LIVE REPLAY – Creating THREE Easy Cards with Markers
Happy Friday! During my livestream today, I used the new Take Note stamp set and Big and Bold stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. I created three different cards, all using Copic markers.
LIVE REPLAY – Creating FIVE Cards with Simon’s Horizon Stencil & Stamps
Hi all! Today I hopped onto YouTube for an impromptu livestream. I played with the Horizon Line stencil and On the Horizon stamps from Simon Says Stamp.
Christmas in July! NEW Stamps from Colorado Craft Co. – Watercolor Backgrounds & No-Line Coloring
Happy Sunday, all! Today I’m so excited to share with you the latest release from Colorado Craft Company. It’s Christmas in July! Let’s jump into the video since I share the entire release (everything except the dies) at the start of the video. Then I’ll create four cards! See the entire release in the CCC shop HERE.
LIVE REPLAY – Creating a custom envelope
Happy Friday! Today I hopped on YouTube live to create a simple envelope design. I used the Birds and Twigs stencil from Studio Light to do some simple ink blending, and then added postage and Martha’s address.
Watercolor Painting with Distress Reinkers
NOTE: This post is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. Thanks, Simon!
For this card, I wanted to do some watercolor painting with Distress Reinkers. I love how concentrated and vibrant the colors are, especially Candied Apple since some red watercolor can fade back to a pink (this one doesn’t!)
Travel Crafting No. 4 – Painting on Black Watercolor Paper
Hi all! I’m a bit under the weather today so there will not be a weekly livestream. Instead, here’s the next installment in my Travel Crafting series.
For this card, I started out by white heat embossing the large heart image from the Love You Bunches stamp set on black watercolor paper. Then I painted the heart with Iuile Watercolor’s Christmas set. The background was made using the Polka Dot stencils from Honey Bee with Concord & 9th’s Dove ink.
Travel Crafting No. 3 – Colorful Gradient with Watercolor
Happy Wednesday, all! Today I have the second card I made while in Hawaii to share with you. This one is very similar to the first, but changed up a bit.
LIVE REPLAY – Heart Stencil Blended Balloons
Happy Friday, all! Today for my weekly livestream, I hopped onto YouTube and created a birthday card! I used the Layering Hearts stencils from Simon Says Stamp to create balloons, and added strings with a black pen. Then I used the It’s Your Birthday dies for the greeting.
Travel Crafting No. 2 – Colorful Watercolor
Hi, all! Today I have the first card I made while in Hawaii to share with you. This one turned out to be my favorite of all the cards I made while on vacation.
LIVE REPLAY – Creative Masking & Ink Blending
Hi all! For today’s livestream, I created a fun masked and ink blended background and stamped the large border image from Simon’s Garden Greetings on top. To see how this card was made, check out the replays below.
Travel Crafting No. 1 – What I brought to Hawaii for crafting
Hi, all! Happy Thursday! Just yesterday I returned from my vacation to Hawaii! My husband and I spent a wonderful ten days in Maui and it was amazing. Since the trip was so long, I knew I’d have some down time for crafting. I essentially packed items from my Capsule Papercrafting Challenge List, and then decided that I’ll be doing the challenge for 30 days. So I will continue the challenge after returning home (with the exception of a few things I already committed to, like a video for the Simon Says Stamp card kit).
I’ve done the Capsule Papercrafting Challenge twice before and both time it was a great “reset” for my creativity. Having a focused set of supplies really pushes me to come up with creative solutions.
