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...

Today I want to show you, who you can create depth with little flowers made with the amazing flower dies. First you have to punch out many, many little flowers. Then we need dotting tools in different sizes. I'm using some which are normally used for fondant, and a relatively soft pad (cork or foam). I'm placing the flower in front of my, reverse side up, and move the dotting tool along the edge, so they are bending upwards slowly. You need some patience and diligence for this. When I'm satisfied with the result, I'm turning it and press it...

Hello! Today I want you to show a little tutorial, how easy and first and foremost fast you can create your own stencils with the cutting dies you already have at home. For this I used the new "Cloud and Gras Die" and a foil. I like to use foils, because you can reuse them and you see exactly, where you have to lay them. If the foil is big enough, you can make two different sides at once. I've used the clouds and the grass border. Don't dump the the leftover part, you can use them as well! It...
