Hi all!  It’s Maureen here and today is the start of a new weekly series called Whatcha Watching?  I will be posting every Wednesday unless there is some special event (like the DT Dare) on the blog.  Basically I’ll be sharing videos that I posted that you might have missed.  Either little tip videos or full start to finish project videos.  I hope to see you here every Wednesday!

So I’m seeing a lot of “out of stock” signs in the store – I’m guessing you all loved that last release, huh?  Yup, I loved everything and I had a ton of fun playing!

One item that I especially loved was the Gingerbread House Die Set.  It has a lot of cute pieces to put together a custom gingerbread house.  Here’s a video introducing the set and a couple tips for when you’re using the set:

Here’s a card I made (opened up) with the Gingerbread die set and also Sweet Holiday Greetings and the matching dies:

I’m not sure if it’s been done before, but I decided to call mine a Stair Step Surprise Easel Card, and here’s basically how I put it together:

Next up, I have a technique video about White Outline Embossing.  I have a particular way that I like to do it with people and animals – I do their face features in black ink and then don’t white emboss over them.  Here’s an example:

And here’s how I do it:

And finally I have a card I made for the Sketch and Color Challenge #2:

And here’s the start to finish video on the making of it:

Whew!  That’s a lot to watch!  From now on, since I’ll be posting almost every week, I’ll probably only have 1 or 2 videos per week.

Hopefully you enjoy what I have for this week!  Thanks for reading/watching and I’ll see you back here next Wednesday!
