A good friend of ours, Gretchen Sheridan, has been kind enough to share her card making talents with us and you, our readers. She does a combination of painting, inking, stamping and scrapping to come up with her one-of-a-kind creations. I’ve given a few of her cards to friends and family and the recipients are always pleased with the homemade touches.

Chica and I are proud to offer a select line of Gretchen’s cards in our store. We hand picked our favorites that would also cover a wide variety of occasions. For more of Gretchen’s unique designs, visit her blog.

One of our favorite ideas Gretchen showed us was her swinging card design. We asked her how we could make them ourselves and she kindly shared her technique with us in this easy-to-follow downloadable tutorial.
