Stamping with Oxide Inks & Gold Watercolor Accents

Hi, all! I’m back today sharing a couple of cards that I filmed a few weeks ago. I had the idea to stamp using Distress Oxide Inks on solid cardstock and then add gold accents with gold watercolor.

I used the Birthday Balloon stamp set on the first card, and the Thanks and Leaves stamp set on the second card. Enjoy!

LIVE REPLAY – Jennifer McGuire teaching me how to use hot foil plates!

Hi all! Today I hopped on live at YouTube and tried out hit foiling—with a bit of extra help. :) My friend Jennifer McGuire stopped by to teach me how to use the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System. She’s been foiling everything she can touch for quite some time, so she was perfect mentor for my first try. Check out the replay!

How to do Watercolor Resist with FineTec Paints + Memory Box STAMPtember Collab

Hi, all! Today I have a card made using the Memory Box STAMPtember collaboration stamp set, True Friend! I loved the large outline floral image and thought it would be fun to try a heat emboss resist with FineTec pearlescent paints! It turned out even better than I imagined.

REMEMBER! Collaboration stamp sets for STAMPtember sell out quickly and will NOT be restocked. If you love the True Friend stamp set from Memory Box, now is the time to snatch it up! :)

It's been a while since I created a mail art envelope, and this one looks complex but it was so easy because of the patterned paper. Yes, that's patterned paper from @craftconsortiumltd. I didn't have to break out any alcohol inks for this envelope. I think I've bought all of the Ink Drops paper pads--all of the papers are gorgeous! Plus, these colors just screamed TIM HOLTZ!! So I had to make an envelope for my friend @tim_holtz. 🙂⁠
⁠
The shimmery paint on Tim's name is from @iuilewatercolors. The color matched the papers perfectly.⁠
