Currently reactive glass really makes my hearts race, in a good way. I love it in bead making and have been exploring it more and more in kiln forming. You all may know that from some of my postings here. Well, for those of you on the east coast, Vitrum Studios is offering a three day class in reactive glass. So jealous…want to go…want to play with reactive glass. Wait a minute, I do. And so should you. It’s amazing stuff. Whether it’s Bullseye’s range of glasses or if you’re a bead maker and you use Double Helix or Reichenbach reactive glass really is magical.

How to Make a Tri-Fold Spring Bird Card
Add some interest to your card making with a tri-fold design. A tri-fold card has three sections that overlap in a zig zag to create dimension and a little extra interactive element to the design instead of a traditional single fold card. Ilina used new stamps and dies from Hero Arts to create her Tri-fold Spring Birds Card.
The bottom layer of her design is the first flap and it’s got die cut grass, purple flowers and the heat embossed white sentiment, the next layer has different pink flowers and the two birds sitting on a hill, the last layer is the inside of the card with a hedge of greenery where you can add a hand written or stamped sentiment inside. She used markers to add additional color to her images. You can watch her video tutorial over on the Hero Arts blog.
