Glitter Paste on Acetate! Plus, How to Turn it Into a Shaker Card! Alison Heikkila 2024-10-18 | ⬇️ EXPAND for more info!! ⬇️Hello! There are so many ways to make shaker cards. An often overlooked technique is to embellish your acetate.

Scary Kitties Altered Book Alison Heikkila 2024-10-16 | ⬇️ EXPAND for more info!! ⬇️Greetings! I was asked to be a Guest Designer this month over at Dr. Digi. Dr. Digi offers a ton of digital stamps in a variety of themes with lots of fun characters and critters. There is seriously so many digi stamps there, I bet you'll see something you like. I love working with digital stamps because I can manipulate the sizes easily, unlike with regular clear or rubber stamps. I decided to go with 3 digis from the Killer Kitties collection and make a mini altered book. I might need to go back and get the rest!

Whats Your Fandom Alison Heikkila 2024-10-11 | ⬇️ EXPAND for more info!! ⬇️Hello! Have you ever been part of a fandom? I've been in several....I'm a Blockhead (for NKOTB), I'm a Twi-Hard (for the Twilight Saga), I'm a Trekkie (for Star Trek), and since 2020, I've been an ARMY (for BTS). A lot of fandoms use various objects or trends to signal to others about said fandom. Lots of them use beaded bracelets with alphabet beads spelling out various things. Arguably, sometimes alphabet beaded bracelets have nothing to do with a pop culture reference, and they're just made for friendships, love, etc. My card today is inspired by the BTS fans, and the first solo album by one of the members. Folks that love BTS like I do, will immediately get the reference, but even if you have no idea who BTS is, I hope you'll watch my video to not only see the brand new Beads of Friendship Collection from Spellbinders, but to learn how you can use some of these dies for your own fandom or friendships.

Using Roll-Off Prints with Embossing Folders Alison Heikkila 2024-09-18 | ⬇️ EXPAND for more info!! ⬇️Hello! I had shared a post earlier in the month(linked below), and when I shared it around social media some folks mentioned how their roll-off prints never look as good as mine. Let's take a step back. What's a roll-off print? It's really just whatever ink/paint/other medium that's left on your brayer is rolled onto a scrap piece of paper. You can get some really beautiful colors and effects with prints like these, and I never throw them away. I use them for die cutting, stenciling, heat embossing, and for backgrounds. Today's video shows how I use roll-off prints with embossing folders. We'll be using the gorgeous Oak Forest Embossing Folder from Spellbinders.
