Hey Girlfriend, Mixing Inks Is Fun

April 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

While Stampin' Up! is retiring the Stampin' Sponges and Sponge Brayers, there are still options for using and mixing ink types. One of my favourites is using the Classic Stampin' inks to create a soft background, while using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers for some bright contrast. So for today's quick bookmark project featuring the Hey Girlfriend Stamp Set I did just that. HEY GIRLFRIEND I began by cutting a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Whisper White Card for my bookmark base. Then I ... VIEW POST

Summer Days Are Numbered

February 27, 2021 Leave a Comment

In a little over three weeks we'll know for sure what Stampin' Up! products are retiring. For some things though there's no doubt. I've already mentioned all the 2019-2021 In Color products will go as they make way for new 2021-2023 In Colors. Also guaranteed to retire are Host stamp sets in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue.

Try Watercolour Pencils With A Blender Pen

February 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

I love colouring with a variety of materials, and experimenting with new techniques. Take watercolour pencils for instance. Did you know that you can get different looks with watercolour pencils? The most common way I see people use them is to colour, and then 'activate' the pigment with water. You don't have to of course, you can also use them dry just like normal colouring pencils. But have you tried using watercolour pencils with a Blender Pen? I like this method because it smooths the ... VIEW POST

Hey Girlfriend Recommend Me A Book

January 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

Are you a reader? I definitely am, and I'm pleased to say my children and granddaughter inherited my love of books. What I find really nice is that we often recommend books to each other. It's a great way to discover new authors or explore a different genre. So what better accompaniment to a book recommendation than a new bookmark? Today's feminine design uses the Hey Girlfriend Stamp Set. HEY GIRLFRIEND The new Hey Girlfriend Stamp Set really appealed to me with images of three ... VIEW POST
