Today I'm back with a new video tutorial with Therm O Web , featuring Gina K. Designs new Holiday line! I'm in love with everything in this line and I'll be showing you how I used the new Therm O Web Decorative die cuts, Foil-Mates and glitter Fancy Foils! I love everything in this new release and I know you will too! I used beautiful papers from Simple Stories on these ornament tags. I love the more muted, retro color scheme of this paper pack. This one's called Very Merry and I enjoyed working with it so very much. Video Tutorial & Supplies Click below to watch the video tutorial. All details on the steps I followed to make this tags can be found on the video. The complete supply list can be found on the video description on YouTube and also on Therm O Web's blog .

Every year I try to create small gifts for each holiday for my son's teachers and for family friends. I try to come up with different ideas each time. This time I decided to share one of the projects I'll be preparing for the Holidays... A decorated Christmas Gift Box that comes with a coordinating card.  This idea started off with this card. This is -I believe- my first purple Christmas card ever and I find the color combination to be so elegant. I used beautiful papers from Paper Temptress and stunning ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon . I'm also featuring stamps and papers from my new Holiday collection. This stamp set is called Cheery Christmas and you can find it in digital format here. Of course, we have made these images available also as a rubber stamp kit at Unity Stamp Company (which is so detailed). I decided to use the digital version of this stamp set for this card. I sized the Christmas wreath and sentiment to fit the entire front of my ca...

I've always loved seeing snow texture on Christmas projects and so I decided to add it to my own projects this year using The Crafter's Workshop modeling pastes! I have a step by step tutorial on TCW's blog for you so make sure to scroll down and click on the tutorial link. Whenever I take a closer look at textured Christmas cards there's usually a special snow texture paste used... (I actually have one of those.) But I'll show you a way of achieving a very similiar look using supplies you may already have at home in combination with The Crafter's Workshop texture pastes. Tutorial & Supplies: Click here to see how I created this background and how I added all the snow texture to my card. Supplies are listed and linked too over there! I would love it if you could leave me a comment on the tutorial post letting me know what you think about this idea! Are you trying out the technique for your Christmas projects this year? That's all for n...

Digital stamps and papers are still a mystery to many crafters... I too was the kind of crafter that preferred real, rubber or clear, stamps and perfect paper pads that I often didn't use much because they were treated as a collection piece... Well, everything changed when I discovered all the advantages of digital stamping! I've been, since then, creating products to inspire you to make the same beautiful classic cards using technology as a your ultimate craft tool!  New Holiday Traditions Collection Today I, once again, have a new project idea using digital products, but this time I want to share at least a couple of tips on how to make your digital paper prints even prettier, customizing them to fit all your holiday paper crafts! I finally have the pleasure to share with you my new Holiday Traditions Collection available now on Etsy as an instant download! I've prepared these stamps and papers with lots of love and anticipation and I can't wait for you to try o...

Have you ever heard of ink smooshing? It consists on touching the paper with usually watered down inks to create an abstract background... Well, I wanted to try it out with paints and I captured it on camera for you too! So yes, jump this intro and click play if you must or visit my Youtube channel and watch the tutorial there. All products used were sent by The Crafter's Workshop and Grafix. All opinions stated here are my own and based on my personal experience using these products. For this tutorial I'm using heavy body paints from The Crafter's Workshop together with a tool that I had never tried before, an acrylic monoprint plate from Grafix that I think is ideal for this technique. Ink smooshing usually works using a packaging piece of acetate and that makes sense since the ink isn't too heavy for the sheet. But paint is usually heavier, even when watered down and there's a chance an acetate sheet won't work a smoothly as this Duralar Mon...
