Oh my. That many? Yes it’s true! Since 2014 I’ve been making six tag videos each year, with four tags in each, to create my “24 tags of Christmas” series with a giveaway. They’re all collected here for you!
Note that the older ones…well, those don’t have products in stock anymore, though the ideas are still worthy. And as I’ve gone through them all, I’ve replaced supply list items with things I would recommend *now* as opposed to wayyy back then. Coz I’ve learned a thing or three!

Masking can be daunting when it’s a complex scene….so start with something simple and work your way up! I’ve collected as many of my videos that include the basics of masking for you – I’m sure there are more but since they were focused on coloring, I’d have to watch over 1000 videos to find it all. But….this is a pretty good start for anyone wanting to get started!

Lots of folks don’t associate me with clean and simple – those kinds of cards take less time than my crazy coloring does! BUT I put forth that the cards on this post ARE clean and simple – there’s plenty of empty space, which is what clean-and-simple really is all about!
