Hello Everyone!

We are back showing the Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Card Kit for January 2018!  I think this month is absolutely adorable!  From the papers to the card base designs... but I may be partial since I love black and copper...LOL...

As always we created what the actual project is and then I added my alternative using items out of the kit, plus some extras from my stash.

Hello Everyone!

We back with another 10 Cards - 1 Kit Series featuring My Monthly Hero Arts Card Kit for January 2018!  When I first looked at this kit I kinda tilted my head in curiosity...  But once I started creating some cards, they just developed on their own!

Hello Everyone!

I am back with another simple card that can use any supplies you already have in your stash!

However, I had to have this pearl watercolor from Blick Art Supplies, and I am so glad I gave into temptation.

​...what was even better I got to play around with my QoR Watercolors.  had them for so long and never used them!  It is amazing what we find when we clean, LOL...

OK onto the cards...  The stamp set is from Joy Clair and it is called 'Hugs and Smiles'. I immediately was drawn to it for the large scribble floral pattern and then the font the sentiments are in...

Hello Everyone!
 
Let's get out of our comfort zone just a little bit! 

​I love Mix Media and just messing around in the craft room…  We all get blocked from time to time and when you kinda put yourself on a schedule it can happen very quickly!  So to clear my head I dig into my stash and just slap something around on a piece of mix media paper!
 

​At some point I realized I must have been blocked often, because I had alot of Mix Media Background created...  

Back in the day I had taught some card making classes with a great bunch…  I supplied all the items to get the card made, they just brought their stamps and their ink…  So as I was gathering my paper supplies and found all these backgrounds I had made over a period of time, because yes I never throw anything away! I cut them up into card panels and brought them with me… Lets just say not many came back home with me and it became a tradition every quarter and the colors were based on the season… It was a lot of fun!

We may be bringing this back... hummmm  Let me know your thoughts!

But in the meantime, curious how these cards came together?  Just click on the video below or go to my YouTube channel to see this and many other videos...

Hello Everyone!

Back with a Get Well Card that will make anyone feel better the moment they receive it!

I was digging through my stash and found this terrific stamp set from Jillibean Soup called Get Well!  The moment I saw it I remembered a video that Vicki Papaioannou showed using band-aids and I got totally inspired to create one!

​I used Neenah Solar White 80# card stock for my base and colored images. I found the best die EVER by Penny Black called Vintage Frames that I though would be perfect and would resemble a boo-boo the band-aids could put back together!...  LOL

I even got to try out my Blick Studio alcohol markers and I think they are perfect for the crafter that is starting out or someone that is on a budget!  They worked perfectly!

Checkout  the video below to see just how I created this card and many other videos!

Hello Everyone!

​Simplicity – using basic supplies we all have in our stash and even just in our home!

We are only using the paper pad of our choice, scissors, ruler, and a pencil…  I’ll even show how you can use a simple craft knife if you are not comfortable with cutting with scissors.

Our focus here is to use what is in our stash of pattern paper and VERY minimal supplies...  and using only these items we can still create beautiful cards to be treasured!

​In the below video I will be showing how we can create cards with texture, but no stamps or embossing folders! I know still crazy, but it can be done…
