My Cluttered Corner

The Stamp Market released four new colors of inks and cardstock and they just happen to make the most fresh and fun color combination for Christmas cards!

Combine them with new stamps and dies like this Santa Cover Die!

Or stack them with this FaLaLa cover die to get the full effect of all 4 colors on one card!

Of course the new inks fit in perfect with the rest of the line. 

I added in some Cherry Kisses cardstock and ink for a pop of red!

Check out the new colors, new supplies and these cards in today's video:

Last year, I came out with a video featuring 6 ways to use embossing folders.

To this day, that video remains my most popular, so I thought it was time for a re-fresh!

So today I am sharing 5 (MORE) ways to use embossing folders! I tried them on specialty cardstock like metallic foil

and glitter cardstock:

and vellum.

I used Distress Oxide Sprays inside the embossing folder.

and of course my favorite technique...using a brayer to apply paint 

or ink:

I waited a pretty long time before trying out the new formulation of dye inks that sit on a foam pad like those from Catherine Pooler, The Stamp Market and Concord &9th. But when I did, I was blown away! They really make it so easy to stamp bright, clear clean images in fabulous colors!

So I definitely love them for stamping, but I wondered what else these inks could do! I tried them with splattering and heat embossing,

I used them as watercolors,

I tried them for ink blending and found they were also water reactive!

I tried them with direct to paper swiping.

And I tried them with smooshing! I loved them in all of these techniques!
