Hi everyone!! Well I am back this past week was wonderful! We had a great time in Webb Alabama seeing one of our favorite speakers!! If you have followed me for any length of time you know that my husband and I have been trying to conceive and God really spoke to us this past week and we are excited about the future. We believe that God is getting ready to bless us with a little one!! I will keep you posted on that!! Now onto the last post. I had put up a blog p o ll fo r the E2 and the winning thing was question and answer but then I only got one question and here it is...... phillychick said... I just tried to cut a card from gypsy to E2 and it would not weld. Is it possible to weld from gypsy to E2? Thanks, Dian Dabek Dian, I personally do not have a gypsy so I am not the expert on this question for the E2 however I searched around for you and found if you go over to Creations by Christina that she has a video series on connecting the gypsy to the E2!! Thanks Christina and Th...

E2 video: Using scraps of paper for layering!

Hey guys! Today’s tutorial is about using scraps of paper for making a layered image and putting the paper where is needs to be on the mat so that you can cut it all out at once. I hope you like it!!!

Getting those layers to line up on the E2

Here is another quick video!!!!

Video 3 of the E2 series: Image Placement!!

Hey Everyone here is another video. Todays video teaches you how to place your image any where on your mat!!  I use a piece of scrap paper and am able to put the blade exactly where I want it to cut. I wanted to cut this white decorative frame from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge for my butterfly to sit in the middle of. I had a scrap of paper from a mess up that I did and I wanted to use it for these frames!! After pressing a few buttons my E2 cut exactly where I wanted it to. Here is another Butterfly!! One of the things I didn’t mention in the video is that you can get even more precise by changing your setting to one quarter inch instead of one half an inch. I may post another quick video on that !! Enjoy and let me know how it works for you!!

Layout using CTMH Art Philosophy!

Good Morning Bloggers!!!! It has been alittle while since I have posted! I have been enjoying my brother and his family lately. They recently just moved down from Upstate New York.  Moving from there to Easter Tennessee is a big move. It has been great spending time with them and it is also funny to see them experience the south!  Well here is a quick layout that I did using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge. One of the things that attracted me to this cartridge is the differents backgrounds and borders that this cart has and of course the flowers!!!  I used some scrap papers that I had and then coordinated some bazzill cardstock to go with it!!. I inked everything of course. I glimmer misted my flowers!! Then I tried my hand at some rubber stamps that I received from CTMH. Now I am new at stamping and I didn't do the greatest job but I was ok with the turn out!! It is hard to see here but I also used some stickles on the stamps and flowers!! Is there anything that ...
