As I looked through all these new dies, texture plates, and other tempting products, one particular item had my name written all over it – the new die template Cogs. Oh yeah. I knew these would be the ones I would use first. But wait. What is this?!?! Spellbinders is launching a new line of mixed media products called Media Mixáge! I’d been given the new Grate Works Three texture plate! And what?? Sheets of aluminum metal?!?! It just kept getting better and better.
Having chosen my main components I took a deep breath and entered mixed media heaven. When I finally came up for air, as if by magic, this appeared:
Linda Duke is thrilled to share the SBS4-390 Gold Circles One templates, from the brand new Imperial Gold Collection. They truly add a 4th dimension to your project. Spellbinders Imperial Gold dies can cut, emboss, stencil, and now deboss too!
These ground breaking dies will amaze and astound you, and will change the landscape of die cutting as we know it today! Laser-like detail and 4X the creative power! I have created a video showing you how easy it is to work with these dies.
The result is fabulous.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The new Junior Magnetic Placement Mat (GC-015) is necessary to perfectly cut, emboss, stencil and deboss all of our Imperial Gold die templates.

Hello there stampers! We have some fantastic projects to share with you today all using the Sheet Music Background Stamp:
Distress Markers are water-based pens which can be used for journaling, colouring stamped images, tinting photographs and many more techniques. They come with a dual tip – a fine point for writing and a brush tip for wider pen strokes, which makes them ideal for scrapbooking! Here's some ideas on how you can use Distress Markers on your scrapbook layouts!
Rachel Grieg says we are so excited to have Lindsay
as a guest artist! I have known Lindsay for a few years
now as we always demo on the same booth at the
UK Hobby, Stitch & Craft show for
Personal Impressions.
We were also a part of the Stamping All Stars program
on UK QVC TV together (wayyyy too much fun!).
Lindsay has become a really great friend and I
always look forward to seeing her each year and to
check out her latest creations! Lindsay designs her
own stamps too for Personal Impressions and yet
she still finds the time to demo and have fun with
our Darkroom Door stamps.
She even used Darkroom Door stamps for the front
cover of her book:

Coffee and Dark Brown Cardstock
A5 White scored card.
Take a piece of the Manilla Cardstock, cut to 5 ½” x 8”, using the Ink Blending Tool, pick up some Stormy Sky ink and blend across the top of the cardstock. Across the centre, do the same again using Frayey Burlap ink. Then across the bottom use Pine Needles ink.
Using the tree stamp from the Andy Skinner set, ink up in Tea Dye ink and stamp to the right hand side of the cardstock. Do the same again using Walnut Stain ink on the left hand side. Finally, using the Archival Black inkpad, stamp the tree onto the centre of your card. Then using the small branches and flowers from the Andy Skinner stamp set, ink these up in Walnut Stain ink, stamp along the bottom and go over with Tea Dye ink doing the same again ~ this creates depth on your card. Ink up the flying birds from the stamp set in Walnut Stain ink, stamp across the top of the trees.
Take your Walnut stain ink pad and gently add some of this ink around the edges of your card, this creates a burnished look. Mat and layer this onto the coffee cardstock then onto the brown cardstock and finally adhere to your A5 card.
Using a manilla tag, ink up the tree stamp using Walnut Stain ink on the left hand side, being careful to stamp only part of the image and as you will be using an acrylic block, you can match where the branches are to get an exact impression. Do the same again using Tea Dye ink and stamp to the right hand side of the tag ~ again only stamping part of this image. Finally, ink up the tree using the Archival Black ink and stamp in the lower centre of the tag. Ink the edges of your tag using Walnut Stain ink for a burnished look.
Take a small piece of manilla cardstock and ink up using various colours of distress inkpads, blend with your applicator too. Then using the Barn Door red ink pad, ink up the words “Always Follow Your Heart’ and stamp onto this. Use some Walnut stain ink to darken the edges of your cardstock.
Take a small length of the ribbon, swipe the Barn Door ink pad across this to colour it red. You must allow time for this to dry.
When dry, stretch across your tag and staple the ribbon onto your tag. Attach your stamped words with a staple and your done!

Jolly Noel
Jolly Noel project from Lindsay Mason and Crafts Beautiful.
Create a card, Tree ornament and a Triptyke keepsake with a Dickensian feel for Christmas.
From Teresa: I have used the very imposing Buckingham Palace image from the Photochips pack for this monochromatic card. There are a couple of shapes cut with Nestabilities under the words. I reckon this would make a great dinner invitation - "Come dressed for dinner with the Queen. No riff raff!" LOL.
From Teresa: Here I've stamped the Santa image and 25 Dec from the new Dear Santa set using Midnight Blue StazOn ink.
I have placed this image over some corrugated cardboard, and attached various trims and a brad from My Mind's Eye. The patterned paper is Graphic45. The Santa image is perfect for achieving a vintage look.

Follow Your Heart by Rachel Greig from Darkroom Door.
For this card I've used Alcohol Inks for the background, then stamped the image over the top with Archival Jet Black inkpad. The quote was stamped and stapled to the torn tag and adhered to the card with foam adhesive. I've also used the postmark stamp on the actual folded card just to give it some extra detail.
