Paper Pumpkin Thank You Cards

Each month I like to thank my Paper Pumpkin Subscribers with a personalized card, and being that it was time to make some cards, I used today's Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it CASE'ed card to make a bunch.

You may be wondering what Paper Pumpkin is. Well, it's an extremely affordable monthly papercraft subscription that comes right to your door! It comes with everything you need to create beautiful handmade cards and sometimes even little gifts. You can learn more about it here.

In this series, it's my goal to teach you how to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) ANY card!

This series is for all levels of stampers and paper crafters. There are so many tips and tricks, everyone enjoys the series!

I always film a video for this series so you can see what I did Step-By-Step.

Baby Wipe Technique with a TWIST?!?

My Inkie Fingers Card Sketch Inspiration
#MIF008

Inking with Baby wipes? What is this you speak of? Looks like fun, maybe I should try it, but with a twist or two? I love thinking of other ways to do things, and this is no exception! So I added in a couple cool techniques for you today! Don't forget to check out the #MIF008 Sketch on my blog today too! You can now easily upload your cards and play along.

ALSO!! I'm scouting for a Design Team for the sketches starting in April so get noticed now or fill out this form to be considered.

Anyhow, back to my card. I had so much fun making this card! I filmed the video live so you could experience what I experienced as ai created it, rather than doing a voice-over. It was so much fun!

You can watch it here:

Wasn't that fun? I have to make more of these types of cards. I just love doing things that are not the 'norm' or usual way of doing things.

QUESTION: W?hich card did you prefer? The blue or the pink?

Let me know in the comments below. I love hearing from you =)

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?
