Watercolor Bloom Card
If you love the sometimes unpredictable nature of watercolor, then I have a fun new stamp set to share with you! The “Bloom” set from Crafter’s Companion debuted on HSN this month in a special watercolor bundle (still available here) and contains pretty hand-lettered sentiments and sketchy stems. These images were developed with the idea […]
Easter Egg Candy Dish
Every once in a while (when time permits), I really enjoy building complex three-dimensional pieces out of just paper and glue, like this Easter egg decor that doubles as a candy dish. But I’ve found that the key to constructing beautiful papercrafts is choosing high-quality and sturdy cardstock as your foundation, like the Curious Metallic […]
Copper Foiled Butterfly Card
The crafting world has gone mad for foiling, but what happens when you aren’t satisfied with the results you get with a cheap laminator and also don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a Minc? (For the record, I have both the cheap laminator and the Minc and use them frequently. 🙂 […]

Because 3D flowers…well, we all know I love them! […]
Springtime Lily Card From An Adult Coloring Page
Phew…I haven’t been so happy to see a Friday in a long time! Pardon my absence, but I was hunkered down in the craft room this week trying to meet all of my design team deadlines (three tutorials and 8 HSN 24-hour Craft Day samples). The good news is that I’ll have tons to share […]
Clematis in Watercolor
Last week, I shared a bright springtime card I created with this Clematis stamp that was colored with Spectrum Noir ColourBlend Pencils. After I finished working on that pencil piece, I decided to go back and stamp the image onto watercolor paper in Versafine Vintage Sepia ink and colored it with Spectrum Aqua markers as well. I ended up […]
