"Proper Cards"!!! We have some fabulous talented ladies who teach & shop here at Pickleberry! Let me share their cards, then my feeble attempt at what we called "proper cards" We had some great light-hearted banter last night, inserts or not?! I so struggle with layering, matting, precision much to Jean & Heathers' amusement! So first to one of Barbara's cards which she taught here last week with Artemio Baubles Stamps And my version from last night.... Jean made us a Wonderful Card, isn't it gorgeous! Thank you & for the use of some your pearlesent card ;) Here's a Stunning one from Heather who used an amazing Dreamweaver stencil, thanks Heth! Here's another we received from a lovely customer Anne, thanks Anne it's amazing, I love the embossing!
So now to one of mine which I had to resist the urge to distress & use copious amounts of foam pads (needs to be flat for posting!) Thanks to Jennie for the loan (again) of the Sizzix Ornaments die ;) Ok I lied, there's a teeny bit of Dusty Concord on the hanger thingy! Paper Flower Tutorials & Templates.

Or so she says...: Rolled Paper Tree Tutorial (she: Kimberly) Honeycomb Ornament. Today I am sharing a tutorial on how I made a Honeycomb Ornament using my Cricut E2 and the Paper Trimmings cartridge (but you can use any cartridge that has a similar ornament). This is Gaby and am thrilled to have remembered that the 15th is the third Thursday in December and not the second.... long story.... Sheila knows... :) -- On to my project! There are several tutorials on how to make a honeycomb out of paper in the WWW. Actually, I knew the basics of making a honeycomb such as pretending there is a clock face and place glue at 3, 6, 9 and 12 when creating a honeycomb circle (or similar such as a pumpkin, apple, etc.). Next layer you place glue at 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 and 10:30. Following layer, you go back to 3, 6. 9 and 12....alternating until you are done. Step One - Cut 18 of the same design. Step Two - Fold the 18 pieces in half. I used the thinnest paper I had.
Step Three - Use one of the negative spaces to mark ones and twos, alternating the numbers. Closer look at the numbers. Advent Calendar. Done at last buts it's taken a while!
