Mixed Media Magic

 

 

Soon the dust will settle from the holidays and we can make time to get creative again! Today, we have a great project by Tiffany to help kick off the New Year in mixed media style. She created a gorgeous project in her video today and we think you are going to love it!

 

Create beautiful texture with layers of flowers, crocheted doilies and art stones combined for a one-of-a-kind look. Combine a mixture of wax colors to bring out the details...

Sweet Paper Dolls

We never start off with a video, so guess what! We're switching things up and doing just that! This fabulous video by Nathalie shows off how to create a beautiful tag using the Julie Nutting "Camille" stamp with a touch of mixed-media magic! 

 

Paper Dolls

 

Playing with paper dolls is simply delightful. It's a craft that transcends generations. Today our design team played with Julie Nutting's paper doll line to create a vast variety of projects, showing the true versatility of her stamps, dies, and ephemera! If you love cards and tags Julie's whole line (from stamps, dies, to ephemera) will be perfect. But you can also try her line with mixed-media, mini-albums, and planners. Come see!
