I’ve been wanting to invest in a Brother Scan N Cut electronic die cutting machine for a long time and finally I took the plunge! I mainly got it to cut out my stamped images but am looking forward to seeing what else it can do. Check out my latest video using it to cut out stamps.
I used the cute new Word Buddies Jungle stamp set and dies along with birthday sentiment dies from Hello Bluebird to create this card. I’ll show you how to selectively ink blend with dies to easy add color in select spots.
I made this cute slimline style Valentine’s Day Card with stamps and dies from Heffy Doodle, additional dies from Stamping Up and Hello Bluebird, colored using chalks and a blender pen. Visit my Youtube channel to check out my card tutorial or watch below.
I used the new Winter Walk Scene die and the Oh, Nuts squirrel stamps from Hello Bluebird for a sweet Valentine’s Day Card. I’ll show to how to piece together this type of die and also how to blend colored pencils with a blending solution.
If you’re looking for a subtle coloring medium I really recommend chalks. Also called pastels they are easy to work with and give a soft look to your stamped and colored images. I used them for this cute Halloween Scene card made with stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird. Visit my Youtube channel to watch this video to learn some tips on working with chalks or check it out down below.

I used only pattern papers (no stamping) along with some dies to create these quick and easy dog and cat cards.

The current challenge over on the Lawn Fawnatics blog is “Anything But a Card”. I created this gift tag for Father’s Day using the Lawn Fawn Gnome Sweet Gnome and Toadally Awesome stamp sets along with their Woodgrain Background die. I’m also using some new additions to my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers, the Vintage Blends set to color my images.
