Grungy Altered Tiles for Christmas

Hi, Beth Norman here and I'm getting ahead of the game this Christmas; I'm putting together an 8" x 8" album for my son, highlighting some of the most memorable moments. I am using techniques from our newsletter throughout his book. On my title page I am using Grungy Altered Tiles. It was so easy to follow the tutorial from the Stampbooking CD.

August Newsletter!

Have a creative day!

Woven Art by Judy Jackson


Good day to all of you from Judy Jackson!

This technique is not hard and certainly gives a different sense of dimension and texture to your card than if you just used a flat printed image. Why don't I think of doing things like this? This particular image is from the several "sample pictures" that were just loaded on my computer in the pictures folder. So I have no idea whose picture it is! It works great for this technique from the June/July newsletter.

Stamps are from Stampin' Up! and PSX. I sprayed a gold glimmer spray over the surface of the card.

I hope your summer is going well, and you are finding time to craft with folks.

Cherish Friendship - Pastel Painted Embossing


I love to use the Pastel Painted Embossing Technique on embossed cards.  This easy technique from the Emboss or Die CD adds pretty depth to the background of a simple card. On this card, I colored the goose with pastels and a blender before layering him over my background. All stamps by Stampin' Up!.

The Emboss or Die CD has 79 tutorials, all in step-by-step pictorial format, showing you how to get the most from your embossing folders and die cut machines. Information on the Emboss or Die CD is HERE.
