Video Friday | Inking White Die Cuts Ocean Scene Card with Nichol

These Sea Animals and Sea Life Accents are the perfect focal point for the matching inked and stenciled underwater background! The background of the card was created by die cutting a Scored & Pierced Rectangle Die from Bristol Smooth Cardstock. Color was added to the rectangle with Shaded Lilac, Blueprint Sketch, and Black Soot…

Exclusive Indie Collection Inspiration | Layered Foliage with Keeway
Hello again! This is Keeway Tsao and Iβm back again to share one last project featuring the Exclusive Indie Line. Sometimes I get a little too carried away with my projects, so I decided to go with a clean and simple card today. I started by die cutting the leaves from the Layered Foliage dies out of various green card stock. I lacked a middle color, so I used Peeled Paint distress oxide ink blending to help me out. I adhered these layers together and set them aside. Next, I reached for the Happy Expressions stamp and die set. I die cut the word βhappyβ out of white card stock…

Video Friday | Create a Stencil using Die Cuts with Kelly Latevola
Hello Crafters! Today we are trying something a little different with our die cuts. The Lovely Lilac die comes with two dies an outline layer and an intricate flower. I used some left over packaging and the outline die to create my own stencil. I found that placing a piece of cardstock under the die in addition to the plastic packaging gave me the best cut. I used repositionable adhesive on the back of my stencil to hold it in place while I added some color with my distress inks. Once I was done I removed the stencil and started in with my copic markers. I added a drop shadow…
