Parital Embossing & Water Colors. Way's to use it Wednesdays Ep.3



Welcome to Episode 3. In this series, it's my goal to show you ways to use something you may already own in a different way. Let's stretch our supplies and get the most use out of them that we can. Right?!

Grab ANY background stamp that pleases you. Or you can pull out the Breathtaking Bouquet Cling set. Any detailed background will work here. Choose your favorite embossing powder, I did my card in Gold. 

Great! Got your stamp ready? Click the video right below here to see exactly how I achieved this gorgeous effect with some embossing powder and a paintbrush.

Wasn't that fun? Did you learn something new or have you done this technique before? How about the way I used the watercolor pencils? That is my most FAVORITE way to use them. Probably because I do a lot of watercoloring with pallets and tubes. 
Did you know that you can also use a few layers of clear embossing powder on the "YOU" to make it shiny? Do you know how to depress an item into the Versamark so you can emboss it any color you like? If not I have a video here and here that shows you how to do it.
Anyhow, I thought I would let you know in case you are in a pinch and don't have the products I used. 

QUESTION: Which was the best "Way to use it" today. The Embossing or the Watercolor Pencils?
Happy Stampin'

Blending like a PRO! - Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it! Series - Ep. 2


Here it is week 2 and the second episode of my new series! Time sure flies, when you're having fun. In this series, it's my goal to help get your creative juices flowing. Whether you are BRAND NEW to stamping, intermediate, or an advanced stamper, the series is sure to please everyone. I always throw in my "Inkie Tips" as I go along. You're sure to enjoy the series. 
Each week I choose a card published by Stampin' Up! in any of their current catalogs. I don't really have a specific system, I just choose one that stands out to me. If YOU see one that you want to see featured on my series, leave a comment below and I will do my best to feature it. 

This week I choose the card on Page 3 of the Sale-A-Bration Second Release Catalog. I just love the way blended ink looks over the foiled paper. Isn't it gorgeous?
Of course, a series isn't really a series without a video right? Feel free to watch it and follow along
Today I'm going to show you one card in 2 different colors. You will learn how to blend like a PRO using our water-based classic ink pads.

Did you enjoy the video? Which color combination did you like better?
You know the paper I used is FREE with any $60 purchase as of March 3rd right? How awesome is that?! There are so many other freebies to choose from too. 
You can see all the details on the "Sale-A-Bration" Page. 

I'm always here if you have any questions. Feel free to Email me (Contact form at very bottom of the page) or message me through my Facebook Group (Link Below)

QUESTION: What card do you want to see me feature in an upcoming Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it! video?
