Card Tutorial and a little bit about Card Kit Subscriptions

Hello Everyone!

Yes, us chicks are still around. We blame life for our disappearing act from the blogging world. Things have been busy crazy for us as it has for you I am sure. But we have been keeping our Instagram account updated and post things often. Feel free to check us out there (@threechickswithgluesticks). In fact, one our followers had a question about a card we posted. What a perfect time to do a video!! So we thank all our followers there, here and well everywhere. On to the project today....we used this adorable stamp from CC Designs along with some inks from Stampin Up, distress tool and stencil from Simon Says Stamps. See how clean the distressing is?  Watch our video to see how we did that clean and straight stencil look. Here is the card we made today.




Speaking of busy..........

Another favorite online store that we love has monthly Card Kits is Stampin Up. They have high quality products and their CK are different in that they come with ink pad and clear block.
