Window sheets for a box.

Window sheets are not just for shaker cards.  They can also be used for an entire pouch.  Instead of using cardstock try using a piece of window sheet.  Just make sure to have matching or complementary shreds to go inside.  They can be so cute with the right contents to match.

When Stampin’ Up! Meets Vegas!

Watercolor pencils and aqua painters, oh my.

I’ve had so much fun with the alcohol markers that I don’t know if we have forgotten about other ways to color.  There are blender pens to be used with the ink pads, re-inkers, or watercolor pencils.  There are the regular stampin’ write markers.  And finally, there are the watercolor pencils with the aqua painter. Continue reading “Watercolor pencils and aqua painters, oh my.”

Paper is not just for cards.

How far have you gone to create with paper?  Besides cards, boxes, favors, and the occasional punched out flower…what else have you created? Recently one of my fellow demonstrators was part of a paper fashion show.  She created an entire dress out of paper.
