Faux Spotlight Technique & 60K Subscriber Giveaway!

January 31, 2023 6 Comments

Hi Friends! Thank you for stopping by today! I am thrilled to share that I hit 60,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel! WOW! That is mind-boggling to me. I’m sooo thrilled, honored, and humbled!

Never in my dreams, when I first started my channel, did I imagine the journey I’d take by sharing my love of stamping with others. So many new friends from around the world and so many blessings. I am truly grateful. Next goal: 100K! I’m always learning and trying to improve my videos, our internet is a constant challenge (takes almost two hours to upload a 4 minute video at home, not counting the HOURS spent planning, filming, editing, saving and compressing), but I have to admit, I love the process.

Huge thanks to all of my wonderful subscribers – I truly have the BEST YouTube community! To show my appreciation, I’m going to have a little giveaway. I’ve got a box of goodies filled with products made right here in Nova Scotia (gourmet chocolates, beautiful hand made soaps, etc) as well as Stampin’ Up! logo items (shopping bags, tumbler, and other fun items) and a few other surprises tucked in too! For a chance to win, click on the video below, so that you are watching it on the YouTube site, and a leave comment. I’ll announce the winner early next week! Good luck!

**Please Note: if you receive a comment on YouTube that you’ve won and to contact me via telegram, this is SPAM and is not from me. I will announce the winner on my YouTube channel, via email and on my Serene Stamper Facebook page.

The “Spotlight Technique” has got to be one of my all-time FAVOURITES. If you type ‘spotlight’ in the search box here on my blog you will see TONS of cards (and videos) that showcase this technique. However, today I’m showing you a variation of this technique that I’ve NEVER shown before! I’m calling it the “Faux Spotlight Technique”, because it’s only one layer of card stock (vs. layering card stock cut with dies or punches). This is quite an addictive technique because the variations are ENDLESS! In my video demonstration, I create FOUR different cards as well as options for colouring. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did making it for you!

I joined Stampin' Up! the first night they arrived in Canada, April 2002, and what a ride it's been! At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…
