Etching Glass with Paper Smooches dies and Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and today I'm sharing an idea that I've been thinking about for SEVERAL months!!!! Ever since Paper Smooches introduced their dies, I've wanted to try etching glass/jars/etc. with a die cut vinyl mask. This is a perfect project for Paper Smooches dies!!! 

Here's the video:

Here's a couple of pictures of my etched jars, cups, and bowls:

Cross-Stamp-Stitching with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and in today's QUICK video I share how to create different images using a single Paper Smooches stamp and a cross-stitching pattern. I call this technique "Cross-Stamp-Stitching"!!! This means that we are cross-stitching with stamps! 

Here's the video:

Here's a couple of pictures of my cross-stamp-stitching creations:

A couple of weeks ago {HERE}, I shared one of our youngest Virtual Smooches fans watching one of my videos. Today I would like to share one of our more mature fans:) This photo is of Trav's Poppie watching a video in my studio. He looks like he is sleeping-- but I promise you that he enjoyed watching that craft episode:) LOL! 

I hope that you will send me pics of you watching our VS videos, as well as links to your creations using some of our techniques!!!
