I’m taking a break from the coloring and cards today to share some easy treat bag toppers I made with just a handful of dies from Crafter’s Companion. Although mine is a birthday topper, the designs and colors I used could just as easily work for Valentine’s Day or Easter…both of which are quickly approaching! […]

Poppies With Love
Just stopping by quickly today to wish everyone a Happy New Year and share a clean and simple card I made by watercoloring with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens. This gorgeous bunch of flowers is a Sheena Douglass image called “Poppies“. I stamped it on some Crafter’s Companion Watercolor Cardstock along with a sentiment from “Home from Home” in Versafine […]
Sparkly Florals Card
After weeks of Christmas cards and other holiday projects here on my blog, I really thought it was time for some bright and cheerful florals.

After stamping it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some Ultra Smooth […]

Sparkle and Shine Christmas Card

If you are scrambling to come up with a last minute card, this one comes together rather quickly because it incorporates simple techniques like watercoloring and die-cutting. […]
Watercolor Wild Roses Card
While I love the watercolor trend that has been going strong for so long, I tend to shy away from it. The looseness and imprecision can be really difficult for this math and science geek to embrace…but every once in a while, I like to force myself to try the things that scare me (or just […]
