I have been itching to try a DIY melted crayons card. I finally got around to doing it and it turned out great, it is a perfect beginner DIY greeting card. It was loads of fun. I have so many crayons lying around from my old projects, so it’s nice to finally another project to use them for.

Handlettering Card, no Stamps

By tarryn on February 15, 2018

I love handlettering, it is so beautiful and it is so “in” right now. Paired with the dark watercolours, I think it really takes it to the next level. This is something that anyone can do! It’s fun, easy and fast! Nothing is more relaxing than doodling. One of my favourite cards.

Water Brushes Review

By tarryn on

I see these water brush pens (aka Aqua Painters – as Stampin’ Up calls them) everywhere and I have been dying to try them. I love water colouring and I do it with a variety of mediums (Gelatos, watercolour pencils, watercolour crayons, watercolours, inks etc.) So logically I should really have one.. and now I do. I love them!

Use glitter with stencils

By tarryn on February 5, 2018

There are lots of expensive glitter pastes on the market these days but really who needs them when you can use plain old glitter and glitter glue to get the same gorgeous effect! I had a lot of fun and I will definitely be using this technique a lot in my cards and probably my art journal layouts too!

~~~Supplies~~~
Glitter (Dollar store)
Glitter Glue (Michaels & Amazon)
All purpose Glue
Stencils (dollar tree & Stampin up but there are some great ones on Amazon)

~~~I also used in my card design~~~
Quiller’s Paper Crimper Amazon
Coffee mugs and stamp (Stampin up, no longer available for purchase)
Emboss Powder Amazon
Heat Tool (for setting embossing powder – no, hairdryers don’t work): Amazon

Heat Emboss double-sided tape

By tarryn on January 30, 2018

I was thinking about how wonderful embossing powder is and it occurred to me that all you really need is something to stick it to! I thought this would be a fun experiment. This experiment turned out to make a beautiful card! I used my free set of thinlits I got from Stampin Up’s Sale-a-bration set: Celebrate You Thinlits. This was the first time I really got to experiment with these beautiful gold, silver and copper embossing powders I just purchased.

~~~Supplies~~~

Emboss Powder Amazon
Cardstock Amazon
Double Sided Tape (Michael’s or any craft or office supply store)
Heat Tool (for setting embossing powder – no, hairdryers don’t work): Amazon
