Scrapbook Soup Behind the Page Interview 2014
Earlier this spring I was invited to film some segments for the nationally-televised Scrapbook Soup tv program, which airs on PBS. In addition to the two tutorials I filmed (including the Two-Fer Inlaid Diecut Cards and Making Custom Stencils and Masks) I also was interviewed by the host, Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. This was an unscripted, unrehearsed interview- and I was sorta surprised at some of the answers that popped out of my mouth! Take a look: That last answer was […]
Scrapbook Soup: Inlaid Die-Cutting Technique: “Adore” Card
Inlaid Die-Cutting sounds pretty fancy…but really, it’s just the process of using ALL the pieces from a die cut (manual or electronic) and using the positive and negative shapes together so that you fit the pieces back together to make a flat design, rather than layering them on top. And best of all? You get TWO versions of every card! (I love a two-fer!) Let’s get started! You’ll need: (some of these are affiliate links) Die Cutting Machine I used […]
Scrapbook Soup 403-1; Making a Card Using Custom Stencils and Masks
You may remember that earlier this spring I visited the set of Scrapbook Soup and filmed two segments. If you follow along with me on Twitter or Facebook, you may know that last spring I was a guest on Scrapbook Soup for a few segments. I demonstrated how to use the Brother Scan N Cut to make stencils and masks with the rubber stamps you already have and then made a card. It’s an idea that I’ve shared on my […]

Behind The Scenes at Scrapbook Soup TV 2014
Well what do you know? May is filming week for Scrapbook Soup TV– a wonderful scrapbook/papercraft/mixed media program that airs on PBS stations around the country and online. Last year I was honored to be a guest– and I must have done a passable job, because they invited me back! I snapped some photos in the green room and the talented May Flaum got some of me on set. Here’s your sneak peek! I used PanPastels for my segment- […]

Scrapbook Soup Segment: Layout Using the Silhouette and Stencil Rubbing Technique
So, rarely do I share scrapbook layouts here. First off, I’m not a big scrapbooker in the traditional sense, and secondly…well, I’m just not that good at it! But when I was asked to come back to Scrapbook Soup and tape some segments for next season, I thought I’d better dust off my scrapbooking skills and make at least ONE traditional scrapbook page. But since my inclinations lean toward the mixed-media side of things (read: I love to be artsy-fartsy […]
Behind the Scenes at Scrapbook Soup TV
This week I visited the brand new KS Productions Studios to be on-set for the filming of the next season of Scrapbook Soup. I visited back in 2011 to share some tips on crafting as you age, but this time I had THREE segments! All of them where “how-to’s”, each using a die-cut element. But this visit was a whole different experience! First I’ll show you the projects. You can see that I use die-cuts for each of my projects. […]
Scrapbook Soup and the Week in Review Ending 4/20/12
Id barely recovered from last week’s trip to Washington, DC when I got a fabulous call to come tape a segment for the PBS show, Scrapbook Soup. I’d chatted with the producer months before….but like so many things, it was kind of in a holding pattern and nothing was set. So I scrambled to get some product together for a quick segment on adaptive tools for the scrapbooker. I’ll have more on the trip this week, but I did get […]
Behind the Scenes at “Scrapbook Soup”
I find it amusing and beyond coincidence that the majority of PBS craft shows are shot on the East side of Cleveland. Every week, my favorite crafty people fly in, shoot their segments, and fly away back to their busy lives. Imagine how thrilled I was when one of my new crafty friends, Julie McGuffee, rang me up to let me know she was in town taping her new show, Scrapbook Soup, and I was invited to stop by and […]
Craft Faves: Jillibean Soup Papers- Blossom Soup
I had the pleasure of swinging by the Jillibean Soup booth at CHA last winter, and it was soooo adorable. Laina, one of their designers, was nice enough to give me pack of papers to try out, and they’ve been tucked in my paper stash for quite some time! Maybe because the papers seemed so springy, and winter has dragged on way too long here in Ohio. However, I pulled out the pack the other day, and got really inspired! […]
My Favorite Crafty Things: Brad Setter and Piercing Tool
The other day when I published my video on Start-To-Finish Watercolor Cards, I got a comment about the tool I was using for the Inlaid Die-Cutting Technique. I realized that once again I’d reached for one of my favorite crafty tools: the We R Memory Keepers Brad Setter and Piercing Tool. . I reviewed this tool AGES ago…but it’s still on my worktable and I think I use it almost every day! I made you this little video to show you […]
Overview of New Sculpey and Premo Products from Cindy Lietz
The Universe seems to be sending me messages lately. First, I was reminded in my Behind the Page interview that Polymer Clay was my “desert island” craft. And THEN I found out that the International Polymer Clay Association Retreat was being held in my home state! And then I got a righteous box of goodies from Sculpey! Well…. I got a box a while ago. But I just found it again. (gulp.) Anyway, I’ve been meaning to working on a […]
Lindy’s Stamp Gang Sprays Review on Balzer Designs
Last week I was reading one of my favorite artist’s blogs- Balzer Designs– and Julie did a mini- review of the Lindy’s Stamp Gang Sprays. I saw this same product at CHA, but we didn’t get any to review. Lucky for us, Julie did, and she wrote up a great overview of the sprays and how she uses them. She even did a swatch test! I encourage you to clicky-click on over to read Julie’s full post and leave […]
Fun with Metal Foil Tape
One of the best thins about the crafting/artin community is that I’m constantly getting inspired by other blogs. One of my favorites is BalzerDesigns.com– Julie is an amazing mixed-media artist and I’ve been lucky enough to appear on her show “Scrapbook Soup” the past few years. Last week, she shared a canvas that she did as part of a Ranger Challenge with Distress Paints. She followed THAT up with tutorial using foam and metal foil tape that got my gears […]
