Kick It Pull Tab Tutorial
Got everything worked out and finalized to be able to share my Kick It pull tab tutorial! This pull tab is from my September cover page (you can check out the setup here). I apologize that it took a while to get this for you but I wanted to make sure that it made sense, and most importantly, that it works consistently!

Create Backgrounds with Distress Inks

There really isn’t much to this technique, rather the real magic lies in how you use it. You can check out my YouTube video here, where I describe the different kinds of Distress Inks, and show you how they work.

Stamp Inks for Bullet Journals
Starting my Bullet Journal Stamping Series with stamp inks for bullet journals. I decided to kick off talking about the inks first since they make the biggest difference. There are so many varieties of stamp inks out there, so I figured, before talking about your stamping basics, I would share the mysteries behind the different ink varieties first. I go a step further and test the different inks in an 80GSM, 90GSM, 100GSM, 120GSM, and a 160GSM bullet journal so that you can see and decide for yourself. You can watch the video here. It is a bit of a lengthy one but it was a lot to fit in.…
