Video Tutorial: Practice Blending your Copic Markers and Create Projects with your Scraps

Hi everyone! It's Mindy from My Creative Scoop. I'm back with another video tutorial to share with you. I'm really excited about showing you how I made this card. 

I'm using Hello Spring Stamp Set and the Hello Spring Nice and Neat Die Set. I also am using the Friendly Floral Stamp Set. I'm also using the Sherbet Sequins for the finishing touches on my card.

In the video I'm using Copic Xpress it Blending Card, Memento Desert Sand Ink, Clear Embossing Powder and here's the list of Copic Markers I'm using.

BG18, BG15, BG13, BG11, BG10, YR15, YR20, E55, YG63 and G20

Remember you can always substitute for colors that you have. Just make sure you're using coordinating colors and if you can the same amount of colors.

Enjoy the video!

I hope you enjoyed the video and it inspires you to create new projects and practice your coloring. 

See you all next month!

Creating Backgrounds for your Neat and Tangled Stamps

Hello everyone! It's Mindy from My Creative Scoop with another Copic Tutorial to share with you. Today I'm using the Ride with Me Stamp Set and the coordinating Ride with Me Nice and Neat Dies. I just LOVE hot the die cuts the legs apart so you can slide the other leg behind the bike. Super adorable!!!!

Speaking of adorable -- have you seen the new release! Oh me oh my! I can't wait to get my hands on that little monster. 

Check out the new March Bundle!

Neat and Tangled seriously have the cutest little stamps and I just love making scenic backgrounds for them. In this month's video I'm going to be showing you one of my favorite simple backgrounds.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I'll be back next month. If you decide to create this background I would love to see -- drop a link in the comments! 

Have a wonderful month!

Stretching Your Stamps And Dies With Taheerah!

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday! It's Taheerah here with a loved-up card!

I really feel like small dies and stamps get neglected a lot when we create. Actually these stamps and dies can end up being some of the most versatile of the bunch! Today I pulled out the two heart dies from the My Plate Is Full die collection and put them to good use!

Here's what I came up with:

I love how this turned out!

I started with a panel of white cardstock and die cut the hearts from it - many times! It actually didn't take that long because I put them both through at the same time, and I was going for a random 'falling' pattern so I didn't need to worry too much about positioning.

When that was all done I watercoloured my card panel, splattered on some mists and dried it with my heat tool. I then pulled out one of my all-time favourite Neat & Tangled sets - Gifts For You - and stamped my sentiments. I built up the 'A Lot' part by selectively inking some of the letters from the other sentiments - clever huh? :-) I love stretching my supplies like this! I added the full stops by hand with a marker, adhered my panel on top of some patterned paper and onto my card base and I was all done!

Do you enjoy stretching your stamps? Which other Neat & Tangled stamps or dies are you now looking at in a new light? :-)

I hope this card brought some fun to your day! Thanks for stopping by!

A stamped scenic card. Video

Hi everyone! This is Yana and today I have a fun scenic card to share with you. After Neat & Tangled releaser their first dies, those being the On the Corner and A lot to Say I immediately started playing with them. 

I have already shared my first cards with you here and today I wanted to show you another card that I made using the new die. I also used a ton of stamps from Neat & Tangled and created a scene behind my street sign.
