More lamp work tutorials! I’m totally addicted to Pinterest cause there are so many cool pictures and projects and inspirations! I saw this tutorial about making frit twisties and knew I had to share it. It comes from Art Jewelry Elements and is super easy to do if you have some bead making experience. What’s really cool about this tutorial is that if you save your small ends of your bead making glass and crush those up into frit you can make a great assortment of what I like to call “frit cocktails”. You can really expand your color palette.

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.
