Stamping Bella Altering Stamp

Hey everyone. Today I used one of the Zodiac stamps from Stamping Bella. This is the Capricorn image but I decided to alter a bit by taking the horns out.  The sentiment is from my sticker stash and I used a die from Gina Marie Designs.

It's NOT a card....WHAT??? DIY Hot Gun Tray

Hey everyone,

So I saw this cute tutorial on YouTube about a DIY Hot Glue holder by ScrapDWorld and thought this is something I could actually use. So I hit the Dollar Tree to pick up some supplies and pulled out some items I had in my stash and Ta-DA here is what I created.

In my project, I used a wood base and then applied Graphic45 papers.  Feel free to stop by my YouTube Channel so see how I changed it up.   https://youtu.be/bMeNdPax-Uk

Sunburst Card Series and Tutorial

Hey everyone.  I created a set of cards using a technique I just call Sunburst.  I made this three different cards and guess what....no stamps!!  I used the same technique but decided to stop the "burst part" at different points.

I recently started to create videos over at my YouTube channel and show some different techniques/crafts that I have been doing over the years. I did make a tutorial on this video and hope you stop by and decide to subscribe.  Video is linked here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B392NKI20uY&t=1s

Some Odd Girls Friends

So one of the great things about digital stamps is the ability to manipulate them. For this card, I decided to take the same image and mirror it to create the two girls you see.  I played around with some different color palettes as well for this one.  I already have Fall in my mind (one of my favorite seasons).
