Whimsical Flowers Bookmarks!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got an easy and fun project for you today! We will be creating some pretty bookmarks using the brand new Ai Whimsical Flowers Set (5797). This pretty little floral stamp set will coordinate with all of your watercolor journal dies and stamps.

This card was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge called “Feeling Blue”. For this challenge you can create any project that feature blues…any blue color will do! Please join us in this fun challenge by submitting your project….we would love to see what you create!

Let’s begin by die cutting our bookmarks onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth 100lb Cardstock using the Ai Journal Cover & Bookmark Die Set (5723). This set has several dies that can be used to create your journal pages and some fun borders. It also includes two bookmark dies that we will be using today!

We can stamp a nice selection of flowers onto the bottom of each bookmark using the Versafine Onyx Black ink and then begin our coloring.

The coloring will be done using the beautiful Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencil Sets. These pencils are so easy to use and the colors coordinate with all of the other Tim Holtz products that you may already have in your stash….the ink pads, sprays, paints, etc.

I’ll give you a few different ideas for how to use these pencils to get a variety of looks!

Next let’s add some color around the edges of each bookmark using the Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean. We can also spatter the bookmarks for a bit more interest.

Now we can add some stitching around the edges using a permanent black pen.

Finally let’s tie on some baker’s twine in the coordinating colors. These would be a great gift for your favorite reader along with a good book!

Art Impressions/SSS Exclusive – Fab-yule-ous Friends

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’m really thrilled to be showing you a brand new stamp set from Art Impressions in conjunction with Simon Says Stamp! This EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION stamp set is called “Fab-yule-ous Friends” and includes three of the most adorable ladies all decked out for the holidays and loads of great coordinating sentiments! This set will only be available for a limited time…so if you love it don’t hesitate…get yours today!

As soon as I saw the sentiment that says “Dear Santa, I can explain”, I knew I just had to create a fun postcard to Santa…so she can send a little note to Santa…to explain of course!

We will be stamping and coloring on some Tim Holtz Kraft Heavystock. To begin, let’s stamp the postcard sentiment at the top and then we can draw in some lines to complete the postcard look. Let’s also stamp some musical notes from that same stamp set. Now we can stamp the sentiment in a pretty Red Geranium color.

Next, let’s stamp our focal image and for the coloring we will be using the brand new Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils. These pencils are so simple and easy to use…and when we color on the kraft cardstock we will get a more muted look which will work perfectly for our vintage postcard. I’ll give you a few tips and tricks for using these pencils in a unique and different way!

Now we can mount the postcard onto some red and white striped paper from the Tim Holtz – Worn Wallpaper Scraps and we will also be using some ephemera from the Tim Holtz – Christmas Ephemera pack.

Finally, we can add some Distress Oxide Ink in Walnut Stain around the edges for a more vintage look. And for a bit of sparkle, we can add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen to some of the images!
