VIDEO: Watercolor Place Cards

Happy Saturday everyone!

I have another Instagram video request for you today.

Bonus? This one features another fun and easy technique that can be applied to many different projects - a watercolor wash background with heat embossing. In the video below, I share how to use our Gift Card Layers die to turn these into gorgeous place card settings.

VIDEO: Pure Color + Copics

Hello! I've got another video request via Instagram for you!

Today's card features our previously released Heartfelt Holiday stamps and dies. Like I mention in the video, this is still one of my very favorite stamp sets.

I'll be showing you how to add a little dimension to your solid stamped images by using your Copic markers to create shading. It's a quick and easy way to make an image pop and bonus - you don't have to color the whole image! Watch the video below to see how it's done.

I am really enjoying re-visiting some of our older stamp sets. It's something that I always intend to do, but never seem to have the time to do. Scheduling them in and not allowing myself to be distracted by shiny new things seems to be helping. So much easier said than done!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
