Today I was inspired to try my hand at a holiday watercolor card. Debby Hughes is the master at watercoloring a scene, and she made a glorious card to show us her technique. Here, I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolor my scene. I adore this Stamping Bella image…so cute! That carrot […]

Merry Making Class Day 4
I’m back with a great card using all die cuts, inspired by Nichol Spohr! Ok, ok, there is ONE stamp on this card: the greeting! But other than that, this is mostly die cuts colored up with some Distress Inks. I love how it turned out! These are some new stamps and dies from Right […]
Merry Making Class Day 3
Hello! Today I was inspired again by Kristina Werner in the Merry Making Course. She showed us a method of using non-holiday stamps and coloring them up using holiday colors for a beautiful card. So I used a background stamp by Simon Says Stamp (Cora background). I thought it looked a little like a wreath. […]
Merry Making Class Day 2
Today Jennifer McGuire inspired me in the Online Card Classes Merry Making course. She showed us how to score a heavy weight paper (110# is best) and then stamp on top. It leaves a beautiful white line through the image. Here’s my take: See those scored lines? I think this looks even more beautiful in […]
Merry Making Class Day 1
I’m happy to be joining in on the Online Card Classes Merry Making course this month! Today, I was inspired by Kristina Werner. She taught us a bokeh technique using Distress Oxide inks and water. Simple, but so beautiful! Here’s my take on the project: I just love that little Arctic Fox looking up at […]
Day 6 Rainbow Copic Coloring
I was completely inspired by Kathy Racoosin on this card! She took a bundle of 3 flowers and drew a rainbow on them with a pencil, then she colored in each line with a rainbow color (across all the flowers)! Brilliant! Here is my attempt at this technique: Guess who needs green copic markers!?!? Yep, […]
Day 5: a Rainbow Burst Sky
I absolutely adored a card made by Jennifer McGuire in Rainbow Maker class today. I didn’t have any glitter embossing paste like she used, so instead I used a sparkly embossing powder. After I finished the rainbow background, I couldn’t bear to cover up the gorgeousness so I used vellum for my images. You can […]
Day 4: Watercolor Smooshing
Today was a great day for the Rainbow Maker Class! I wanted to make every single card that was taught, and I probably still will. But for now I have an Ink Smooshing card inspired by Laura Bassen. I heat embossed the sentiment (from Reverse Confetti) with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. It is difficult […]
Day 3: Rainbow Die Cuts (Part 6)
And….here’s the final card for Day 3 of Rainbow Maker (I think…) Lol. This is the remaining piece from making this card. I covered the “hugs” die with glossy accents so it’s nice and shiny in real life. Hope you enjoy! Supplies Used: Neat & Tangled triangle die Simon Says Stamp Hugs die Waffle Flower […]
Day 3: Rainbow Die Cuts (Part 5)
Well, I couldn’t resist. I had so much fun on Day 3 of Rainbow Maker and I had to make ANOTHER card (or two!) Lol. This time I was inspired by May Park and I made this card using a Neat & Tangled die: Of course, when I made it, I had a separate piece […]
