Hi Bloggers! Today I have a special treat from you from Kim Hughes, designer & guru from all that you love from Paper Smooches stamps! Let's read a bit about Kim from her in her own words:
My name is Kim Hughes, owner and Illustrator for Paper Smooches. I live in Goodyear, AZ with my blended family of seven. I have been an artist my whole life but I was introduced to the scrapbooking world about 15 years ago.
I truly love every aspect of paper crafting and feel honored to be a part of such a wonderful industry. Our stamps are hand drawn by a stamper, for stampers. I hope that you like our whimsical and fun images and sentiments. It's a joy to share my art with you.
My project consists of a few tips and techniques. I hope that my video encourages you to look at your stamps in a whole new way.
Now be sure to watch Kim's video so you can get the step by step of how she created the card!
