Night Sky Friendship Greeting Card

By on March 28, 2018

The technique is the same and I am using bright vibrant colors that blend really well. You, of course, can use your regular watercolor sets. Let me know how your Night Sky greeting cards turn out, don’t forget to tag me in your Instagram posts! I would love to see your work.

Water Brushes Review

By on February 12, 2018

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!

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
