Happy Heart Day Video Tutorial

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).Nerds_happy_heart_3  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!!

  1. 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.

  6. 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?

  20. 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!

  21. 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.

  28. 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

  29. 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!!!!!

  33. 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.

  34. 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?

  35. 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.
