I’ve got a show coming up and I need more beads. To get my creative juices flowing I wander over to Pinterest to look around. I saw this striped disk bead tutorial from Chestnut Ridge Designs and thought I’d share it with all of you. When I get back over to the torch in a little while I’ll make a few of these. They look great when you stack them too. The tutorial shows two different styles of making a striped bead. One uses Twists and the other dots. I like both. And if you color coordinate them, even better.

How to Make a Trendy Capybara Card
One of the most popular and trendy animals right now are Capybara. These adorable animals are found in South America and are the largest rodents in the world. These cuties are popping up everywhere from photos on social media, to silly little songs, home decor items and now even paper crafting products.
Christy used a cute new stamp set from Lawn Fawn called “Capybaras!” to create this fun beachy birthday card. Since Capys love the water a beach card is such a perfect setting. She created her beach with ink blending and stencils with Distress Oxide Inks, adding some splatter to the sand. She colored all the stamped images with Copic Markers cutting them out with coordinating dies. And I just love the puny sentiment!
