You already know how much I love to play with colors, right? I am thrilled by unique and beautiful pairings – I see them in our Designer Series Papers and the samples in our catalogs. I see beautiful color combinations in catalogs and textiles. Sometimes they happen by chance – as you’ll see in this video. I’m excited to start playing with the 2015-2017 In Colors, too! I have more tips after the video. 🙂…
Yesterday I shared a card that challenged me to use my Hexagon punch. Today, I’m happy to share a video tutorial that walks you step-by-step through the process I used to create that pattern, along with some other tips for using the Hexagon punch. Here’s the card I shared yesterday (you can see my original post here): Some people are really great at creating beautiful collages with hexagons. I struggle. That’s why I created this…
Yesterday I shared a fun card with a camera and a fun sentiment. Today I’m sharing a new video that touches on the pattern selections and shows you how I created this two-layer effect as the sentiment runs seamlessly from the card front to the front of the camera. It’s a simple and fun technique. Before I share the video, here’s a quick look at the card I shared (you can click on the picture…
Today is thrill-packed. Not only am I sharing a new video, but I’m also sharing this week’s Weekly Deals. Woo hoo! Customizing Designer Series Paper. Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper has been super-popular around here lately, huh? I love it, and I haven’t been afraid to share projects I’ve created with it. I love that I can personalize this paper with any color – or combination of colors – to create my very own,…
I could talk about stamps, papers and inks all day. You don’t have all day, so I’ll try to keep it sweet and simple. Today, it’s all about stamps. Because I know there are a lot of new stampers on my blog, I thought I would take a step back to review the types of stamps and some tips for mounting and using each: Wood-mount stamps Clear-mount stamps Photopolymer stamps Back in the day, Stampin’…
Yesterday I shared a cheery card for this week’s Paper Players challenge. While the adorable bird and the bright colors are the star of this show, the birds’ beak peaks out over the perfectly cropped circle. How intriguing! 🙂 Here’s the card I created: And here’s a quick video that shares how I cropped the circle without cutting the bird’s beak: As I mentioned in the video, there are so many possibilities for this fun…
While I was creating my project for Merry Monday this past week, I thought to myself, “this would make a great video to share my process for creating a brilliant background with strips of cardstock”. I was already planning a video – but then you asked for it. That turned up the heat on my video plans, so, here it is…my thoughts, tips and tricks for creating a beautiful striped background: Here are two cards…
Boy, oh, boy! I’ve got quite a unique share for you today. I rarely post pictures or videos on my blog unless they are (in my eyes) perfect – unless I am 100% happy with each and every detail. Today’s a bit different. As I sat down last night to give today’s video one last “proofread” (I filmed and edited it a couple of weeks ago), I was mortified by a huge mistake in the…
I’ve really been digging my Project Life supplies lately – in yesterday’s post, I shared my very own video introduction to Project Life. Today’s post features a brand new card AND a brand new video AND a picture of the scrapbook page from yesterday’s video – please don’t leave before you’ve seen them all! THE CARD It hard to believe that my friends (who are my age) have children who are old enough to graduate…
I filmed a handful of videos this past week and will be rolling them out little-by-little over the next week. I filmed today’s video to introduce you to Project Life and to share the Project Life scrapbook page I created after the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Cruise earlier this month. Here’s my video: I really had a lot of fun making this scrapbook page to commemorate this event. My everyday stampin’ supplies really helped me to…
