A card-making and papercrafting video blog
Hi All! I have a few stamps from There She Goes. The quality is really good and the images are great. I especially love the sentiments that come with them – very unique. I have another set with some really funny sentiments… I’ll have to try and use it soon! I mention in the video that their sentiment stamps are teeny tiny letters. Yet, they still stamp very clear. Heck, I even heat embossed this sentiment and you can still {Read More}
Hi All! Valentine’s Day just sort of crept up didn’t it?! I just purchased this Hero Arts Everything Flowers background stamp, so I thought I would use that for a Valentine’s Day card. To my surprise, I sold pretty much all my heart-related stamps in my big sale over the summer, so I’m having to be creative with non-heart stamps! I also just ordered the Hero Arts Soft Granite Shadow Ink, which I used for the background on this card. {Read More}
Hi All! Hope you are enjoying your holiday season and not stressing too much! It always amazes me how stressful the holidays can get. Believe it or not, I am STILL working on my Christmas cards. I seriously need to get those done today. I love how this card turned out – it just seems cozy, with the knit background and the coffee. I think I also love it because I love coffee and I haven’t been able to have {Read More}
Happy Weekend All! This weekend I am doing a two-part post for Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft. My focus is how to use Gelatos in a card background. The card for today uses the blue and green metallic Gelatos. Aren’t they beautiful? And they are really easy to work with because they go on so smooth and creamy. I also did a little something different for my card base, so be sure to check out the video for details. Head on {Read More}
Hi All! One of my blog readers, Karen, sent me a photo of a card she created with this technique. I thought it was just so cool! Thank you Karen for sharing your card with me. This card is not bulky at all, and it’s pretty easy to make. The stamped part is just one piece of paper that I cut into three parts. The black cardstock is cut into the following measurements: – 4.25″ x 5.5″ – 3″ x {Read More}
Hi All! I used a technique on this card called “direct to paper”, where you take your ink pad and apply it directly to the paper. Kind of a messy look, but it’s great because that means it’s easy to do!! I used three different Stampin’ Up! blue inks (see names in the Supplies list below), as well as Stampin’ Up! paper. SU paper is definitely best in this case because you want the paper to absorb as much ink {Read More}
Hi All! So glad to be back with you! I had a great vacation. This week is pretty much all watercolor. I used a stamp I picked up at the Scrapbook Convention here in Dallas a few months ago. I picked a part of the background to highlight (the butterfly), which you could do with a lot of background stamps out there. I find that watercolor works best when you heat emboss the outlines. So, the background is embossed in {Read More}
