Tuesday Video: You Are My Home

Hi all! Kristina here.

Yay! So excited for the new Hero Arts stamps in the store! I've also been practicing my Copic marker skills (momma needs some more practice to get the blending super smooth--LOL!) so I was drawn to the Right At Home stamp set because it would give me a chance to color the house. It's also a larger stamped image, so it can hold it's own on a larger card.

For the coloring of the house, I used three of the four Copic markers in the Brunette marker set. Being a Copic beginner, I love these pre-selected sets because you know you'll be able to blend colors. I used E55, E57, E59. Seriously, these blending sets are awesome because it takes the guesswork out of picking colors that blend well together. One of the most daunting things when first using Copics is picking what colors to get.

Anyhow, look at the awesome sets!

Brunette Hair Blending Kit	Blonde Hair Blending Kit	Lighter Skin Tones Kit	Pink Blending Kit	Red Blending Kit	Orange Blending Kit
Yellow Blending Kit	Green Blending Kit	Aqua Blending Kit	Blue Blending Kit	Purple Blending Kit	Brown Blending Kit

I also used a long kraft notecard from Hero Arts. I love these cards! It's no secret I love all things kraft, so these cards and envelopes are right up my alley. And I love that the envelopes open from the short side. Different and trendy at the same time!

Anyhow, enjoy!

Join Us In Wonderland...Won't You?

Mad Hatter's Tea Party by Kelly Lunceford

Happy Thursday, bloggers! I'm very excited to tell you more about a new brand to our store, TJ Designs. Let me tell you a little bit about the designer, Jill Haglund or, as her fans know her, TweetyJill. Jill is passionate about inspiring others and providing ideas for the novice as well as the seasoned crafter through her books and the hundreds of classes she has taught over the years. Her favorite medium is collage — she loves images of nature: birds, flowers, plants and travel photos. Favorite ephemera includes all types of handwritten English and foreign script documents she collected in Europe, pages from out-of-date vintage books, images on transparences, canceled postage stamps and vintage postcards. You will notice these aspects for sure, when you check out the stamp sets!


Alice in Wonderland by Kelly Lunceford

Check out these amazing inspirations by Kelly Lunceford. The detailing and coloring is beautiful! Be sure to check out her blog if you haven't already, HERE.


Alice in Wonderland by Kelly Lunceford

Did you know that the story of Alice in Wonderland was first published in 1865? It's pretty cool to think a story and characters can remain loved and cherished for generations, and the imaginative and creative world of the story can live on in scrapbooks, cards, and art pieces made through these gorgeous stamps!

The very talented "TweetyJill" herself provides some very thorough inspiration through the 3 videos below for the Alice In Wonderland Card Kit! Enjoy!
