A card-making and papercrafting video blog
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}
Happy New Year!! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I enjoyed some quality family time with my hubby and girls. No traveling – just relaxing, it was really nice. On today’s card, I used my Stampin’ Up! markers directly onto a stamp. I spritzed it with water to get that watercolor look. Using water with the markers makes it easier because you can take your time coloring the stamp, since you’ll be moistening it with the water afterward. A little {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}
Happy Wednesday! Thank you to everyone who left a comment about my daughter’s frog pottery last week. She stood next to my computer as I read every comment and email to her. She was literally jumping up and down with excitement with every one. It was so cute!! For the butterfly on this card, I used Stampin’ Up! markers with a blender pen. I just got these Spellbinders circles. Believe it or not, my sister had a garage sale and {Read More}
Hi All, I had a VERY hard time coming up with a new card this week. I thought for sure that all my ideas had just run out. So, I decided to try shopping!! I went to a small stamping store about 15 miles from my house. I bought a few stamp sets, but what I was really excited about was these gelatos. I’ve seen other people use them, but I just never got around to trying them. They are {Read More}
Happy Holidays! This week I used the same stamp set I used for my 2011 Christmas card. I used Regal Rose ink – something a little different than your traditional red. I hope you like it! This card is actually version two. I thought it would be fun to post my first version, so scroll down after the video to see version one! FYI – today is the last day for the Online Extravaganza Sale at Stampin’ Up!. Products are {Read More}
Hi All! Do you like the polka dots? I wish I had time to do more – I’m kind of getting bored with the current design. The dots were an easy change, so I figured, why not? For the card this week, I wanted to try out using two different embossing powders on an image. I used both Wild Wasabi and White embossing powders on the butterflies. Kind of a neat look. I totally love the En Francais background stamp {Read More}
