Gab about Lawnfawnatics - Wonderful Winter

Color, Christmas, Coloring, Cards, Paper crafting, Lawn FawnGabriela Sims2 Comments

Hi everyone! Anyone who reads my blog knows I’m a longtime Lawn Fawn fan. I finally decided to try one of the challenges. This time it’s Wonderful Winter, so I used the Winter Skies set, my Copic Ciaos, and some tips from Sandy Allnock in this amazing video.  I might try this again with a pastel winter sky or maybe a fall sky/background.  Take a look at Sandy’s channel for a ton of coloring tips for Copics, Watercolor, and Colored Pencils.

Stamp Perfect Positioning Tool Review

Reviews, Tutorial, Color, How to, Diy, Supplies, Stamping, Paper crafting, Crafts, Tools, Hampton ArtGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, I am super excited to share this review of the Hampton Art Stamp Perfect Stamp Positioning Tool. I have been wanting a stamp positioning tool, but could not justify the cost of the Misti; We R Memory Keepers makes the Precision Press, but it sold out on HSN the day it launched and I have not seen it for sale anywhere else.  Finally, I found this tool and decided to order it and give it a try and I absolutely love it! It's a nice size, it feels sturdy, and I like the color.  Check out the video below for a review and demonstration.

I will be doing much more with this tool because it makes stamping images so much easier!  It's great for making multiples of images and even for stamping different images at once.  I hope you can find this and you get a chance to up your stamping game.  Until next time, happy crafting.

 

Xyron and Quick Quotes, Destash Those Scraps

Cards, Xyron, How to, Tutorial, Paper crafting, Crafts, Diy, ToolsGabriela SimsComment

Hi everyone, Gabriela here today with a video that will help you destash your scraps. I have so many nice scraps from several Quick Quotes Collections that I hate to waste them, so here is a fun way to combine your scraps with a paper trimmer and die cutting to get a brand new look of patterned background paper.



I did a video for this technique because I thought that would be easier to follow than pictures. If you use this technique, you can make about a dozen cards in an hour. This technique would also work on a scrap page as a cool background accent, check out the video below.



I hope the video was easy to follow and that you have a great new way to use your scraps and make them brand new again. Thanks for stopping by.
