Hello friends! I am back with Silicone molding putty! In this video I show you how to make the inverse/reverse of a Silicone Mold. Since it is very similar technique, I also describe how to make 2 piece molds. I had planned on this post years ago, but the first video I made back then…

I have other posts on using paper cutouts using the accucut machine, but this time I wanted to emboss using the Sizzix Big Shot. And I wanted…
Hi Everyone! This post is a completely different subject matter than my usual craft related tips and tricks. First of all, I have terrible hair (and skin for that matter haha). My hair has always been either fine and limp, or, as I got older and colored my hair, frizzy and very often both together….
