Hi! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought I would create a clean and simple card just for that! I used Waffle Flower Craft's Tribal Bear Stamp Set along with Holiday Words Die for this card:
There is also a video to accompany this card. Pop over to the Waffle Flower Crafts blog today to check it out!
Hello! Hope your Wednesday is going well! I am spending my day with my family at the beach. That might have been what inspired today's card! There is also a video of how to make it up on the Waffle Flower Crafts Blog and Youtube Channel for this week's Watch It Wednesday segment :) I used the lovely Faye from the Little Mermaids Stamp Set to create this card:
Happy Wednesday! I though I'd pop on early this morning and share a card I made for this week's Watch It Wednesday series for Waffle Flower Crafts! You'll have to pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog to check out the video but here is a look at the card I made:
I went for a fun, layered look with this one! I used the Sketchy Numbers Stamp Set along with the Lacy Layers Die to create my card along with some fun new embellishments from my stash.
I created a layered background that peeks through the vellum and heat embossed the focal image with white embossing powder.
Hope you enjoy the video! I am hoping to get a few cards made this afternoon :) There are only a few errands on my list today- including a trip to the craft store! Fun Fun Fun!
Hello! I have a Watch It Wednesday video up on the Waffle Flower Crafts Blog today! Pop over there to check it out- I went with a fun, imperfect, mixed media look. :)
Be sure to pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog to see this technique in action! It is pretty easy and not too messy either! A great way to jump into the mixed media look :)
Hello! I am sharing a video about this simple layered stamping technique on the Waffle Flower Crafts blog today! It is simple and may not have warranted a video but sometimes it's easy to forget just how simple techniques can be! They don't all need to take a half an hour to do, right? :)
I have a cute card to share with you today! It features adorable Claire the monkey from Waffle Flower Crafts...
I was in the mood for some watercoloring when I made this one! It' such a carefree way to color images and mistakes never look as bad as in watercolor- it's like it was meant to be lol!
I used Kuretake watercolors. The papers are from Lawn Fawn. And the stamps and dies are by Waffle Flower. Here is a closer look:
And since it's Watch It Wednesday on the Waffle Flower Blog, here is a video of the process too!
I really enjoyed making this one! Thanks for stopping by today!
The tiny size was so fun to create on! The tall succulent stamp from the Planted Stamp Set fit perfectly! I used all sorts of fun supplies for this one! It has lots of layers and different textures going on. Here is a look at the details:
I created a video as I went to document the step-by-step process as well:
I am really enjoying the mixed media projects this month! It's always fun to try something different, right? :)
How is it Monday again already? I meant to post this last week but the time got away with me! It seems that April is our busiest month of the year and many of the most anticipated days were last week! Funny how things end up happening all at the same time, isn't it? This week is almost as busy but it's all fun!
Anyways, I am excited to announce the winner for the Circle Flower Die Set from Waffle Flower Crafts is Denise Bryant! I hope you'll love the dies as much as I do! :)
I was in need of a pretty wedding card over the weekend and created this just for the happy couple. Lots of white and texture going on! I chose the Doily Square Die, Gemstone Stamp Set, and Doily Square Stamp Set to work with on this one. Here's a closer look at the details:
Alright! Hope your week is off to a great start! I hope I'll find some time to share some other things this week, too- I have a pile of cards just waiting to show you!
Hello! I have been off the radar for a few days haven't I? Not on purpose :) January was pretty busy and it's looking like February will be too! My crafty time has been cut down a little and I guess it shows...
I'm glad I have time to share this morning- I have a fun project up on the Waffle Flower Crafts Blog as part of their Silly Valentine's Week! I was inspired by my daughters' love for glow-in-the-dark stars to create Valentine's Day treats featuring them for their friends:
I split a large package of stars up for 3 treat bags. I packaged them up in some embossed vellum bags from SRM:
I created a video to show how I made the galaxy background:
I am trying to do more videos this year. I learn something new every time I make one! This time I learned that the craft mat makes an awful background. Sorry!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Don't forget to pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog to see all the fun Valentine's projects the team made this week!
Hello! I have a Newton's Know-how up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today. I thought I'd share it with you here today too! It features a fun watercoloring technique and one of my favorite new stamp sets, Flirty Flamingos:
I started with a kraft card base and splattered gray ink all over it. I added a piece of coral striped patterned paper from the Teresa Collins Designs Something Wonderful 6x6 pad to the card front. Next, I diecut a piece of watercolor paper into with a journaling card shaped die by Taylored Expressions. I stamped the flamingo and sentiment with Jet Black Staz On ink.
Now comes the fun part!
I pulled out my favorite blue, coral, and yellow ink pads along with a bit of water in a cup. I also
pulled out a bunch of q-tips! Yep, that's what makes the great dotted look! :)
I took turns dotting colors onto my image until it was all filled in. I let layers dry and then added a little more for depth. I've made a video to show the technique a little better- enjoy!
I hope you try out this fun technique for yourself! I love the dotted look and can't wait to try it again soon!
Today was my day to post on the Teresa Collins Design Team Blog and I thought I'd share here, too! I used her new Memorabilia collection. It is so versatile and pretty and I loved working with it! I love the soft colors and the touch of gold. It really is perfect for every occasion! Here is my first card:
To make this card, I first created a card base with white cardstock. I covered the front with the arrow patterned paper (Snippets). Next I added a strip of the blue patterned paper ( Quatrefoil) and a bit of the pretty gold glittered scallop trim from the Border Strips. I tied a bit of twine around it and finished with a bow. The focal point is a card from the Die Cut Accessories sheet. I added it to my card using pop-dots for a 3-dimensional look. To finish the card, I added a few of the fun new Sequins as an accent to the left side of the card. Aren't they fun!
The second card I have to share would be perfect for a wedding or anniversary:
I started with a white cardbase and covered it with the striped patterned paper (Quotes). I added a panel of white cardstock to the right side of my card front. I then added the strips of blue on each side using one of the thinner Border Strips. I added a strip of the yellow pattered Decorative Tape to the background.
For my focal point, I used the smallest envelope from the Envelopes set. I die cut two hearts out of patterned paper (Quatrefoil, Quotes) and placed them inside the envelope. I popped up the blue one with pop-dots and embellished it with the pretty yellow epoxy dots. I hand wrote 'est. 2013' on the envelope and tied some twine around it for a finished look. I added it to my card front, just above the yellow tape using pop-dots for a more dimensional look.
My last card features the Memorabelia stamp set! I enjoyed making this one because it uses the chalkboard technique! It's one of my favorites! :)
I started with a sand colored card base and covered it with the collaged pattern paper (Damask). This paper was so pretty on it's own! I added a gold glittered strip from the Border Strips, trimming it down to the size I needed. Next, I added a blue label sticker to finish off the background.
I used the stamps to create my focal point. I chose a nice smooth finished black cardstock from my stash to work with. I stamped the damask image onto my cardstock with white pigment ink. I allowed it to dry for a few minutes and then dusted it with my Embossing Buddy. Next, I stamped the frame and hello stamps using my watermark ink, covered them in white embossing powder, and heat set them with an embossing gun. You can see the embossing powder gives a crisp white finish to those images. I cut around the frame next and then went around the edge with a sponge and white ink. I also dusted over parts of the front with the same sponge so it looks like you erased something.
I embellished my focal point with a gold-rimmed brad, a pretty gold sequin, and a chipboard button from the Decorative Buttons set. I finished it off with a twine bow and added the entire piece to my card front using pop-dots.
I filmed a quick video on how to create this stamped chalkboard look. It's so fun to do! Here's the video:
