I’ve always admired the style, but never actually tried to make a shabby chic card. When I saw the pretty new Rustic Cottage Collection from Crafter’s Companion (airing on HSN today for the 24hr Craft Event), I decided I had to give it a try though. Because 3D flowers…well, we all know I love them! […]
Spectrum Aqua
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 […]
Wintry Watercolor Moose Card
With just over a week until the big day, this will probably be the last Christmas card I post this year (but let’s try to look forward to Valentine’s Day!). I hadn’t spent much quality time with my Spectrum Aqua markers lately, so I pulled them out to color up this adorable moose image from the “Christmas […]
Christmas Bubble Stencil Card
Once Thanksgiving has come and gone, I can no longer control myself. You can hand me an Easter basket, pumpkin, and a pool noodle and I would need to find a way to make a Christmas project out of it. So when the new “Groovin’ 60s” stencils were released a bit ago, I couldn’t stop […]
Autumn Gift Bag
What is it about this time of year that makes gift-giving so much fun? Today I wanted to share a fall-inspired gift bag that would be perfect for a small gift or even a little Thanksgiving treat using adorable new(ish) stamps and dies from Pink & Main. Although I’m no longer a member of their design team, […]
Seaside Encouragement Card
Recently, a friend of mine fell upon some bad times and I thought she could use a little pick-me-up. We used to love going to the shore together, so I thought a nice girly, beach-y card would be right up her alley. I used one of the new Die’sire Card Base dies (“Emma”) being released […]
Silly Flamingo Bookmark
It seems like flamingos are everywhere right now and I couldn’t resist the trend for a quick crafty project in between emptying the still-ginormous mountain of moving boxes in my house (I can, however, ignore the pineapple trend…just not feeling that one). This little bookmark is a sneak peek at the new Verity Rose Papercrafting […]
Camouflaged Die-Cut Card
Sometimes you see a technique you want to try and it takes months and months for you to get to it…and that’s definitely what happened with this one! I have been admiring camouflaged sentiments on cards for so long, and when I saw this pretty “Hello Die” from Pink & Main, I decided it was […]
