Video: Helicopter Seed Spinner Card

 

As soon as I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to create a spinner card with the helicpopter seed!
The 2nd thing I did was google ‘helipcopter seeds’  LOL
What colors do they come in? What trees produce them?
Maple Trees have a lot of these winged pods that twirl down to the ground.
They come in lots of colors:

This seed was my inspiration, I love the fresh green and pink color combo!


Wind it Up, close the card and when they open it up, it spins!
Watch my video to see it in action…

Video: Watercolor Stamping


Hi all!   It’s bear cub season here in our woods
of NC!  Yes, we are careful and steer clear of mama bears but catching a glimpse of a cub from afar s always a delight.  Just a few days ago a BIG mama bear and her 2 cubs walked through the neighborhood.
It’s also getting close to Father’s Day and I have a few guy birthdays coming up in June so it seemed a good time to ink up my Stampin’ Up stamp set, Wildlife Wonder!

It’s a beautifully sketched stamp set.  I think I mistakenly called the wolf a coyote in my video:)  but I particularly love the bear!
In my video this week, I’m showing how to stamp then add water for a watercolor look!  I also show how to ink and add water to your stamp before stamping on the paper – gives it a blurred, soft look
Oh! I also used the new Deckled Rectangle dies…those are pretty cool.
