Smile!

 Thinking of you makes me SMILE! 


This was a very fun card to put together! Sometimes you just gotta play with your stamp stash. I started by stamping the Flowers and Swirls Bold Print on watercolor paper to heat emboss it in White. I then watercolored the background with Key Lime Fizz and Blue Raspberry Reactive Inks. 


Now it's time to experiment! My latest obsesssion, if somehow you haven't noticed, is this Glitter Paste. It reminds me of my long-lost glitter paste love from Design Memory Craft (remember them?!). I decided to experiment by overlaying the Marbling Stencil over the watercolored piece, and spread glitter paste over. Yup - as expected - I love it!


I layered the dry embossed panel on Paradise and Kiwi Cardstocks, which were all die cut with Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies in varying sizes. The stamped sentiment and "smile" die cut are from the Smile Friend Stamp and Cut XL set.

If you want to see the glitter paste in motion, check out this instagram post.

Happy Spring Bunny + Video

I know a lot of people aren't fans of Daylight Savings, but for me it's one of the best days of the year! More sunlight in my evening makes me very very happy. And it's kind of the unofficial start of Spring. I couldn't help but be inspired and create this springtime bunny card (and a video!).



The tutorial video is available - Click to watch!




I used a lot of new Spring 2024 releases from Hero Arts to put together this sweet bunny card. Thanks for watching!

March My Monthly Hero Kit RELEASE DAY!

 The day has arrived! The March Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit is truly a work of art. Be sure to visit all the blogs for amazing inspiration, and leave a comment for a chance to win a $50 Hero Arts gift card! You have until March 10th at 11:59pm PST to leave your comments for a chance to win.


Today's kit card features the Classic Kit for March. I really wanted to use the brightest inks I could to make a neon looking card with these tranquil peaceful images. This beautiful layered stamp uses the following inks: Paradise and Bermuda for the water, Kiwi and Fresh Lawn for the mountains, Ultra Pink for the sun, and Nautical for the silhouette images. I paired this with an Ultra Pink Cardstock base to make the pink pop!


You definitely don't want to miss out on this stunning kit. You can buy it todaaayyy woohoo!

There are also several gorgeous new releases. I was instantly drawn to the Crane Wishes stamp and die set. I used it in a different way to color the image so it looked like a Great Blue Heron (these birds are very near and dear to my heart!)...


All of the images were stamped with Intense Black Ink on Deluxe Smooth Cardstock. I colored the images with my Polychromos Pencils. To create the background, I stamped the Origami Paper Bold Print in Granite and Dusty Blue inks. I then die cut the Cherry Blossom Cover Plate and glued all the pieces together for the finished scene.


Enjoy the rest of the blog hop!
