Christmas Bird

It’s getting close to Christmas, and I’ve created quite a few cards. Some I’ll share, and some I won’t. These two are a couple of my favorites. I love the black and red together, and it’s so different than a traditional Christmas card. For the background I used the Festive Greenery embossing folder and theContinue reading “Christmas Bird”

Keeping it Simple

I created this card during my regularly scheduled, Saturday crafting class, which are always amazing! I will admit, I don’t think I’ve utilized this beautiful stamp set enough. While most of my other classmates were using a different flower set, I pulled this one and knew I wanted a light and soft card. With theContinue reading “Keeping it Simple”

Sunflower Easel Card

Hello, all. I’ve got another easel card here, and I’m loving it! I also love how the stamped impressions in white look beautiful on the beige cardstock. Altenew’s Dancing Sunflowers are so beautiful and big – just one takes up most of the panel. I incorporated some additional leaves and pulled out my copics toContinue reading “Sunflower Easel Card”

Sometimes the Stamp Does Make the Card

The title to this post is accurate. I am still in love with this stamp set, and who wouldn’t be? This is a rhetorical question. 😁 You really can’t go wrong with this stamp set. Even a basic black impression, without any color, is beautiful. I created this card with my favorite sentiment, so youContinue reading “Sometimes the Stamp Does Make the Card”

Flower Wreath With Die Cuts

I purchased this die set on a whim. It wasn’t something I had on my wish list, or ever took a second look at. But, I saw it and thought, ‘I can do something with that.’ As always, I was inspired by a challenge at Tic Tac Toe. I was looking at their challenge andContinue reading “Flower Wreath With Die Cuts”

Alcohol Inks With Layering Die Set

Oh my goodness! This card was so much fun to make. This card was inspired by Altenew’s November’s challenge. I went way outside the box on this one. I used alcohol inks for everything except the sentiment. I wanted to do the splatter/drip that I’ve done with dye inks, but while using alcohol inks. ItContinue reading “Alcohol Inks With Layering Die Set”

Die Cut Flower Ink Blending

Honestly, I think I need to rename my blog, as many of my best card panels are from challenges. 😁 Altenew selected me as one of the winners of October’s challenge. 😁 I struggled a bit with the background, as it just wasn’t right. I wasted about 3 other panels before I decided to useContinue reading “Die Cut Flower Ink Blending”
