Wizard's Tower

Today's Halloween card is a bit unusual - you can hardly find any traditional images associated with Halloween here (well, except for some tiny bats). 

The inspiration for this card was an old water tower close to where I live. Every time I pass by this tower it makes me feel like I am actually living in a magical world of The Lord of the Rings:

So here are the photos and a VIDEO of what I came up with:

Window To Look Through

Today's card is featuring my favorite mixed media product - Glass Drops by Fabrika Decoru - the one I got the most questions about. 
I am happy to announce that they are now available in the US and worldwide thanks to Kat Scrappiness online store! 

In a VIDEO tutorial below I am demonstrating some techniques you can do with Glass Drops as well as how to use Distress Stains with a fountain pen.

You can find more info on Glass Drops on Kat Scrappiness blog here.

WHITE CHRISTMAS - DAY 1 - Chilly Christmas

Dear Crafty Friends,

I would like to thank everyone who liked my last year's Holiday tutorials. 

I am happy to announce that this year I am also going to publish 25 tutorials, but instead of waiting until December I am starting right now so that if you wish to use some of the ideas as an inspiration for your own Holiday projects you'll have more time to do it.

This year series theme is WHITE CHRISTMAS so there will be lots of ice, snow and just color white. A corresponding PLAYLIST is created on my YouTube channel so you are welcome to visit any time and check out what's new. 

So here is the first project of this collection - a chilly card with a shaped shaker frame:
