Hello.

I have a pop-up book card to show you.  I've made another tutorial for Splitcoaststampers and this is the end result.

Close-ups of the adorable images from Magnolia Stamps being featured, coloured with Letraset Promarkers and Pantone Trias, with a few coloured pencils to help with the shading:

- Tilda With Long Hair from the A Christmas Story Collection 2012

- Tilda With Tag Gifts from the A Christmas Story Collection 2012 

Magnolia Stamps are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store.  Although the stamps for these two images are not in stock as they from an older collection, you can find other equally adorable images there, full-size and minis.  And if you don't see the particular one you are looking for, ask Diana if she can bring it in for you.
Check out also the stamps from Wee Stamps, Wild Rose Studios, Candibeans and now Saturated Canary.  Prices are discounted!
Magnolia-licious also carries cutting dies.  ALL dies are currently on SALE at 25% off!!!  Have a look!
You get excellent customer service and what's more, you get to earn 2% in-store credit to be applied to future purchases.  Sweet!

Die Cut Swing Card - A Splitcoaststampers Tutorial

Hello!

I've done a tutorial for Splitcoaststampers...woo-hoo.  I was delighted when I was asked to do one.  The tutorial is titled 'Die Cut Swing Card'.

This is the card that I created for the tutorial.

And yes, I've done a similar tutorial for my own blog--which you can find HERE--but as you probably are aware most of the tutorials/templates on my blog are for my preferred-card-size of 6" x 6".  This tutorial I did for Splitcoastampers is for a 5½" x 5½" card, which is also a preferred-card-size to a lot of people.
You can check out the Splitcoaststamper tutorial HERE.

And the written instruction comes with a video tutorial.  Yeah, a big shocker...even to me.  I did my very first video tutorial!  It just goes to show that this old gal isn't too old to learn new things...tee hee.  Still feels weird hearing my own voice though--you know how that is!

This adorable image I used is from Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet and she is called 'Amy'.

The stamp is available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store.

Check out the rest of the Wee Stamps Collection HERE and of course Magnolia stamps, both full-size and mini.  And if you don't see the particular one you are looking for, ask Diana if she can bring it in for you.  
Check out also the stamps from Wild Rose Studios and Candibeans.
Magnolia-licious also carries cutting dies from various companies including Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Magnolia Doohickey. and other crafting tools such as Scor-tapes, Prima Chalk Edgers, flowers, etc.  Have a look!
Prices are discounted, you get excellent customer service and what's more, you get to earn 2% credit to be applied to future purchases.  Sweet!
