And here’s the last rainbow die cut card I made with the negatives. This was way too pretty to let it go to waste, so I turned it into a fun cherry card: Sorry it’s a little hard to read, it says: “You’re all that and a cherry on top!” I have quite a bit […]

Day 2: Rainbow Stamping
Today in Rainbow Maker Class we explored rainbow stamping. I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire to make this card: Do you arrange your clothes by color in your closet? I definitely do, and I think that yellow dress needs to be in my size! Which color do you want? Smile, It will look good on you! […]
Nuvo Mousse Sea (Sparkle & Shine: Day 5)
I couldn’t resist this Seagull stamp set from MFT Stamps. So I thought it would be the perfect time to try them out with a Nuvo Mousse sea made with a stencil! I learned about Nuvo Mousse and how to use it from Online Card Classes: Sparkle & Shine. I had already purchased some in […]
Glitter Paste Background (Sparkle & Shine: Day 5)
Kristina Werner inspired me in her class on Glitter paste in the Online Card Classes: Sparkle & Shine. I loved how she made the transition in colors of glitter pastes. So I thought I’d give it a try. Lucky for me, I already had 3 colors of glitter paste by Bo Bunny. Here’s the background […]
Perfect Pearls Background (Sparkle & Shine: Day 4)
Confession: This is the first time I have ever used Perfect Pearls. I got a couple colors to try out just for this Online Card Class, Sparkle & Shine. I used a stencil to cover the paper, then added VersaMark ink. Then I applied Perfect Pearls with a paintbrush. Wow! The background turned out so […]
Adding Liquid Sunshine/Rain (Sparkle & Shine: Day 3)
In Day 3 Online Card Classes: Sparkle & Shine, we learned more about liquid applications. One of the classes taught us about making rain and raindrops on our project. I was intrigued by adding colored pencil to the raindrop, then adding glossy accents to the rain. I tried that technique on my project here: I […]
Adding Foil to a Sentiment (Sparkle & Shine: Day 2)
I love the idea of adding foil to my cards! So when I saw that Day 2 was all about foiling I was very excited! But then I found that, while I had a lot of foil in my collection, I didn’t have a lot of WAYS to add my foil to my projects. But […]
Adding shadows to Glitter Paper (Sparkle & Shine: Day 1)
Another technique from the Online Card Class, Sparkle & Shine is to add color to pre-made glitter paper. I tried adding a gray shadow to silver glitter paper. I thought it looked really pretty, but so subtle in real life. So I kept adding more & more gray. In this picture it looks a lot […]
Snowflakes!
This card is for the Holiday Online Card Class soft and subtle cards. I used distress inks as watercolor (that twisted citron is a new favorite) behind those snowflakes. That snowflake die is from Simon Says Stamp “Eliza” and it’s one of my favorites, too! I used some glitter embossing powder on the snowflake and […]
Tis the Season to be Jolly
Well, this card was a bunch of firsts for me. A first with all that masking (thanks to Laura Bassen), and a first using EMBOSSING PASTE!! Wow. I might just be addicted to adding embossing paste. I need to play with this more. Isn’t this card fun? I used the gnome from Paper Smooches and […]
