A card-making and papercrafting video blog
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, I’ve been trying to come up with a good way to use water with my Inktense Pencils for some time. If you are not familiar with these pencils, they have incredibly vibrant color, sharpen with ease, and also function as a watercolor pencil. I’ve really just used them direct to paper so far because the colors are so vibrant and beautiful. Every time I used them as a watercolor, the color would fade and I found it hard {Read More}
Hi All, I’m doing a little diversion today. Instead of a card, I decided to do a little tutorial on how to make paper flowers. I got this kit from Stampin’ Up! and was able to make some cool flowers, so I thought I would share. I actually learned this technique about a year ago – the flowers come out very stiff and permanent by using water. Ever since then, I’ve had dreams of doing an entire garland of flowers {Read More}
Hi All!! I’ve been wanting to do this tutorial for awhile. I must say it’s a little nerve-wracking talking for so long, especially while I am on camera! In the first part of the tutorial, I go over the basics – what Copics are, the numbering system, ink/paper, storage, and how I select colors. In the second part, I go over how to color the above cupcake, including where my light comes from and how to create the shadows on {Read More}
Happy Friday All!! Goodness – three posts in one week. I think that’s my record, lol! People frequently ask me how I apply inks to white paper using an ink applicator. Most people want to know how to avoid those rectangular marks! I realize it’s kind of hard to see when I’m going so fast in my card videos. So… I created this video tutorial with little tips on how to get the best coverage. Hope this helps! Have a {Read More}
Hi All! First, I want to let you know that I officially turned off my previous subscription program (because of this problem), so if you did not receive an email for this post, you’ll need to re-subscribe in the right margin. This week I decided to use the marker/watercolor paper technique I used awhile back in THIS CARD. It’s a way to use Stampin’ Up! markers like Copic markers. The only thing is that you must use watercolor paper. I’m {Read More}
Hi All, Now that we can put last week’s drama behind us, let’s get busy!! Although it looks like I colored these flowers with Copic markers, I actually just used Stampin’ Up! markers (Riding Hood Red, Perfect Plum, and Old Olive), a blender pen, and a white colored pencil. That’s it! However, there is one trick that makes it work… you must use watercolor paper. Watercolor paper is very textured and thick. It’s 140 lb paper, as compared to the {Read More}
