I’ve shared some cards with you earlier but this set just screams treat to me so when I saw these spring themed brownies from Little Debbie on my local Ingles shelf I just knew I had to made them into a sweet treat. And because I wanted to give them out a bit earlier I went with one of the all occasions sentiments in the set.

I just love the fact this set has some all occasions greets for general use like this. So here is my sweet little treat that I whipped up in minutes.

Cute right? I’ve used the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper (160413) for these treats since the color pallet is perfect for spring and includes it’s Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia, and Orchid Oasis. And since it is 6×6 you can get 2 treats from each sheet! Making a ton of little brownie wraps and treats to pass out.

I’ve whipped up a quick videoed for you along with a PDF Tutorial too. Be sure to check out the supply list on it and the YouTube link that I include on each of my tutorials for quick reference. Print it out and you’ll be able to find everything you need in one place.

Greatest Journey Masking Technique Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card is one that I made for my daughters friend who loves to run and it uses a fun masking technique that you create with a Blending Brush. This technique can be a lot of fun and the options are endless depending on the colors you choose.

today’s card uses Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo – a color combination that struck me as a good choice for running. (And the fact they had thought of an orange car made me think it would be a hit. lol).

The card uses the Greatest Journey stamp set which is filled with some wonderful sentiments such as this one. Let me show you how I created this fun card in my video tutorial.
