Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Make a Center Picture Window Card!
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today! I am very excited to be bringing you a tutorial, showcasing the new Center Picture Window die from Lawn Fawn!
Interactive dies are so much fun to create with, which is why I was thrilled when Lawn Fawn released this Center Picture Window die; when finished, there is a whole new surprise when the card is opened! The 3D effect is so unique!
I’ve decorated my Center Picture Window card with stamps from the new Smooth Sailing stamp and die set, die cuts from the Palm Tree Border and Stitched Wave Border sets and of course, some Prisma glitter!
Want to learn how to make a Center Picture Window card?? Watch the video below and see how I did it!

Easy Teachers Gifts: Quote Magnets
Hi everyone, Anna-Karin Evaldsson here with you today! I am so happy to be sharing a fun and easy tutorial. I am always thinking of different gift ideas and last week I needed teachers’ gifts. I wanted to highlight specific quotes, and almost made notebooks, but they got notebooks last year, so I thought it was time for something else. Tim Holtz’s Lace Baseboard Frames happened to be lying on my desk right in front of me, and I got the idea of using them to make magnetic ornaments.
I made two magnets and you can easily change these by using different quotes, colors and embellishments. If you don’t want to make a magnetic ornament, you can just skip the magnet and turn the panel into a wall-hanging, card, or a notebook cover. This is an easy project with fun techniques using media such as crackle paste and embossing powders.
- Start by choosing two frames, and look through Tim Holtz’s Journal Cards to find cards that fit your theme. The journal cards are gorgeous, making it hard to choose. It is always a good idea to place the stamp on top, to make sure it will fit.
- I ended up picking these two cards, since my magnets were teachers’ gifts, and there were school-related items on these cards. I particularly like the ‘Book No 1801’ in the upper right corner.
- Smear Ranger’s Opaque Crackle Texture Paste on the frames with a palette knife, varying the thickness. The thicker the paste, the larger the cracks.
- Leave to dry and cracks will form. Paint with watered-down Distress Paint.
- When the paint is dry, dry brush a little acrylic paint on the frames. I used Dina Wakley’s Rosy paint for the pink frame, and her Ancient paint for the brown frame.
- Die cut gears using Tim’s Industrial die.
- Apply Ranger’s Emboss It Dabber to the gears, sprinkle with Mixed Media powders and emboss. Be very careful not to burn yourself. Do not touch the melted powder until it is completely cool.
- Stamp a butterfly on vellum with embossing ink and emboss with Aqua Tinsel powder. Repeat with white embossing powder.
- Die cut the butterflies with the coordinating dies and layer on top of each other.
- Color Gumdrops by adding a drop or two of alcohol ink to them.
- Stamp the quotes and add embellishments such as Tim’s Butterfly Design Tape.
- Glue the journaling card to the back of the frame with Matte Medium. Add a magnet at the back. You can also use a magnetic sheet. I later wrote messages at the back of the ornaments.
- I stamped a bike under the quote on the second ornament, which fitted well with the embossed gears.
I hope this tutorial inspired you to make some magnets, or to use crackle paste. Thank you so much for looking, happy summertime crafting!
