VIDEO Stretch the dies for making Tags

Hi everybody :-)

Its the first December, that means we are into the christmas-season.... wohooo...  and maybe you need some tags for all the presents you will give to your loved ones?

The idea is, not only to use the tag-dies. You also can use other dies for tags, and I wanted to show you how I created the backgrounds.

Christmas Gift Boxes

Hey stampers, Anni here.

With Christmas ahead there is not only the need for Christmas cards but also for gift boxes. I made three and decorated them using Create A Smile stamps.

I LOVE to make gift boxes. So I went through the new stamps and l searched for sets that would fit on a box: Tollpatschige Weihnacht/Santa Clumsy and Sweets & Treats are perfect for this.

• Gift boxes are easy and fast to make if you have a die. Then all you need is an image and a sentiment to decorate the box.
• For the box that I used the set Sweets & Treats for I did some masking. This way you can use the filling of the stocks to decorate the box.

• When I colour with alcohol markers I like to use a coloured pencil to add the shadows. With the finer tip it is easier.
• For the finishing touch I used Nuvo drops in various colours.

[VIDEO] 3 Backgrounds with Alcohol Inks

Hi everybody,

I tried to make a little Video for you using alcohol inks for backgrounds. I'm really no pro in this technique, but I wanted to give a little instruction how I do that technique and maybe you'll get a little feeling about this way of creating backgrounds...

I found out that there is a world behind distress ink and watercolor ;-) The backgrounds are so very important of the most of our cards, so I wantet to try something I didn't know yet.. maybe you'll have the same fun with alkohol inks like me.

And here is my Video in Deutsch :-)

Did you know that all the stampsets are available in german AND english? So If you see german sentiments on my cards, you can be sure this set is also international in the shop  ;-)
