5 Cards - 1 Kit | Tonic Studios Craft Kit No.7 2018

3/28/2018

Picture
Hello Everyone!

Let's Create some cards using the Tonic Studios Craft Kit No.7!  This kit was filled with the most gorgeous and delicate frame dies I have seen!  Just because a die is called a frame die does not mean it has to be used a s a frame!  Here you can see panels, frames and even petals!  So lets take a look at each of the cards!
Picture
One of the products in the kit was their new release of their shimmer powder! - yes I will own every one!  LOL, added some alcohol marker shading and we have a card!

Take a die and make it your own!  I used one of the frame dies as a petal border and colored using the Nuvo mousse!  Expand your stash to the next level....

Picture
Picture
And why does a card have to lay flat and simply open, make an easel card!  This would sure to be on someone's desk or shelf to make them smile!

Scrapping for Less Design Team Project | Sunny Studio Stamps!

Hello Everyone!
 
I am here with my first project for Scrapping for Less as a Design Team Member!  The Sunny Studios Bold Balloons is the perfect fit for my card, because let’s face it…  there is a CELEBRATION going on, YAY!  This stamp set is set up to be used a three-part layered image, however I was drawn to the 2nd layer, to me it showed the shape of a mylar balloon!  So of course, that is what I went with and what could be better but use glitter embossing powders!
 
But what to do with an extra heart balloon?  You guessed it, we decorate the inside of the card as well!

Come see just how easy these cards were to make and click on the video below or go to my YouTube Channel to see what other videos are available to watch, but most of all ENJOY!

Watercolor the Geraniums! | Featuring Peg Stamps...

3/19/2018

Hello Everyone!

I love the watercolor look but in my opinion I cannot watercolor a lick!  That does not mean I will not keep trying and practicing....  

But when I want a card to have the look of watercolor I tend to pull out my peg stamps!  In the recent release by Rubber Stamp Tapestry, there were two sets of geranium stamps - Red Geranium and Cottage Geraniums.  I pulled them out immediately!
The inks used were my Distress Inks...  these are perfect for watercoloring!  After I stamped the images I went over them with an aqua brush to move the ink around remembering to not be precise!  

I think the final card came out great!

10 Cards - 2 Kits | Simon Says Stamp & Hero Arts MERGER! | Part 1

Hello Everyone!

OK, so a couple of my subscribers suggested I merge the Simon Says Stamp March and the Hero Arts February 2018 Card Kits!  I am always up for a challenge and let me admit….  This was a challenge! 

Now I must first apologize because I was supposed to make 15 cards, however due to time constraints, I had to change it to 10 Cards, SORRY!  But anywho here are the first 5 cards from the merging of these two card kits!!!
Picture

​Taking these two kits together did provide for many options..  For the first two cards I used the stickers as the focal point and pattern paper to accent the background.

Picture

​Got to do a little bit of water coloring or lets say a watercolor 'look' technique!  LOL  I love feathers and the distress ink were calling me to be used...  I Just had to also watercolor the 'scribble' flowers'...

Picture
Picture
Picture

​Finally eggs all around!  I am horrible at using the ink cubes from Hero Arts!  It is a wonderful product but for some reason I can never get a solid crisp image...  So these were perfect for the effect I was looking for! We make it all work during our trial and errors!  LOL....

Come see just how easy these cards were to make and click on the video below and ENJOY!

Hello Everyone!

The past two weeks have absolutely been crazy and exciting!  If you have been watching my videos you know what I am referring to!  YAY!  

Here is Part 2 from the Simon Says Stamp February 2018 Card Kit!

As I looked over these cards when I completed this series, I saw many were completed with a watercolor effect...  Sometimes when we look over what we have created we can see what we like and what we don't!

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin for February 2018

3/12/2018

Hello Everyone!

Here is the February Edition for Stampin' Ups! Paper Pumpkin Card Kit!  This kit was jammed packed with everything you needed to complete 9 cards total with 3 different designs!  This creation was ingenious, because with how they made the die cuts and stickers you could actually make 18 cards total, just dig into that stash and add some embellishments!
Picture
​Now for yet another announcement!  I have decided to let go of my “Demonstrator” Status with Stampin’ Up!  It has nothing to do with the company in any way!  There products are the highest quality and their customer service is like no other!  I have the most respect for this company and I will continue to promote them and their products! However, there are some movements I will be making and finalizing in the next week or so and I feel and believe it goes against their terms of being a demonstrator, so the decision was pondered for a while and finally made…  I will still continue to receive this Paper Pumpkin Subscription for the time being and completing the videos!  For those of you that have subscribed, now there is no stress, you will just be transferred over to Wendy, my original demonstrator, and you will love her! Of course, I will have her details down below for any orders or subscriptions you would like to make! 

Psst, she gives awesome freebies sometimes!

If you are interested in this monthly subscription, the link below is to Wendy’s web page to sign up!  Along with all of her other links to spend, spend and spend!  LOL

ARTEZA! | Product Review and Demo!

Hello Everyone!

Here is something different for today!  I was recently approached by ARTEZA art supply to review and demo their products.  I took sometime to think about it and let them know I would do it and told them the details about my Business...

They sent me the two products shown above!
The 12 set of Real Brush Markers, I compared to the Zig Real Brush Markers...  We got swatches, blending and paper and went to town to see what these pens could really do...
Picture
Picture
For the Fineliners I was skeptical, I have to be honest, but then saw 'water based ink', hummmmm...
Used a Penny Black Floral Stamp that could really showcase just what these pens could do for us crafters!...

Want to see just how these work and if they benefit your craft world?  Just CLICK on the video below and see!

    Since about the time I spoke my first word, I’ve been an avid crafter alongside my mom and sister. You name the craft and I’ve probably made it and collected it. I simply find so much joy in working with my hands and seeing a happy customer with one of my creations. There’s nothing better! But I also love helping people become stronger and seeing them find THEIR happy through THEIR creations.​
