VIDEO: Watercoloring Complex Images + Crafty Destash Boxes


Hey peeps! I have an easy way for you to break down complex scenic stamps you want to paint today in a quick, no voiceover video. Just watch the upper right of the screen for tips on painting this gorgeous desert scene

I hear a lot from people about where to start on very detailed scenic stamps, so this was a great opportunity to share some tips on making it easy.




But first - I have more HUGE crafty de-stash boxes to offer. I'd estimate each medium flat rate box has $750-$1000 worth of stamps and dies in them. If paying by Venmo, the prices are below. If Paypal, you will need to cover the fees.

I have several that are mostly dies and those are a bit more:
  1. Stamps/stamp and die combos $160 
  2. Extremely die heavy boxes that are almost exclusively standalone dies $200 (these are easily $1K + of dies)

These include shipping. But if you'd like to partake, please sign up here - it will be first come, first served, so do not send payment until I notify you that you've claimed a box!

Second - there's a Christmas in July sale happening here - 20% off, no coupon needed.

Finally - everyone is asking me how to help people affected in the flooding - so I wanted to give you a trusted list. You can find that here

So without further ado, here is the video!



Loveyameanitbye.

Long Time No See - Upcoming Highland Cow Video

Hi friends! Sorry I've been away. Life happens, as you know. Hopefully you are following me on YouTube - I've been staying active there but haven't had time to do both, but I'm back!

I have a little furry Highland Cow for you today, with the video of this card coming on Tuesday at 9 AM so don't miss it. I'll have another video for you this weekend as well.

For the background I used this barbed wire embossing folder and some Tea Dye Oxide with direct to paper to highlight the wire. 

Then I painted each piece of the little Highland Cow with Daniel Smith watercolor and glued it together before putting it on the card. You'll see the full watercolor process on Tuesday.



Hope you've been doing well. Loveyameanit.

VIDEO & Pattern + Giveaway - DIY Frame

I'm back with the video and the pattern!! Be sure and click through to YouTube and leave a comment to be entered to win. A few notes:

  • This is the easiest 3D project I've ever tried and it was perfect the first time.
  • Liquid glue is a necessity - strong tape would be a disaster. 
  • Hold the frame once one side is completed to let the glue grab.
  • If you are impatient, like me, you can add glue if you didn't do the previous step. 
  • Please visit the original creator of this idea through the on-screen link I provide in my video - her channel and Instagram account are an absolute DELIGHT. 
  • Here's where you can grab the PDF with measurements and instructions after you want the video.
  • Here are the dog stamps, the sentiment and the matte, suede feel heavy black cardstock I used.
  • Highly recommend a glue press for this.
