Monochromatic Watercolor (Galentine’s Day) – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2021 – Day 10
Hello, all! Today is Day 10 of the Valentine’s Day Card Series! For today’s card, I used the Gal Pal stamp set from Honey Bee to create a 5×7 watercolored card. I used a monochromatic color scheme for the main area of the card (the two women), and then added a pink background with red hearts.
Be sure to watch the video to see all the painting, including how I adapted my plan to make the greeting work.

How to Modify a Craft Die (Partial Die Cutting) – Valentine’s Day Card Series – Day 9
Happy Monday, all! Today’s cards for the Valentine’s Day Card Series feature the All the Love dies from Concord & 9th, plus lots of strips of colored cardstock.
Truth be told, I came up with the slimline card design before I realized that the large LOVE die from Concord & 9th wasn’t not in fact two separate dies. It was one solid die! But I really wanted to create a slimline card, so I tried a partial die cutting technique by using a smaller 3×6 Gemini Go cutting plate. Be sure to watch the video to see how this technique works.
Enjoy!

The greeting is from the Love Greetings Mix stamp set from Simon. I also created my own DIY colored cardstock. Be sure to watch the replay to see how that was created!

Glitter Watercolor?! Yes, please! Valentine’s Day Card Series – Day 7

Valentine’s Day Card Series 2021 – Day 6 – No-Line Watercoloring
Happy Monday! Today marks Day 6 of the Valentine’s Day Card Series, and today’s card features the Milkshake stamp set from Mama Elephant. I love doing the no-line watercoloring technique with Mama Elephant stamps, and then stamp was perfect!
No-line watercoloring is when the images are stamped in a light colored ink and then painted. The light lines appear to disappear once the images are colored, leaving behind what appears to be an illustrated image. It’s a super fun effect!
Enjoy!
