It’s Friday!
Woohoo! Gotta love Fridays.
Today I have a quick video showing a simple card that features both a gift card holder and a chalked background. The background of this card features a soon-to-be-released DesignBlock stamp. (A sneak peek just for you!) And be sure to scrolling down because we have another fabulous guest artist!
And I noticed many of you mentioned that you enjoy visiting this blog each morning while sipping on a cup of coffee. So I figured a coffee-themed card would be fun…
Supplies:
- Sparkle Clear Coffee
- DesignBlock Friendship Grows (coming soon!)
- Versamark Ink
- Black Memories Ink
- Zig Glue Pen
- Prisma Glitter
- Hero Arts Mocha Notecard
- Other: Chalk (Pebbles), cardstock (Bazzill), colored pencils (Prismacolor), corner rounder (Fiskars), sewing machine and gift card
Now it is time for our guest artist - Jamie Waters. Jamie is one of the sweetest gal I have ever met. And she is so incredibly talented! Not only is she a fabulous stamper and scrapbooker, but she is an amazing photographer. See that great photo of the Hero Arts artists up on the top right of our blog page? Jamie took that! Well, I was so very excited when she agreed to play along with our background challenge this week. I just love how she cut a large “2″ from a stamped DesignBlock Birthday image. Love it!
Supplies:
- DesignBlock Stencil
- DesignBlock Birthday
- Floral Accent Set
- Colorbox Chalk Ink Primary Queue
- Colorbox Chalk Ink Rose Queue
- Various Hero Arts Gems

Thanks for sharing, Jamie. For more details and fun, you can visit Jamie’s blog.

But this week I attended 5 classes via the blog and your great videos! You cannot imagine how I have enjoyed them and how knowlegeable I feel I am now!!! WOW! I will spend the weekend practicing all my new skills! Make it a great one!
