Do you have Nuvo Drops  or  Stickles in your paper crafting stash? I love playing with these products when I'm crafting. Lots of pink Nuvo Crystal Drops on this card! They add so much shine and dimension to a project. However... have you ever used them for other than making "dots"? If not you might want to try this fun technique... watch my video for details... Here are a few pictures of what you see in the video so you can see the detail of the "enameling"up close... Here are the close shots of the butterflies... that enameled look is so pretty!

Welcome to my blog,  Paper Crafting With Rebecca ! How have you been doing as we all stay home and stay safe? Are you getting a lot of crafting done? I have. I thought I might play "catch up" with you all and post a few pictures of some of what I've been doing these days... Of course, this terrible pandemic has been front and center on the minds of so many of us... including mine. My art journal has been a great outlet for me to vent my frustrations regarding this Covid-19 experience going on all over the world. I've released my "dark feelings" as well as feelings of encouragement. The Murdering of Spring Done in acrylics and using a poem I wrote. You Got This! I watercolored the hummingbird from the Sweet Hummingbird stamp set. Of course I have been trying to send cards of encouragement to others during this trying time, too. My granddaughter loves receiving cards in the mail. I think of handmade cards as a "paper hu

Don't you simply love gift tags!?! I do! You can use them as journaling cards in scrapbooks, or embellishments on a handmade card, bookmarks or as actual gift tags! I've put together a video using the June 2020 Stamp of the Month (SOTM) from Close to my Heart (CTMH) to showcase a super easy ink blending technique on gift tags. I will list supplies I used below the video but you can always use the supplies you already have in your stash! For my gift tags I  added some  Nuvo Glitter Drops  - Adds that little extra "something" to the project.  Have fun making these beautiful gift tags!

Welcome to my blog,  Paper Crafting With Rebecca ! If you've visited my blog before you know I love doing Color Dares! Let's pull out our greens and join in on this one... If you would like to read the rules, see other entries, or join the fun here is the link →  Color My Heart Color Dare #394 - Monochromatic "Greens" . To start with I pulled out my favorite three green inks: Willow, Clover, and Evergreen. I also pulled together some White Daisy Cardstock and a sponge dauber. Then I got busy blending some ink... While that background ink dried I started to work on my hummingbird. I used my new Sweet Hummingbird Stamp + Thin Cuts (Z3725) for this card design. First I stamped the hummingbird in black and then I "watercolored" him in using my green inks and a  small round waterbrush. This is so fun to do! While the hummingbird dried I attached the my green blended piece (trimmed to 3.75" x 5") to a

Have you done this before and do you have any suggestions? Was this your first time trying this technique... how did it go for you? Let me know what you think about this technique in the comments below. Happy Paper Crafting, Rebecca Disclosure Page

Do you miss wandering around the craft supply stores? Are you lacking some inspiration for your next paper crafting project? This pandemic has us all staying home and using our currently available paper crafting supplies so I thought I would offer a fun stamping challenge to you for inspiration! Here is how it works... pull out four or five stamp sets you seldom use (whatever you have in your stash), then drop them into a bag... reach in... pull out the first stamp set your fingers touch. No going back! You have to use that one! Now... take that one stamp set and create three cards and/or scrapbook layouts using three different techniques. You can add whatever embellishments you want to, you can use any paper or cardstock you
