Stamping, Paints, Photoshop- even more fun together!
Hello friends! Today I am back with another idea for embossing leather. I don’t know if you’ve tried this before- using a cutting die for embossing. If you use a cutting die with embossing rubber, it gives you more of the embossed look rather than actually cutting. It still kind of cuts a little bit,…

Hi all! I’m still trying to go through all my older videos to get them up on the blog and out in YouTube land, so here’s another one. In this video I use Shrink plastic pieces created from die cuts and make molds from them. So you can create smaller versions of your die cuts…
Hi all! I’m still going through my old videos to post here. I’ve been off learning metalsmith and jewelry techniques which leaves a lot less time for making videos and blogging, haha! In this video, I combine two different things- one is a resin piece and the other is a die cut- and I combine…
