Stamp with Amy

Spotlighting video

Hello! Today I have a video showing how to make this project that I posted last week that features the stamp set, Elements of Style:

 
 And here is the video:

 So easy, and really adds a "wow" factor to your project! It is especially good for a large line-art stamp that would take a while to color.

Faux Stained Glass Video Tutorial

Hello! I'm finally getting around to posting videos of the projects that my local Stamp Club and my Online Cards & Projects Club ladies are making this month. Better late than never, right? (That's what I'm telling myself anyway.) I posted a photo and details about this card made with the Awash With Flowers stamp set here.

This was my first time trying this technique, and it is so fun! Here is a video on how to make it:

 Love it! If you give it a try, leave me a comment or email me & tell me how it goes. I had one lady email me & say that her first attempt didn't go well at all, but the second try was better. 

Don't forget that the clock is ticking on the Last Chance items! After June 30th, they will retire forever, and we'll have a brand new Idea Book and Catalog. Woo hoo!

2010 Summer Mini Catalog is here!

 
 Happy May Day, everyone! Not only is it starting to feel like summer, now the 2010 Summer Mini Catalog is here! Woo hoo! If you don't have a copy of the mini, you can click the image on the sidebar & download it. If you'd like me to mail a hard copy to you, email your address to me, & I'll get it right out to you.

I am super excited about all of the offerings in this mini, especially the new accessories. I'm loving the Smooch Spritz & the Color Catcher. Until today, we weren't allowed to show you the actual products, just projects using them. So, today I have a video of how to Assemble the Color Catcher. When you use the Smooch Spritz, which is a pearlized accent spray, you'll want to protect your surface, and the Color Catcher works brilliantly. 

Easy, huh? I'll have lots more to show you in coming days, so be sure to check back often!

Have a great weekend,
