Stamping your own DSP with Lovely You

Stamping your own DSP with Lovely you is taken straight from the catalogue. I have used different colours but this gorgeous stamp set and sample appear on page 22. DSP is shortened from Designer Series Paper which are our amazing Specialty Papers, but it is also great to make your own. I have changed the sample a little by going with a different colour palette.

Framing Technique using Forever Greenery

Framing Technique using Forever Greenery is a technique that makes the Papers and Dies the highlight of your card. Or in fact any part of your project that you want to be the focus.

How to Colour with Thumping and Shading

How to Colour with Thumping and Shading is this weeks Facebook Live. Because I love colouring I thought I would explore more of what could be done with Stampin' Write markers. Sadly I felt I had neglected these great tools and wanted to look at some different ways of using them. Of course they are great for standard colouring or using different colours on one stamp, but I wanted to see what else they could do. The technique Thumping is one of them and is where you tap added colours to a ... VIEW POST
