Earlier this month WOW! Embossing powders released two more sets of stamps that I designed for them I'm so happy to see my ideas come to life and I love seeing crafters using them in creative ways. anyways. The latest sets are called Pick 'n mix and Sparkle & Shine. I made this video talking about them and sharing some projects I made.
I'm up at the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft blog today for a guest post making a small art journal page. If you click here you can find the full post with an instructional video and list of materials used for my project. That small art journal is so darn cute and very fun to work with.
I hope you like it and if you come back tomorrow I'll have another art journal page for you, a big one with lots of psychedelic colors. That's what happens when you listens to '70s rock while crafting ;)
Disclaimer: I received product from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft to create this project, but all opinions are my own.
This is my second post today, keep scrolling if you don't want to miss out on the first :)
Yesterday it was my turn to blog at the WOW! blog and I got to introduce the stamps I designed a bit closer. If you want a chance to win one of the sets you really should go to this post and leave a comment before August 1st. There are some projects and a new card to check out too. I wouldn't miss it if I were you :) I also made this video talking a bit about the sets and you get the pleasure (?) of hearing my voice.
I also wanted to share a card I made for Pretty Crafty Stuff, I used my favourite of the new embossing powders Marion Emberson designed for WOW, the Atlantic Seaspray. So pretty. I covered the whole jewel from Shine with it and it's yummy!
I hope you enjoyed this post and that you pop on over to WOW for a chance to win some new stamps! See you soon again :)
A while back I made a colouring video using the Spectrum Noir Blendable Pencils and I got a lot of wiews on that one. I guess this is something people are interested in seeing as the pencils are sort of new and there aren't as many videos using them out there. I decided to make another video because I do love those pencils and I haven't taken the time to color any images in a while. I colored Circus Trixie from Saturated Canary this time. She is adorable, and she reminds me of my daughter.
the card is nothing fancy, I just used some papers I liked and tried to pick up the circle shape of the ring she is standing in. I hope you like the video. Thanks for stopping by!
Today is the last Tuesday in the month and that means technique tuesday at En liten butik. I made a pretty background for a couple of cards using watercolor papers, Distress Ink, Distress Paint and Embossing Enamel. I made a short video showing the technique.
Here are my two cards using the backgrounds, I think they are really cute!
This first one with that really cute dog again. Love this little guy! 'Sup? :)
I used some Die Cuts from Jillibean Soup for this one, very simple!
That's it for today. Tomorrow I'll be back with two posts. Please check back then :)
Time for a new coloring video. I colored a mermaid from Saturated Canary this time. I'm just loving Saturated Canary at the moment, they are really fun to color. After coloring her up I just cut a couple of wavey forms from post it tape and sponged different colors over it to make this fun ocean background. I hadn't planned to make a card when i printed her out (its a digi stamp) she is kind of big, not a lot of room for decos and the card is a bit larger than standard size.
Today I wanted to share a coloring video I made this weekend. If you have followed my blog you might know I have taken the ECCP Copic coloring classes and got really inspired. I decided to practice my coloring every day, and I have. Well, most days anyway. I'm really enjoying it too. So to make it more fun I thought I would make some videos, just sped up Copic coloring for those of you who are interested in that sort of thing. I usually just color up an image and put it in the pile of colored images (that might come in handy when I'm in a pinch for a quick card), but since I got the setup to record I thought it would be fun to see the progress. And to be honest, I've got this new MacBook Pro and I wanted to play with iMovie. After figuring it out I'm totally happy with it. It was way quicker to edit the video AND to upload it. But I miss the free soundtracks that came with my old program so it's a bit repetetive. I'll try to find some new music online that is free to use but I wanted to share my video ASAP so I hope it's not to annoying.
This is the card I made from the image I colored. The stamp is Saturated Canary. I love their digis. I usually print out 4 on a A4 sheet of paper and cut them apart to color one at a time. I carry all my markers in a camera bag so I'll ust pop a bunch of images in one of the side pockets along with the materail from the ECCP-classes and a color sheet where I can see all my colors at once. I'll take the whole bag up to the living room and color while watching tv with hubbie or between dinner and bed time when the kids are happy occupying themselves. Oh, I should mention that the video is sped up 4 times so it took me about 1 h 10 minutes to color this image.
I hope you like it. I'm curious if you would like more coloring videos or more general cardmaking/scrapbooking videos? I'm not a very organized cardmaker so editing the cardmaking videos takes a bit more time than just editing out the parts where I can't find the right markers in a coloring video. ;)
Well, that's it from me today. If you are wondering where my regular wednesday-post was missing this week it's because I'm stupid. My memory card reader died on me when I was going to import my pictures and I was a bit slow and did not realize I could connect the computer to the camera and just get them that way. I'm blaming school, I'm just finishing up my last engineering assignment and my brain hurts from all the thinking. I might have broken it in a few places.
See you another day I hope, thanks for stopping by!
It’s my time to post on the WOW blog today, hop on over to take a look at this pretty romantic card for this months theme, monocrome. It’s very glittery and pretty! I love the vintage romance embossing powder, very pretty!
So, If you want to see the whole card klick on the picture.
And finally I’m happy to share my first coloring video using the Spectrum Noir blendable pencils. I must say I’m just starting to use the pencils but I very much enjoy coloring with them. It’s pretty fast and gives great results. The video is my way of using them, I have no idea if it’s the “right” way. But it works for me. This is the card I made with the image.
After a lot of fights trying to learn the stupid editing program and getting it to upload the video I finally succeeded. Victory! ;) I WILL learn this and then there will be more videos because I like making videos, I just hate feeling stupid trying to edit it. So, here is a card I made for DESIGN in PAPERS a while ago. I hope you like it. I did speed it up quite a bit since I’m very slow and I don’t think you would like a 30 min video with me moving in sloth speed. Next time I think I will zoom in a bit more and see if I can get better light too.
Thanks for stopping by, if you like the video please give me thumb up and I’ll know I should make more videos. :)
I made this card when I was on a crop, I used a eally beautiful stamp from IndigoBlue and the Blendable Colored Pencils from Spectrum Noir to color it. I think it looks really pretty and I actually won first prize in a challenge with it. I was very happy!
I’m blogging this for DESIGN in PAPERS this week. I’ll be blogging more with these pens soon. I’m just very lazy when it such nice weather and very hot inside. Sitting with my hot laptop in my lap is not what I feel likee doing most days. So when there is a rainy day I’ll be schedualing some more blog posts for you.
But since I had to edit a video for school I took the opportunity to edit one of the videos I’ve shot while making cards lately. I love seing how others work and this is just me making a card from start to finish. I hope you like it!
