New Video Tutorial - Using Stampin' Write Markers to ink your stamps


One of my favourite ways to use my Stampin' Write Markers is to ink only part of my rubber stamps or to ink the ink in more than one colour.


In this card I've used Old Olive, Not Quite Navy and Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Markers to ink the tools in the Totally Tools set without the words to create a background.

This was one of the cards on offer at my $2 Valentine's Card Making Day.


Here is the video showing how to make the background for this card using Stampin' Write Markers.

Stampin' Up!® Basics Video - Circle Scissors Plus

A lot of the videos showing how to use the Circle Scissors Plus focus on cutting circles from Stampin' Up!® cardstock. Two of my customers, Cathryn & Elsie asked if it would cut photos and heavier weight cardstock. Here's my video showing you that it can.



Excuse the abrupt end to my video. My camera ran out of memory and as everything had gone according to plan up until then I decided it was time to finish. All you missed was me saying I'd also had success cutting circles from DSP backing cardboard and cereal boxes.

Please contact me if you have any questions.  I'm always interested in new ideas for tutorial videos so leave me a comment with any topics you'd like to see me cover in future videos.
