A card-making and papercrafting video blog
Hi All! I decided to use the Secret Garden set again today. I really do love all the flowers in this set! Someone recently asked me how I come up with my card designs. The first thing I do is decide which stamp set to use, then I decide on the technique or style. To decide the technique or style, many times I will search the stamp set on Google images. That’s what I did before creating this card. I {Read More}
Hi All! Let me start by saying… I’m sorry. Here I am writing up my post about this card video, talking about how happy I am that this Up Up & Away stamp set has been carried over into next year. So, then I start working on my supplies list. Where is the stamp set? My link wasn’t working anymore. Why? Because it’s retired!!! Ugh. How frustrating. I really try hard to use stamp sets that are not retired. All {Read More}
Hi All, Isn’t this little guy so cute? It’s a beaver, right? Sometimes I get confused, kind of like singing the wrong words to a song. It’s another stamp from the Birthday Buddies set – the fish on this card is from the same set. I used my Inktense Pencils to watercolor him. I think I’ve decided that I prefer my Aqua Painter to a paintbrush, at least when it comes to detailed images. I was making a lot of {Read More}
Happy Friday!! Wow, I can’t believe we are already on week 4! Where has May gone?? The kids are getting out of school and there goes my card-making time! For my collaboration with Jill Foster today, we are using Penny Black’s Every Happiness. There are so many stamps in this set that I had a hard time choosing. Here’s my card for this week: And a little close-up on the embossed and colored flowers: I decided to keep it pretty {Read More}
Hi All! Surprise – a mid-week video! Today I want to share with you a very totally cool trick for getting your Stampin’ Up! clear mount stamps to actually STICK to the acrylic blocks. Veronica, one my blog readers, passed this tip along to me. I tried it out and it works! Amazing. It’s so simple too – Tombow Mono Multi-Glue. Watch the video to see: Be back tomorrow! Note: If you are reading this post in an email, you’ll {Read More}
Hi All! Today I used several different Stampin’ Up! sets, but mainly Fabulous Florets and Pleasant Poppies. The last time I used Pleasant Poppies was on this card as a focal point. It also makes a great background (in fact I think Stampin’ Up! calls it a background stamp). I’ve used Fabulous Florets on this card, this card, and this card. I explain in the video why I love this stamp set. I used one Inktense Pencil and some water {Read More}
Happy Friday!! Back yet again for another collaboration with Jill Foster! This week we are both using the Penny Black Verdant stamp. Here’s my card for this week: I used the Penny Black Paisley Outline Stamp with the same colors I used on this card. I also used it on this card, one of my favorites. I like it because the pattern is so small that it’s not distracting at all. But anyway, I’m supposed to be focusing on Verdant! {Read More}
