I love getting new e-books from Helios Glass. They’re always perfect for the moment, as is this new one, Ending Fused Glass Disasters. One of my last slumps had me sighing in sadness since a bulge was right in the middle of what would have been a beautiful platter. Glass can be a cruel mistress. I know what went wrong with that firing but sometimes you look at the result and just scratch your head…why? This e-book will answer a lot of questions and hopefully keep you from having to turn your project into a mosaic or the glass into scrap. Go over to Helios Glass and check it out as well as all their other e-books. Paul has so much glass info in his head to share…and he is very kind to share it.

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.
