I am always on the lookout for new ways to create amazing effects with simple techniques. One of the techniques I have found to be incredibly eye-catching is the spotlight effect that can be achieved using ink. It's as easy as daubing on a bit of chalk ink to create a dreamy border or layering inks to create a colorful sunset.

Readers Reach Out
Stamp to Cope Update Jeannette Jones, executive director of Stamp to Cope wrote and shared the following note: the response from the CardMaker readers has been more than wonderful! So far, we have received over 1,000 cards. The really cool thing to see, however, was how many boxes were from women's groups that had survivors among their members. These groups sent notes about how they spent a meeting or two just focusing on creating cards for STC. Another super surprise has been the packages from organizations and individuals who researched more about us and sent crafting supplies, homemade survivor pins and stacks of previously released CardMaker magazines to put in our tote giveaways! I cannot thank you enough for allowing us to be a part of this project -- cards are still coming almost every day. Thank you.
