Creating and sharing card ideas. This week I pulled out a new bundle, Thankful Garden, which includes masks to add colour and highlights to the images! These turn out beautifully! check out how easy they are to pull together.

ABC’s of Stampin' Techniques –Paper Piecing This Week!

Today on the Live I continue the series of ABC's of Stampin' Techniques. We're having fun each week pulling out old ideas along with some new ones. Check out my Youtube channel for all the other letters we've unpacked ~ and subscribe to the channel to catch them in the weeks to come!

 I love Paper Piecing as part of my creative repertoire! In this video, I show how to use some of your favourite Designer series Papers to create beautiful images for your cards! 
Like this amazing umbrella that looks like she purchased it from a Museum Gift Shop : D

Clothing is one of my favourite ways with this technique, using a bit from a background paper to pull it forward with their sweater, or raincoat. 

Have you used this technique before...grab some smaller patterned images from your stash and craft along with me!

ABC's of Stampin' Techniques ~ Ocean Themed Interactive Gel Shaker Card 🌊


 Dive into Creativity

Join me as we create a fun, interactive Ocean-themed Gel Shaker Card using the Otterly Amazing stamp bundle! 🦦 This project brings the sea to life with a cool gel-filled window, giving the illusion of real water—perfect for adding a playful touch to your handmade cards.

📌 In this tutorial, you’ll learn how incredibly messy my crafting area is, but how adaptable I am : D  Also:


✔️ How to create a gel shaker element for a realistic water effect
✔️ Stamping & coloring adorable otters from the Otterly Amazing bundle
✔️ Layering ocean-themed elements for a dimensional underwater scene
✔️ Tips for assembling and sealing your gel shaker so it’s mess-free!


If I could edit these Lives, I could save you a few minutes spent searching for my Otters, those playful critters were off playing in some deep recess of a pile, not to be found!! Not to worry, they'll surface!

Laurie
