Birdhouses Through The Seasons Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects using the new Birdhouses Through The Seasons Collection by Vicky Papaioannou. This collection really spoke to me as a nature-lover, so I wanted to use as many of the seasonal sets as I could together. Since the birdhouses are large enough to fill a card front, I was inspired to create three fun cards in different sizes for a variety of occasions. I thought the tall birdhouse from the Build A Fall Birdhouse die set would be perfect for a slimline card, but I’m not quite ready to start my fall…

Video Friday | Watercolor Lighthouse with Kelly
Hello Crafters! It’s Kelly Latevola here and I’m excited to bring you something a little different today. As a colorist I frequently hear my subscribers say that they have a hard time knowing where exactly to add shading to their images. Did you know Spellbinders has these stamps that come with the shading already added? They have a whole line of 3D Shading Stamps. I thought this Light House stamp would be perfect to incorporate a little watercoloring. I stamped in an extremely light dye ink so that I could maintain my lines as I painted. I started by painting the ares not shaded by the stamp. I used Daniel…
