MASCULINE MONDAY - WETLANDS

Another in my Masculine Monday series of You Tube tutorials this week saw me using the Wetlands stamp set.  I do love this set - and it goes so well with the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper.  I showed an example of a card and then showed how you could do the same card but just changing the papers and the stamps.

 Here's the same basic sketch for a card - just changed up a bit by the different use of papers and main image.

STAMPIN UP GIFT CARD BAG - DESIGNER SERIES PAPER - YOU TUBE TUTORIAL

Here's a quick little gift bag you can make with any of our gorgeous Designer Series Papers.  It would be great for gift cards or vouchers.  I have shown two sizes here but you can make them any size you lik.  The larger size was made by drawing a circle around a CD - the smaller one was made with the largest of our Stitched Framelits.

 I used some of our Designer Series Stack papers for the smaller ones and Blooms and Bliss DSP for the larger.

There isn't actually any stamping with this little project.  The flowers were cut out using Botanical Builder Framelits.

 
 

AVANT-GARDEN BOXES YOU TUBE TUTORIAL

I've been playing with using the Avant-Garden stamp set on some boxes - originally Sam Hammond's boxes from way back.  I've given them a bit of a revamp with some up-dated products.

 A normal piece of A4 cardstock gives you enough for a box and an extra card.

CHRISTMAS MAGIC - VIDEO TUTORIAL

I've done a purely stamping only video for this week's tutorial.  Not a die or framelit in sight.  I'd read the comment where someone had mentioned there was less stamping being done and more Big Shot cutting out so I thought I would go back to basics.

I've used the Christmas Magic set and, in particular the Train again.  I think its a great one for colouring and as mentioned before reminds me of Polar Express.

The Cherry Cobbler card base was actually 5 3/4" x 4 1/4" (15cm x 10.5 xm)

The DSP was cut at 5 1/2" x 3 6/8" (14cm x 9.5 cm)

The Whisper White was 5 1/4" x 3 1/2" (13.2 cm x 9 cm)

You'll find all the supplies I used below.  All products can of course be purchased from my store.
