Eco-friendly Reusable Masking

Today I am excited to share how I make and use reusable masks with Essentials by Ellen Art Magnetic Masking Material and the Essentials by Ellen Craft Assistant. No more taping stencils or masks down! The magnetic system holds masks and stencils really well, is easy to use and is really inexpensive.  And you can make masks out of dies you already own! 
I love it!
I hope you enjoy the short video I made to explain all of this in a bit more detail.
Tips:

1.  Choose the dies of the shapes you mask most often with and die cut them out of the Essentials by Ellen Art Magnetic Masking Material.
2. Die cut one size of that shape die or multiple sizes on the same mask if you would like.  See the video for details on this.
3. You need a metal base such as the Essentials by Ellen Craft Assistant to use these magnetic masks with.
4. I hold the magnetic mask very lightly.  They hold very well if you make your magnetic masks with a 3/4 to 1 inch border past the edge of your card stock.
5. I store my magnetic masks on Essentials by Ellen Die Storage Magnets in page protectors.

 I hope you try this out.
And I hope that you can go make a card and have some fun today!
Thank you for stopping by!

Colored Cardstock versus Comic Markers with Altenew Rose Flurries 3D Die Set

I made 2 cards with the Altenew Rose Flurries 3D Die Set , one using colored cardstock and one using copic markers to color white cardstock. These cards are inspired by the Altenew November 2019 Inspiration Challenge. For my first card I pulled out all my miscellaneous colored cardstock that matched the inspiration challenge colors.  I was short a couple of colors so I blended some ink onto my darkest color to deepen the color for the last layer to die cut. I die cut all my layers, but this is where I ran into a few problems. I had mixed up wrong colors for some of the layers of the flowers.  (I was curious to try a different method so that prompted the second card.) Once I had re-die cut the missing layers I glued all my pieces together and glued them onto a cream color A2 sized card and stamped my sentiment which is from the Altenew Build a Flower Sakura Blossom  stamp set.     For my second card I use the layering gui...

I am having the most fun this month!!! I am excited to be joining  The Male Room Challenge  as guest designer where my  Go Wild card  was chosen to be the winning card.  The theme for The Male Room Challenge is Team Colors.  To those of you who don't know me, I am from Canada.  We have one NBA (National Basketball Team), the Toronto Raptors.  And they won the NBA championship in 2019!!! My card is inspired by their team colors:)  And huge thanks to my very sweet friend  Just Me: c  for loaning me your  MFT All Star High Top  dies and   MFT Be Original  stamps!  I couldn't have done this without you!

Adding Depth and Texture to Your Coloring and Essentials by Ellen Mondo Amaryllis

I love to color! Today I am using the beautiful Essentials by Ellen Mondo Amaryllis stamp set along with the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Holly stamp set for the sentiment. I have a couple of tips on how I achieve greater depth and texture in my coloring. Here is a short video on how I made and colored this card. Tips: 1. Use both warm and cool colors in your image. Here my warm, or more orangey red is Copic Marker R29 and my cool, or more blue reds are Copic Marker R89  and Copic Marker R39. 2. Use a muted medium shade of blue such as Copic Marker B34  to deepen the color of the shadows. 3. For more realism add texture once you are finished with your Copic Markers using Prismacolor Pencils. I used PC 1029 and PC1067. 4. And most important, just color and have fun!   I am joining 3 challenges with this card. Emerald Creek Dares Challenge: Christmas/Winter   with Emerald Creek Craft Supplies Time Out Challenges: Merry and Cheerful If ...
