Today Ginger wants to show you how she made a mini pennant chain. This serves as a small decoration. First she picks out the cutting templates she uses. In this case for example the pennant from the "Trio Collage Die Set" and letters. Then first of all everything is punched out. She punched out the letters twice to make them stand out a little. To make sure that the holes are evenly sized, take all pennants together and fix them as shown in the photo. So they can not slip. Now 2 holes are punched just at the upper edge....

Happy Tuesday everyone! It's Rosie here today sharing a tutorial on how I created an Afro hairstyle for Teen Swissie on the card I made during release week. I use Copic Markers for my main coloring medium. STEP 1: I stamped my image onto Xpress-It Blending Card using C.C. Designs Black Olive Ink Pad, and colored his skin using E11, E13, E15, E37, E18. Next, I used Copic Black 100 to create the base squiggly lines. This helps to hide the stamped hair line. At the top of the pic you can see how I scribbled the marker to create...

Hello! It's MEG here today with a tutorial (really, tips - just some things you may not have considered before) on creating your own design paper using stamps. For this project, I've used the new Bee Swissie clear stamps. Our little Swissie comes with some accompaniment stamps, which is what brings the magic to this design. I've also used the new Rectangles dies and Scalloped Rectangles dies (great for layering). In my project, there is only 1 piece of actual design paper (the blue dotty paper). But it looks like there are several, yes? Here's what I did. First, I...

Hello! Today I show how I made the background for this map. I have chosen the grass and clouds stencil and warm colors. Even if I fix it with magnets, I still hold it with my fingers for a while. Then I go with the brush on one of the stamp pads and then with circular movements and without pressure I wipe over the stencil on the paper. As I clean the brush at the end I take one for both colours and change back and forth. The stencil is not long enough, but you can easily put it back...

Happy Tuesday everyone! It's DT Rosie here today to share the details on how I created the watercolor rain background for this Umbrella Swissie card that I showcased a couple of weeks ago. I remember a few years ago there were a ton of crayon melting tutorials going around creating "rain" around a silhouette of a person holding an umbrella. I knew I wanted to recreate something like that when I saw this umbrella image. A lot of my craft stuff is still in boxes from moving, and I haven't yet located my stash of crayons or my heat gun....
