Easy to Make Reverse Diecuts That Glow In The Dark!

 Hello and Happy Halloween!

Yep, you're seeing double!  (and you now have night-vision!)  

I love making my stash more versatile, especially when it’s easy! This project features Mr. Bones by Tim Holtz/Sizzix which returned in their vault collection (linked below) and glow-in-the-dark embossing powder.  I show the steps in my YouTube video:

Here are the supplies I used (or the best substitutions;):

I'll be back very soon with some Christmas projects, so stay tuned!

Take care,

Watercoloring In Bed Strategies!

Hello!

I hope all is well with you!  I recently had a knee replaced and things are progressing as it should.  I guess I got a little ambitious and was sentenced to bed rest to get the swelling down.  

I wasn’t able to craft along with Tim (Holtz) and Heidi (Simon Says Stamp owner) during their recent workshop.  The replay is available on Simon’s YouTube channel and I was determined to try to at least color something.  There are some spray stains in the accompanying kit that were supposed to be used as watercolors.  

Even I’m smart enough to know that I’d wind up with tie-dyed sheets, so I got out a few Inktense watercolor pencils and a water brush.  Other than constantly sliding down off the pillows and losing stuff in the bedding, I had fun!  There are lots of booboos, but I passed the time more productively than just watching TV.  Most of the booboos can be covered up or embellished;). I love the loose coloring style that Tim teaches as I’m not a great colorer.

I don’t have links because they were limited edition sets,  but I still think the replay is worth the watch and just play with what you already have!

Here are some pictures of my afternoon:

Looking forward to getting down to the craft room soon!

Take care!
