SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
Lori Pinto 
I wanted to do a picture tutorial on a gatefold card, and I liked the result of this card too much to use it JUST for demonstration purposes. And like I mentioned in my March Newsletter, in honor of my daughter having her first baby – very soon….I deemed the month of March to be …
This was a really quick card I came up with for no other reason really, than to use the cute lace doily! I started with a Mint Macaron card base and layered on a piece of Sweet Sugarplum card stock behind a slightly smaller piece of printed paper that was from the Succulent Garden DSP. …
I just love the Falling in Love DSP, especially the sheets that pick up the Sweet Sugarplum color. This card came to be from a scrap piece of the butterfly design in that pack. I just couldn’t let it go to the scrap bin…and I’m glad I didn’t! 🙂 I started with a Very Vanilla …
This card was way overdue (hence, the ‘belated’ in the title)! It was really quick to get together and I think it came out super cute! I love the color Pear Pizzazz with either Crumb Cake or Sahara Sand, and for this card, I went with the Sahara Sand. I used the Sahara Sand card …
It just does not get any easier than this card! That’s one of the reasons I plan to use this card as a Make & Take at next week’s Coffee and Cards Workshop. Since the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle is my February Bundle of the Month, I am hoping to give a little burst of inspiration …
I was so excited to use the Copper Foil Sheets that I purchased a while ago and just had not had a chance to get to them! Well, I finally got to them and I have decided I just love this paper! I am planning to use this card as my demo card for my …

This card took a little bit more time to come together…but well worth it, I think! It’s my second card this week from the Jar of Love Bundle because sometimes I just hate putting it away! 🙂 The supplies I used for this card were the Jar of Love Bundle (stamp set and framelit …
This card came together in a jiffy because my husband needed a card for a friend and colleague that was retiring! I used Smokey Slate card stock for the base and a piece of paper from the December Paper Pumpkin Kit for the layering piece. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set, Designer Tin …
This beautiful stamp set, Jar of Love is my all time favorite. Every single card comes out different in some way every single time ! 🙂 I used the Jar of Love Bundle (saving 10% when purchasing the bundle as opposed to buying the stamp set and framelits separately). And I decided to do …
Hi Friends, I just wanted to remind you to use the monthly host code when you place your order! It is located in the sidebar to the right. Just copy and paste it right onto your order. If you are not sure where to put it, check out the graphic below. By doing this, I …
I needed a birthday card in a hurry, so this was a nice easy design I came up with using the Falling in Love DSP. The stamp set is one of the free stamp sets that are available from the Sale-A-Bration catalog if you make a purchase of $50. It is called Avant Garden. This …
