Hi, crafty friends. I’m wrapping up stencil week with a stencil stamping technique to get a reverse look… I inked up the back of THIS stencil with THIS and THIS ink. I sprayed water and flipped it over and laid it on a piece of THIS card stock, similar to when you ink up a stamp, flip it over, and apply pressure. After lifting the stencil, I dried it with THIS heat tool. I...
Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card share is one I made for my hubby for Valentine’s Day… THIS cute couple image from Rabbit Hole Designs was so fun to color. I colored it with Copic Markers to resemble us. For the background, I silver heat embossed THIS background image on to THIS watercolor card stock. I applied a variety of Distress Oxide inks to a piece of acetate and sprayed it with water. I laid...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m honored to be part of the Diecember Blog Hop in celebration of THIS new release and all things die-cutting. For the first card, I die-cut THIS new die from THIS card stock as well as THIS and THIS card stock for the paintbrush. For the paint palettes, I dipped the die-cut circles in a variety of Distress Oxide colors mixed with a bit of water. Since there was some ink...
Howdy, crafty friends. THIS new card kit from Simon Says Stamp is now available and I created a shaker card with some of the contents… I started by embossing a piece of THIS card stock using the embossing folder included in the kit. I applied a rainbow of distress ink on to THIS work surface and sprayed water to create watercolor. I taped down the piece to a hard board using THIS tape. I painted...
Hello, crafty friends. Picket Fence Studios has a new release HERE and I’ve created a couple projects using some of the new goodies. First up are some Halloween tags… I stamped THESE adorable little trick-or-treaters and colored them in using THESE markers. I used THESE coordinating dies to cut them out and adhered them to tags that I inked up with THIS stencil and THIS ink to create a spooky back drop. Each tag...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m back with even more inspiration using the new release from Simon Says Stamp, which you can find HERE. I created a set of birthday cards with THIS new stamp set. I’m a big fan of watercolor but struggle with it. I love the look of ink smooshing but wanted a more controlled look, so I applied the ink to a small acrylic block. I used a rainbow of Distress mini inks...
Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s card features a simple sentiment window… I started by applying THIS, THIS, and THIS Distress Oxide Inks using THESE brushes to a piece of THIS paper. I spritzed it with THIS sprayer and dried it with a heat gun. I stamped the large wildflower image from THIS stamp set along the bottom and stamped a coordinating sentiment from THIS stamp set above that. I die-cut the sentiment with one...
Hello, crafty friends. If you’re like me, you never have enough birthday cards on hand. I decided to make a bunch using THIS new release and share them all week long. Let’s kick off this party with two cards that feature a sentiment background… I like using multiple sentiments to create a text background. I laid out lots of birthday sentiments from THIS and THIS stamp set on a panel inside my MISTI. I...
Hi, crafty friends. Today’s card stretches the use of THIS alphabet die set… I really like alphabet sets because you can customize your sentiments or even use them on kid’s school projects. Instead of cutting apart the individual letters, I decided to keep the majority of them in tact and create a simple background. I ran the whole piece through my die-cut machine after inking up the panel with some Distress Oxide ink blending....

I added some of THIS on top of the balloon for some shine...
