Can I tell you how excited I am to show you the sample album for my June 5th class at Scrapbooks Etc.? I didn't think I could fully convey my excitement via typing. Sooo....I did a little video for you.
I hope that you enjoy it!
If you are interested in signing up for this class, I suggest doing so quickly. Space is limited and I'd hate for you to miss out! (You can find Scrapbooks Etc. contact information on my sidebar.)
By the way...the class is only $35.00. I know, it is a steal of a deal for so much fun!
Are you looking for a quick and easy project? Look no further! In my video tutorial, I demonstrate how to make Doodle Cards using text paper, cardstock, machine stitching (optional) and the newest Shimmerz Pearlz.
Here is the doodle flower card that I complete on the video.
I hope that you enjoy my tutorial!
If you are dying to get your hands on those beautiful Pearlz, you can purchase them right here.
Here are pictures of my other cards. I'm telling you...you won't be able to stop at just one!
Happy Creating! Oh, and if you make a card, let me know. I'd love to see it.
I've always loved gardening so it isn't a big surprise that I also love making flowers in my art. I purchased a metal frame from Target a few months ago because I knew that it would be gorgeous with a few flowers.
And it is...
You can see the detail in the following close-up shots.
I've created a video demonstrating how I made the flowers using Petaloo flowers and Shimmerz Spritz and Pearlz.
This technique is incredibly simple, but I'm loving the subtle results.
I hope that you enjoy it!
If you liked this video and you live in the Phoenix, AZ area, don't forget about my Technique Arsenal class on making flowers on May 22nd. It is only $35.00 and I'll show you how to make 10 different flowers (paper and fabric). It will be a fast-paced class, but it is geared toward both beginners as well as more advanced artists. (By the way, I will NOT be teaching you how to do the flowers in the video as part of the 10.)
I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! I am feeling so renewed and replenished that I'm on a creative roll. I can't wait to show you all the fun I've been having!
In this video, I demonstrate an easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy technique using Shimmerz Vibez. This technique is so simple (and fun!) that your 6-year-old could do it with you. And since Shimmerz is an easy clean-up and non-toxic, you won't mind sharing a little with your sweetie. (Maybe...)
Have fun!
Here are some non-moving pictures of my finished projects.
If you've been wondering what the difference is between the new Shimmerz Vibez and Shimmerz Spritz. Wonder no more! This video should clear everything up.
Enjoy!
Here are the finished tags from the video.
To create the tag on the left, I used Shimmerz Spritz in Ruby (pink) and Shimmerz Vibez in Jeni B. Bleu (blue).
To create the card on the right, I used Shimmerz Vibez in RazzleDazzle Berry.
I've been having so much fun playing around with my new Shimmerz Vibez. I made these Splash Hearts for Valentine's day using Vibez, muslin, watercolor paper and cardstock. I'm really pleased with the way they turned out.
I made a two part video if you are interested in making a Splash Heart for your sweetie this Valentine's Day.
I hope that you enjoy it! (I apologize for the doorbell and dogs barking. Oh and the crying baby. Sometimes life happens while I'm trying to be all professional. Darn it.)
As promised, here is my technique video on heat embossing on tissue paper.
You can see how cool the tissue paper looks on my paper cloth. (You will find a video tutorial on how to make paper cloth here.) The tissue paper just disappears and all you see is what I embossed. I love the results!
I also have a little secret...it is called Pearlz...
Shimmerz is having a grand reveal very very soon. You won't want to miss it! I'm working on projects right now...
I'm practically bouncing while I'm typing I'm so excited to tell you that my first technique video is up on the Shimmerz Ed Team blog!
If you have some time, I'd love for you to check it out and leave your comments here on things I did well... Things that perhaps I need to improve...
Tomorrow I'll post my video on how to heat emboss on tissue paper. It is the same as embossing on regular paper, but if you've never done that, perhaps my video will give you some confidence to try it out?
Later this week, I'll post the projects that I did using paper cloth along with a more in depth discussion of my process.
I am very proud of my very first technique video. It is on making really easy felt food. I hope that you enjoy it!
I learned tons by doing this video. For example, I am a bit long-winded (I never suspected such) and I talk a lot with my hands. A lot. There is much to be improved upon...
