A card-making and papercrafting video blog
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}
Hi All, Today I used my favorite white ink: ColorBox. This ink lays on very white and very thick. I recently used it on a very detailed stamp and the image was crisp and perfect. On this card, I applied the ink directly from the pad to the paper. I colored the butterfly with Inktense Pencils… I used a wet brush and pulled color directly from the pencil itself. You get a really vibrant color using this technique. And, it {Read More}
Hi All! Today I decided to use the same flower stamp set I used on this card. As with the other card, I colored this one with my Derwent Inktense Pencils also. I really like how these pencils blend. I used the Hero Arts Soft Granite Shadow Ink as a background again. It’s such a pretty shade. I created the white border on my panel by using my Spellbinders die as a stencil. Be sure to emboss the panel after {Read More}
Hi All! I love this new flower stamp set from Stampin’ Up! – there are so many possibilities. I see it as my official replacement for Fifth Avenue Floral, an old retired set that I loved. Bonus… it has matching dies! I’ve been hearing a lot of really good things about the Derwent Inktense Pencils. So, I asked my husband to buy me the 36-count set for Christmas. Well, he bought me the 72-count!! Isn’t he awesome? The price point {Read More}
Hi All! I’m calling these mixed media flowers because I colored them with ink, Copics, SU markers, and colored pencils! The card is made up of two Spellbinders die cuts adhered together at the top. I really like the way the orange and red distress inks came out so bright!! And I totally love this Penny Black background stamp with the paisleys – click this link to go to Two Peas in a Bucket, where it is on sale for {Read More}
Hi All! Today I am the guest designer over at Lily Pad Cards!! Here is a sneak peek at the three cards I made: The first one uses colored pencils, the second one uses Copic markers and masking, and the third one is a watercolor multi-fold. To get details on how-to and supplies, visit Lily Pad Cards. And, if you decide to purchase any of the supplies, please kindly use the links in my blog margin to the right. {Read More}
Hi All! I don’t think I have ever used colored pencils in a video before! They are actually quite easy to use. I used PrismaColor pencils, which are very nice, rich pencils. I haven’t tried using ordinary colored pencils from Crayola – I don’t know how they would compare. But really, if you are looking for a more economical alternative to Copic Markers, these wouldn’t be a bad choice. I started using Neenah cardstock on my first try at this. {Read More}
