Going Around in Circles card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Going Around in Circles".

I'm still not feeling 100%, but fortunately it's slowly going better. And I had enough good moments that I made a video of this project, but also from the ones I missed. Check them out here, and here.



Last week, Simon Says Stamp released "Cherished", click here to view the entire release. I used the Circulare Lace stencil for my card. I used the stencil as a stamp in combination with a Embossing Dabber. It's funny that the result looks like it's been stamped because only the edges of the stencil are showing. I used white embossing powder with it. I have heated it from the back of the cardstock so that no embossing powder would blow away. Love that it looks so distressed.

 I've  made the background with Peeled Paint, Broken China and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxides. In order to see the embossed part better, I've applied Peeled Paint Distress Oxide and Ink on it and wiped it off with a baby wipe.With my own carved stamps I applied some circles. First with Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and then with different Distress Oxide Ink. What I notice is that after a while, the Peeled Paint changes in a gray color if it isn't oxidized. Wondering if it's on my ink pad or that others have noticed that too.... In the pictures it still looks green because I made the pictures right after, you can see it as the Tacky Glue is still white as it hasn't dried yet ;).

Butterfly card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Little Critters".

Still not feeling well at all, but fortunately I had some energy to make a project AND edit the video this week. Hope you'll like it...

 

I played with my Gelli Plate and did a technique that I've learned last year on a craft event with regular Distress Inks. I don't really see the difference between the two inks. I think I need to experiment more with the Gelli Plate and Distress Oxides.

Paper Artsy The Great Outdoors art journal spread with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "The Great Outdoors". We are also showcasing Paper Arsty products. We would love the see them used in your project if you have them.

It has been ages ago that I've used my art journal. But this theme was perfect to make a new one, because my old one was full. First of all, I made a bit of texture with Texture Paste and Tile stencil. Then I used 4 different colors of Opal Magic paint: Green-Gold, Rose-Gold, Violet-Gold and Blue-Gold. When everything was dry I added some extra texture with cardstock that I've die cutted with one of the Polka Dots Borders.
 

Then I added more color with Paper Artsy Infusions: The Sage, Slime, Sunset Beach, Blackcurrant and A Bit Jaded in combination with Mod Podge that I've mixed with water.
The effect of spraying the infusions with water is magical. I have used a lot of infusions. And had to dab it up a little bit here and there.
