Jessica Lynn Original

28 Oct

I spent some time today making two very different Christmas cards using two different Jessica Lynn Original stamps!  The first card uses her digital poinsettia stamp.  I actually enlarged the image before printing (one of the joys of digital stamps) and then placed a sheet of vellum over the printed ...

Fox-y cards, take two!

27 Oct

I'm still in love with the Avery Elle More Stories stamp set.  The fox is so adorable (and very versatile)!  After taking the Online Card Class for Copic Markers I'm feeling a little more comfortable with my coloring abilities so I colored both foxes with copics and then fussy cut them for each ...

Mama Elephant Peek-a-Frame

25 Oct

I recently discovered the company, Mama Elephant, and I LOVE their stamps and dies.  I'm also in the process of trying out their pigment inks...I'll share that experience later!  I've had this Peek-A-Frame die for awhile but hadn't gotten a chance to use it.  I decided to create a snowy shaker card. ...

More experiments with watercolors…

14 Oct

Okay, so these Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors might just be my favorite!  I still love the Peerless watercolors but these are SO easy to use!   I got the idea for this card from a post from Jennifer McGuire a few months ago.  I didn't have the Altenew Persian Motifs set at the time but I loved ...

Now here's a challenge I'm really excited about!  This week's Wednesday Challenge is to use watercolors in any way, shape, or form on a card!  It's a good thing that they limit you to only 5 entries otherwise I might not have left my craft room!  These are my first entries into the ... View Post

Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #183

12 Oct

This week's Papertrey Ink Make it Monday challenge was dry embossing over heat embossing.  I'd never tried it before but it's definitely a technique that I'll continue to experiment with!  I started off by stamping two butterflies from the PTI Beautiful Butterflies onto a piece of Neenah solar white ...

Brentwood Owl does Disney!

11 Oct

I finally had a chance to get back in my craft room and I started out with a card featuring a Brentwood Owl set from Jessica Lynn Original!  This is the Fairytale Peter, Wendy, and Tinkerbelle set although I decided to just use Peter and Tink (Wendy was always my least favorite character in the ...
