[Video] Happy Birthday Card Using Seaside Paper

Good Morning.

I just uploaded a video of making a birthday card using a retired paper pack which I have a ton of... Seaside B & T paper pack. I had gotten the bulk pack last year and it has been sitting in my collection. I have only used a couple sheets so far. I wanted to use something from my stash. I have so much of this paper that if you are interested in any of it, I will sell it for $1 per sheet plus flat rate shipping, no matter how many sheets you want. Just send me an email.

What I forgot to mention in the video is that I used the Lagoon Ink to ink up the edges of my card pieces.

Products Used:
Seaside Paper Collection (Retired)
Happy Birthday Sentiment (Retired - was the Stamp of the Month April 2015)
1 1/2" Circle Punch
2" Scallop Circle Punch

[Video] Monoprinted or Gelli Printing and Thinking of You CardWood

Good morning everyone!!!! Wake up and smell the coffee now that the clocks have moved an hour ahead and loosing an hour sleep... YAWN!!

What have I been up to??? Playing with gelli printing on my homemade gelli plate and an acrylic cutting mat. I recorded a video of my very first experience in this art form. I have seen so many artists using this form of printing in art journaling. I decided I wanted to give it a try.

After the video is a picture of a card that I made using this technique but with inks instead of paints. The inks and stamp sets are from Close To My Heart.

Here is my homemade gelli plate

After recording this, I decided to try using inks while off camera. Here is a print that I came up with. The inks didn't work as well because they were fast drying. You need slower drying ink like pigment ink. I ended up having to touch up the background and the stamped plants. I added the sentiment afterwards.

Products that I used were the Close To My Heart Inks
