Ranger (or other work surface), Thin Double Sided Tape (such as Wonder Tape or American Crafts Tape), Mister Hueys Cameo, Dewey, Estate Green, Heirloom Blue and Overdue, Glue Dots, Glossy Accents, Kraft Cardstock, White Notecards, Colorbox Frost White Pigment Ink, Hero Arts Black Dye Ink (or any black ink), String

Hope you enjoy this month's video!

These flowers are such a great idea, and that letter placement trick is genius! Thanks for a great video. =)

Thank you Jennifer for showing us how to make these cards from start to finish. I appreciate it so much. The tips you gave were great. i think I will buy this stamp set and make thank you cards for my daughter to give. She works at a preschool,so the ABC background will be perfect.

Oh I am really bummed that I missed the stepping stone add on kit, I fell in love with that alpha stamp! And now I see these amazing cards? Torture!!!

Posted by: Carikraft | 01/29/2012 at 10:46 PM

Bummer! It seems the "add on" kit is all ready sold out :( Any chance because it is a February kit there will be more?
