June Art and Soul on MYCTMH TV

This months Art and Soul Episode features several cute techniques including faux paper tearing, embossing and my favorite; sparkles!!!


I made a card using the faux tearing technique for my little sisters birthday! It was so easy to do... all you do is tear a scrap piece of paper and lay it over the portion of the card you want to be left white, then using your rubber brayer simply apply ink to a desired tone over the unmasked portion of the card. When your done it looks as though you have two layers of cardstock, but it really is only one! in my card i masked the top and used tulip ink with the brayer along the bottom of the card.


I also used the technique from page 27 in our summer idea book to create an embossed foam number for on the card. You choose a larger, patterned stamp (i used Spot On Backgrounds: D1280) and ink the stamp with your Versamark pad. *note: do not stamp the foam number yet! Then heat the foam number and stamp the patterned image onto it while it is still hot and hold for at least three full seconds to allow the foam to take the shape of the stamp set. This creates a cute pattern on the number and gives it texture! In my card I also used the stamp set to give my letter "u" the same pattern in tulip ink!

New Episode on Art and Soul: Mementos for the Man in Your Life

I recently started watching the Art and Soul Episodes on CTMH TV and I have to say I am so excited to put some of these amazing techniques to practice. This months episode features a really cool photo wallet and layouts that are more masculine for those special men in our lives. this episode features the Campin' Fever stamp set (on sale now!) and using one ink color to create a beautiful wood grained patter simply by using first, second and third generation stamping and the rock and roll technique which are all explained in the episode. This months Art and Souls also shows unique and wonderful ways to use your corner rounder, to create little accents and scalloped edges. Last but not least Jeanette displays a delicious assortment of paper crafted cupcakes!

Click here to watch the video and feel free to email me your projects completed using the techniques or your version or the cute little photo wallet!



This is my version of the photo wallet. I made it using the left over pieces after I completed the Animal Cookies Workshop on the Go. I put photos of my brothers and sister in it and now when someone asks me what my brother and sister look like i can show them! From top to bottom they are: Cameron (5), Karissa (6) and Branden (9).



I was just so happy to learn a fun new project that I could use for me and cannot wait to teach it to everyone I know!
