Video Tutorial: How to Create a Pacific North-West scene with your stamps

 

Hello friends!

Yes, its yet another scene building card from me today.... but this one I had to do for sentimental reasons.  The card was inspired by some wonderful times I spent in the Pacific North-West region - which for those that don't know is the top left hand corner of the US and lower left hand corner of Canada. Think Washington I've been to this region on 3 different occasions, and every time I have been completely blown away by how beautiful it is. 

Im pretty happy with the result.... do you think I achieved my aim? Does it look Pacific Northwest to you??

If you would like to see how I made it - and maybe make one for yourself - then watch the tutorial in the video below:

Video Tutorial: Creating a Hawaiian Scene with the Waves of Inspiration stamp set

Hello friends!

Tonight on my Sunday Night live video session I made two new cards... including the one you see above. I LOVE how this card turned out!  Such a fun card to create... and it so reminded me of my time in Hawaii with Stampin'Up a few years ago.  We drove around the Island of Oahu, and up to the "North Shore" where we watched surfers, said hello to turtles and ate shave Ice to stay cool. Such good memories... and with this card they all came floating back! 

If you would like to see me create the card (and maybe have a go at creating it yourself!) then I have included the video link below.  

Enjoy!

Video Tutorial - Scene Building with the Grassy Grove stamp set

 

Hello friends!

Today I have been working on these lovely cards - going back to one of my favourite techniques!  I never know quite what to call it... so I have gone with "Scene-building" but its also a watercolour technique.  What do you think? Should I have a different name for this technique?

I made a video to show exactly how to recreate these cards, and you will find this video link below. If you have questions or comments, I'd love to hear them! 

Have a great day!

Video Tutorial: How to use the Tulips Dies

 

So I only just received these dies in my latest order.... and I am loving them!  I've already made several very cool cards with them... I just love the 3D look!  

In my most recent Facebook Live I made the card on the left (above) and I showed not only how the dies go together, but how great it looks if you give the dies a bit of extra love in the form of a little sponging around the base of the tulips.  I love how it turned out! Here I used Calypso Coral ink sponged on to Mango Melody cardstock tulips. 

If you would like to see how I made them live last Sunday night, then click the video link below.  If you would like to skip over the "chit chat" at the beginning of the video, then skip to around the 9:20 mark. 

Enjoy!
