 Hello Everyone! For my design team project with Birch Press Design I chose to use a no line coloring technique to color these beautiful images from the Grateful Leaf Frame Stamp Set! I stamped my images using a light colored ink and then started coloring my leaves using shades of greens and browns. Chose the perfect sentiments for my focal point and set my panel onto a 5 1/2 inch x 6 inch side folding card base.

We are all (ok, you all) getting ready for our card making production lines fort he upcoming Holiday Season! I wait until the last minute! ....always! So while I was deciding my design team project for Rubber Stamp Tapestry I just saw something in this peg stamp set that would become more! So I quickly pulled the Poinsettia Twist Peg Stamp Set and saw it become a more Spring/ Summer Card. All it took was to change the ink colors for the flowers! How simple is that!!!!

Be Inspired, ENJOY, LAUGH and ALWAYS BE CREATIVE! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! Today I am going to show you how I swatched out my Prismacolor Alcohol Markers! These markers are wonderful, however the numbering system they have on each markers makes no sense and there is no color chart that shows any possible blends that can be used to create! So we make our own! LOL This is a long process, and probably because the way I chose to do this, but I think in the end it is well worth it! I even sighed when I was done! TIPS - Make sure you use the paper you will use your alcohol markers on! This way you will have the true color of the markers. AND Use natural light or light bulbs for the true color as well when you are matching them up! Prismacolor Alcohol Marker Color Chart PrintOuts...
NOTE - when you print these documents you will not see the colors colored in. These charts are just listing the numbers of the markers so you can fill them in as you get your collection...

Be Inspired, ENJOY, LAUGH and ALWAYS BE CREATIVE! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! In a previous post I had taken the leap to try making a Bridge Card, yes very much inspired by Jennifer McGuire! ...and I loved the outcome! But I saw that I was using all of those gadgets that we have collected... so I thought..... Lets make them but this time only using pattern paper! So Episode 12 of our Simplicity Series was created, LOL... Dig into those stashes of pattern paper and get to cuttin'... Want to give these are try? Here are the dimensions for your card base to cut!Portrait Card Base: Cut your card stock 5 3/4 inches (wide) x 5 1/2 inches (tall) and then you will score along the 5 3/4 inch side at 3/4 inches and then at 1 1/2 inches - turn your card stock and score the opposite end in the same manner Landscape Card Base: Cut your card stock 8 inches (wide) x 4 1/4 inches (tall) and then you will score along the 8 inch side at 1 1/4 inches and then at 2 1/2 inches - turn your card stock and score the opposite end in the same manner For more crafty details as well as a list of supplies used for this project, click on the video below!

Be Inspired, ENJOY, LAUGH and ALWAYS BE CREATIVE! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! I am here today with Fun Stamper Journey and Spellbinders creating something a little different than previous kits. For today's project let's create a Flip Book! Flip Books are a great way to capture those memories and it looks great on a shelf! To put this together I used the Fun Stampers Journey Flip Book Steel Rule Die in my Spellbinders Platinum Die Cutting Machine. After my pieces were cut out I started to assemble my Flip Book using liquid adhesive. I used the Stamp of the Month Kit (coordinating dies available separately), to embellished my book and then colored my images using the FSJ Color Burst Colored Pencil Set! Used 1 1/2 inch rings to bind my book and added ribbon tied in knots! Here is how you can get your kit TODAY!!! along with a little bit of inspiration to get you started...

Be Inspired, ENJOY, LAUGH and ALWAYS BE CREATIVE! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! I am here today with Spellbinders and their Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month... For today's project let's create a faux die cut inlay technique... I love die cutting and paper piecing sections of the die back together... but sometimes there are just many pieces and it could take forever and a day to complete, LOL... and we all know usually we are pressed for time to create a card because we all wait until the last minute, right? With this technique, we can use the die itself and our die cutting machine to create the impression of the die... For today I made two examples, the first with just card stock and the other using a watercolor background... This die is a nice size and will fill a 5 inch x 7 inch card base!

Be Inspired, ENJOY, LAUGH and ALWAYS BE CREATIVE! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! I am here with Rubber Stamp Tapestry, and today we are going to create our own pattern paper background! The peg stamp I chose for today's project is called Color Me Beautiful and it is perfect if you love to color your images... I used my Gina K Amalgam Black ink to stamp my flowers and then chose some mini ink cubes for the greens and small flowers and just had fun stamping around my card stock to make sure it was filled in. I then grabbed my Watercolor Brush Marker and pen and colored my flowers in making sure to drag the color within the area. Once ,my panel was dry I used a plan card stock for a mat and adhered it to my Standard A2 size top folding card base. I die cut my sentiment five times to create a chip board piece and once in place I used my spectrum noir sparkle pen and Nuvo crystal glaze to highlight my sentiment!
