**VIDEO** Gesso + Stamping

August 4, 2014

20140804_110115 Happy Monday! Hope you all had an awesome weekend. It has been way to crazy for me as we are in the middle of selling our home and getting ready to move. I will share couple of videos in the course of this week and next week, but please bare with me as I may be a bit quiet (as I have been for the past couple weeks) on my blog. Once I get settled into my new studio, I will be back to my normal schedule and share more videos with you! Are you following me on Facebook and Instagram? If you don’t make sure you do – I am going to do some small giveaways throughout this month as I say goodbye to some of my crafting goodies. Going through products that I haven’t used for a while and finding them a new home is something I like to do regularly. I will also post pictures as I pack up my crafting studio, setting up in a new office space and re-organizing them on my Facebook and Instagram. Alright, enough chit-chat. Let’s get to the project I am sharing today! I’ve been wanting to experiment with gesso and incorporate it to a card. So for today’s video, I am doing exactly that. You can use any gesso you have on hand, this is super easy and “no-mass” technique you will love.


20140804_110129 I also got to play with some of the new stamps sets I got last month – Friendly Flower from Simon Says Stamp and Sentiment & Quotes from Altenew. Check out the video above to see how I achieve this vibrant, lovely look on the card. Hope your Monday has been great! I will be back on Friday with another video tutorial to share with you. Happy Stamping!!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
