Card Making Tips and Techniques 4
I’ve been working with Green Sneaker’s Templates for over 4 years now, and there are few things I’ve discovered along the way.

Card Making Tips and Techniques 3
Here are two of my new favorite tips. I have fallen in love with Matchbook Style cards. I adore them. They end up being 4″ x 6″ (fits into an A6 envelope), and you can create 3 of them from one sheet of scrapbook paper. First, cut down a sheet to 4″ x 12″, then fold […]

Card Making Idea - A Simple Monogram Note Card
Here’s a nice idea for a gift. You can make a set of monogrammed note cards, create their coordinating envelopes, and tie the stack of them with a pretty ribbon. My mom had called me and told me that she had lots of Christmas cards that have gone unanswered, but said that she didn’t have […]
