Good morning!!
By request, here’s the instructions on how to complete the Valentine Nerds in a Video Tutorial! (p.s. I love the request… so, keep it up!!) When you’re done with the tutorial, make sure you read my Side Notes (you might be rewarded).
Video also shows you how to use the Gamsol/Mineral Spirits with the Prismacolor Pencils.
Side Notes…….. I know, towards the end I kinda messed up, but I’m a stamper, not a movie maker..hee hee. It’s hard getting the camera at the right angle…. and I think my image might be a little blurry. I normally film my tutorials on my vanity in my bathroom…BUT, thanks to our frozen pipes today, my vanity as well as my counter tops are loaded up. Good News, the little heater unfroze them after about 8 hours…now we just gotta pray they don’t refreeze!!
Here’s the info you’re looking for…..Everyone that posts a comment on this tutorial will be entered to win one of these boxes (minus the Nerds, that way it will fit in an envelope 🙂 I will draw a name at noon on Saturday Jan. 5th!
Thanks for checking in!!

Great tutorial. What was the little bottle that you kept the OMS in? I have been having to dip my stump in the big bottle. This is so cute to give for Valentines Day. I will try it. Thanks for taking the time under adverse conditions to film this. Glad you are back to normal.

WoW! What an adorable and useful project…Love the tutorial and the techniques! Great Project for many occasions!
Thank you for the Inspiration!!
Yeah!! My whinin’ paid off! Thanks for posting this. I guess now I have to order the valentine bundle (smile)! I’ll do that at club. I really appreciate you putting this together, under the circumstances. Hope things are better now!
Enjoyed the video on the NERDS box as I have enjoyed all your other videos. How does the mineral spirits with the pencils technique differ from using the blender pens? Or is this just another technique to get a similar effect?
This is awesome!! Nerds are my favorite!! You come up with the greatest ideas!! Whitney
Very cool video.
Thanks for sharing.
I am fan of your work.
Take care,
Ana.
THANKYOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH………I LOVE IT……….GREAT JOB!!!!!

What a great idea and video showing how to make it. I might just have to do this for valentine’s for the kids to take to school for their clasemates.
Thanks for making the video Angie!! I really enjoyed and can’t wait to get home tonight & try making one of these. Love your website and THANKS (BIG ONE) for sharing your ideas & techniques.
Love it! I was trying to figure out the box of Nerds yesterday – thinking that it was one of those mini boxes – wondering how you attached it! Duh! Now I know. Thanks for the tutorial. Maybe I can do some for my Mom & Me class!
Andrea
Angie, great tutorial. You’ve convinced me to buy the set!!!! Thanks!
Fabulous tutorial Angie!! I’ve never used the mineral spirits when stamping, but know that I know how thanks to you:) Love the card box it would be great for Logan’s nursery school treat, nerds substituted for something healthy,no I don’t think so! TSMFS!!
Super idea – I think I will have to borrow it for Valentine’s Day. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the tutorial! Loved the project, and I have always wanted to know how to use the Gamsol. It is so much easier for me to see a demo than to just read about it. Just discovered your site the other day, and I love it!
I Love this project. It’s too cute! Bet those kids just eat it up! (pun intended) Seriously though, making a video tutorial is very “out there” and I can’t imagine how you are doing this. I am impressed with your work!
Thanks for sharing.
absolutely adorable and I love the pink and brown combo too. thanks for the video too.
These are just adorable! Thanks for sharing!
That was a GREAT tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing! :0)
This was a great tutorial! I’m so glad this set is on it’s way to me as I write this! Thanks for the chance to win this little box!! Soooo cute!
Super cute box!! Can’t wait to try one! Thanks for the demo on the mineral spirits – I don’t own them so it was nice to see what it was all about! Thanks!!
YOWZA!!…I LOVE your tutes!!!…need more….want more!!!…I am soooo glad I found you again…there was some kind of conspiracy ( I think) going on, and my computer was NOT letting me get to your blog ( I ALMOST picked up the phone to call you!!)…ANyhoo…hope your pipes are running again. Thank you for your FUN Inspiration….think Im gonna have to get a STUMP now!!…lol
Creative blessings, Debbie
This is great I am always looking for how to craft videos. Very detailed. Thanks!
Hey Angie! Great tutorial! I was thinking about doing your tic tac thingy bopper for my get together this month with a valentine theme and love the nerds as another option! You’re great girl! 🙂 Lisa

This is a great project. I have 2 small children and what a great way to do Valentine’s for the classroom. Thanks so much – you are such an inspiration.
Hi Angie, I just love this tutorial! I work for a New York newspaper called Newsday and I’d love to share your video on our crafts blog, Cheap Thrills for our Valentine’s Day tutorial. Please let me know what you think! Thanks again for all the great videos! Corris
TFS, thanks for your video tutorials, I love
your blog, I check it our everyday
Jean
GREAT JOB!!
LOVE TO VIST YOUR BLOGG EVERYDAY!
Nice tutorial. Thank you for sharing with us. I liked the little trick with your fingernail. Our budget is tight so it great when you experienced card makers share your tips.-Janie
Hi Angie, I saw your valentines clip it was sooo cuuute but not as cute as Mick St John on Moonlight, ha ha. Me and the girls liked it, Cora just smiled and of course Savanna ran away. By the way, the Christmas items you made, the snowman soup and others were given as gifts to people in the hospital to cheer them up and to other people random, just to see a smile from them. love, your little sis!!!!!
I love your tutorials… you do a great job! Your projects are so cute too…. Thanks for sharing and offering one of your ideas to us.

thank you so much for sharing your video. i learned a great deal and am hoping to make these cute “boxes” for both of my kids’ valentines for this year. You have inspired me!!
Bobbi
WOW!!!!
You did a great job. I am so glad that I get email updates. Thanks so much for showing us your great projects. I am looking forward to more of your videos.
New to your site, but LOVE all your projects. Loved the video for the nerd boxes. Great job.
Great job on the tutorial. I could spend all day reading stamping blogs… and I enjoyed yours! Good idea!
Great tutorial, Angie. This is simply adorable. I saw your “Top 50” link in your sidebar. How do you like it? Oh, and thanks for being one of the first to post to my new blog. And thanks for offering to help a beginner. I think my daughter might be able to help me with the watermark. If not I may be begging for help.
I assume you used a watercolor pencil to outline the stamp but I wondered why you used mineral spirits to pull out the color instead of water and what is a “stump” made of? I have an aquapen and a non-stampin up blender pen that comes with a bottle of liquid…is that mineral spirits?
Hey Angie,
That is so cute. I’m new to all this crafting/stamping stuff and one day I hope to be able to make cute things like that. This is the coolest sight I have found so far. Help this new beginner catch the fever.
