I love this card by Kristina Werner. It is so simple yet beautiful. Kristina features a card and video every Monday and I try to watch them each week. If you haven’t checked out her Make a Card Monday video series (MACM) you are in for a treat!

I am seriously addicted to DCWV paper and own tons of their amazing card stacks. Their papers are easy to use, perfectly coordinated, can be purchased at Michaels or Jo-Ann Fabrics and you can even use a coupon to get a great deal! DCWV recently published an updated list of all their stacks and I just had to share. Have you ever purchased the same thing twice? I know I have and this will help me organize my paper stacks. Whew!

Kate from Small Bits of Paper recently participated in an Autism Awareness Blog hop and featured an adorable lamb card with a twist. Be sure to stop in for a visit and while you are there you may also want to check out the blog hop.

Yesterday I posted a video on how to make quick and easy zipper flowers. Here is a video by Evange demonstrating a more advanced zipper flower. I love her flower and am going to give it a try.

I can’t wait to order the new Cricut cartridge, Every Day Pop- up cards. In fact, I hope to pick one up at Michaels this weekend. As you probably know, there have been a lot of questions as to how to use this cartridge. I thought I would provide several links that will help you figure it out. Katie has several tutorials on her blog, Crafting with Katie showing how to make the pop-ups and also how to layer them. Be sure to check out Everyday Cricut and Obsessed with Scrapbooking for even more great tutorials. Also Provo Craft just posted photos on the Official Cricut Facebook page. I am so grateful for all the help and can’t wait to get this cart.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a terrific Thursday. Please stop in tomorrow for a fun new Easter card.

PS We’re always learning here at Paper Boutique and one of the things we learned was how to render my SCAL video so that it is clearer and sharper. To make a long story short, after many hours of trying different settings and different software, we finally have a version that is much sharper and shows more detail. If the quality discouraged you from watching the full video, please visit my SCAL post and try it again. Be sure and pick the HD setting for best quality. Thanks!
