When it’s all said and done, I will have spend at least 5 years of my life playing with fonts. Don’t lie. You’re the same way.

I will sit and search for fonts for hours. I’ve dreamt of fonts. I’ve got a problem. Clearly.

So obviously, I’m a little bit obsessed with all the handwritten, scripty sentiment dies that have come on the scene recently. I love this one, this one and I really love this one.

With my love of fonts and a little creativity, I came up with this simple technique for creating beautiful focal points on simple stationery. If you saw THIS, THIS or THIS post from the Damask Love archives you already know how to create partial die cuts – so today we’re taking that technique one step further with a quick, simple variation. Here’s how it’s done

  7. OMG Are you kidding me with this!!??? You seriously are like a crafting genius. I don’t know what you call it but I love handwritten script fonts that begin and end off the page.

  8. Wow! I’m just loving how you glued one piece of paper to another piece of paper. But my real question, is HOW did you fold that paper and WHAT kind of glue exactly? (big jk) You really are so talented and I’m so honored I got to meet you in person at Alt!!

  9. The assignment writing platforms like http://www.12y.org provide crucial academic support and learning resources for international students. They can address language barriers, offer professional knowledge assistance, save time and energy, and aid international students in improving their academic grades. However, international students should understand the proper usage of assignment writing platforms and maintain academic integrity while using them. These platforms should be seen as learning aids rather than substitutes for independent studying by international students. By utilizing assignment writing platforms correctly, international students can gain more academic support and learning opportunities, enhancing their academic skills and performance levels.
