Handlettering Card, no Stamps

By 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.

~~~Supplies~~~
Patterned or coloured paper OR Watercolors & Watercolor paper
White gel pen Amazon (or the pen of your choice)

Cards | Special Technique

Use glitter with stencils

By 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 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

Stamp with Water

By on January 17, 2018

Stamp using water! It’s backward day! We are stamping water into the inked page instead of inking up the stamps. It is fun and easy and gives you a really beautiful effect. I discovered this by accident and I have been experiencing with it ever since. All you really need is an ink pad (or re-inkers) and water. Please feel free to leave any questions or comments about this fun new technique below.

Tape Masking techniques

By on January 15, 2018

When masking with tape on cardstock you are going to find it will tear the paper and cause problems for you. Most of us use washi tape which doesn’t do a great job. I have the answer for you! Use scotch tape and double sided tape with this simple trick to make your life sooo much easier!

~~~ Supplies~~~

Ink Pads (Early Espresso) Stampin Up
Ink Refills (Bermuda Bay, Elegant Eggplant, Cherry Cobler, Crushed Curry) Stampin Up
Scotch Tape (no paper or tissue tape)
Double-sided tape
(with a removable backing is best)
Thinlet Die (no longer available for purchase) Stampin Up
Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack Stampin Up

Paint your embossing folder

By on January 10, 2018


I made this cute mermaid greeting card using mostly teal and purple because those are my favourite colors right now. It reminds me of Barney but what can you do! I only have one mermaid stamp that I have had for about 20 years. Proof that you don’t need a million stamps to make pretty cards.
