We made this tie-dye birthday card for my Club last month and it was a HUGE hit. It really is the coolest tie-dying coloring technique because it has that washed out look of an actual tie-dye t-shirt. We focused on the Soft Pastels last month and this card was the finale for all the projects. I love both the color…
The new Butterfly Brilliance stamp is LARGE. There are 6 butterflies on one stamp. The largeness is both a great thing and can cause a few (overcomeable) inconveniences. All at once, you can create an instant background or have 6 instant butterflies to cut with the coordinating Butterfly Wings dies. Color all the butterflies the same, or give them their…
The new Sand & Sea suite of products are unbelievably beautiful. The coordinating Friends are like Seashells stamp set, Seaside Seashells dies and Seashells embossing folder is an amazing trio that works so well together. There is a “proper” use of order to make them work so well together (it just makes it easier for you). I discovered there are…

This is very helpful when you want all those shapes, but can also make it a little complicated when you want to punch a certain shape or reduct paper waste. This punch hack can be very helpful for this particular Strawberry punch, but also…
You know how when you flip through the catalog (for the umpteenth time) and you see a stamp set that speaks to you?

This background looks best with an image stamped in black, like a silhouette. You can vary this technique a little bit with different color choices and darkness levels. Another tip I will show you is how to…

Be sure you are on my mailing list so you don’t miss the announcement – sign up right here for my mailing list – www.mailsomethingpretty.com/signup. I featured three new product…
I am absolutely in love with this card! Or should I say I “amour” it? I saw this card on Pinterest and knew I needed to make it, but the designer did not give any directions or measurements. I figured it out and wanted to share it with you so you could make it too. The best part about the…
Have you seen or used the Snowman Builder punch yet? It’s fantastic and coordinates perfectly with the Snowman Season stamp set. You can stamp & punch the snowman base, hat, arms and nose. I want to show you two easier ways to line up the Snowman in the punch, rather than stamping and punching each piece individually. You can do…
