Lili of the Valley Blog Hop -- New Stamps & Coloring Video!

Hello Everyone.

I just adore these new Acrylic Stamps by Lili of the Valley. These little fairies are the sweetest. I just had to make a little scene with them. I covered the box in Lili of the Valley's One Birdie Lane Designer paper. Then I added some molding paste, and Lindy's Stamp Spray's. I really LOVE the way this project came out.

Here's the list for the blog hop. If you want a chance to win some goodies leave a comment and

 Lili of the Valley will choose a random winner from one of our blogs.

More Simple Christmas Cards!

Hi everyone!

I have another clean and simple card to share with you. I'm whipping these babies out.. I might actually send out Christmas Cards this year! I have used my Fun Stampers Journey star stamp that came in my starter kit. It's called Banner Party Stamp Set and has some fabulous matching dies to go with it! I didn't get a chance to order Christmas stamps so I'm showing simple and versatility. This can really be a card for ANY occasion. I hope you enjoy my little video. :) It's just under 2 minutes!

Mine turned out pretty good if I say so myself, despite the fact that I had to work.

 

Everyone is so busy this time of year so I wanted to share how you can make some simple yet gorgeous Christmas Cards to send out to friends and family. I have done a few very simple cards and video tutorials so come back for some more inspiration over the next week.

 

I hope you enjoy this little short video tutorial using my Fun Stampers Journey Stamps!

Here's my card I chose to use this cutie, "Afternoon Stroll". I also have a video on coloring this image and creating a scene. I created clouds by coloring negative space. I normally create grass all around the image but this time I decided to make grass only behind her as if she was walking along a path.. taking an 'Afternoon Stroll'.

The papers I used are Lili of the Valley's Up, Up and Away paper pad.

 

Here's the video. Sorry for the bad lighting. It was cloudy when I was recording.

I hope you enjoy the video and the hop!

Have a wonderful day!

New Challenge at Frosted Designs PLUS a New Video!

Hey there everyone.

Today I have a mixed media layout to share.

I have used lots of different textures. I just love textures and splatters.. I've been a little obsessed with them lately! :o)

This week over at Frosted Designs Challenge Blog we have a new challenge and the theme is Stamping. Go figure, I'd pick THAT as my topic, as I am hosting this challenge. I have used the GORGEOUS stamp from Prima Marketing. Jamie Dougherty's Bloom Girl Stamps are simply amazing and you have so much room for experimenting with Copics! I LOVE IT!

I have used the Frosted Designs August Kit, 'Summer's End'. I've also used Gelatos and molding paste. I just love all of the layers using all of these different mediums. Here's a little video on putting my creation together. Enjoy!

More Lili of the Valley.. more youtube videos!!!!

Hey there all you crafty peeps!

 

Today I have a  mixed media card to share. I have used papers from Lili of the Valley. They are called 'Festive Trimmings'! I just love the colors. The image is from the newly released stamps, this one is 'Cold Hands, Warm Hearts' It's such a sweet image I'm a sucker for the snow peeps!

 

I have 2 new YouTube Videos up.. Woo Hoo! Go me!!!

 

The new Copic video is of me coloring the image in this card. I wanted to show everyone how I get that little bit of extra depth when coloring. Believe it or not.. all I do is add 1 extra color..  in this video, 'N5'. It makes a HUGE difference when coloring!

 

 

The other Video is also of this card and how I put it together and gave a little 'mixed media' feel to it.

I hope you enjoy the videos. Have a wonderful day!

 

 



See me in Action -- Coloring Lili of the Valley's Little Mermaid!

Hello there my blogging buddies!

 

Today I have a special treat for you. I have made this super adorable canvas,

 I used my LOTV Little Mermaid 1. I colored with my Copics . I'm sure loving the whole mixed media stuff. It sure is fun!

 

This is also my project for Frosted Designs, our challenge is Stamps, Masks and Paperclips. I have used some goodies from last months kit, Enchanted. I hope you will be able to play along with us.

 

Now, for some really exciting news.

I've decided to tackle the whole you tube experience! I plan on doing a video a week. I will do some videos where I'll  be talking and doing step by step instructions. Others will be full start to finish coloring in a speed video, who has time to watch me color for an hour and a half!

Anyways, my first video I'm coloring this adorable mermaid from start to finish. :)

 

Hope you will take the time to see me in action!
