My Favorite Things~Jungle Gym

Hey everyone!  Today I'm sharing a window card I made featuring the Jungle Gym stamp set from My Favorite Things!  To make this card, I first stamped all of the images with VersaFine pigment ink onto Canson Watercolor paper.  This is my ink of choice when I use watercolors.  I used Prima Confections Watercolors Classics set, as well as the Tropicals to paint all of my images quickly.  Then I cut a window out of my card base and began using the coordinating dies to cut out all of my images.   I then used Distress Oxide inks to blend my background for my card and die cut the window in the card panel.  I assembled the card, and I think those images are so cute!  I'm also sharing the quick cards I made with the rest of the images I watercolored.  Such fun cards!  I also have a video tutorial if you would like to watch it:

Thanks so much for joining me!!!

Altenew Beautiful Day

Hey everyone!  Today I'm sharing a tutorial featuring the Beautiful Day stamp set from Altenew, on YouTube and here on my blog!  I painted all of the flower arrangement with Finetec watercolors, so the colors change in different light.  This was an easy card to make!  I masked off the flowers and stamped the arrangement.  Then I heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder.  This is my cheater way to watercolor, as it helps me stay in the lines easier.  Then I watercolored all of the images, and the colors are beautiful!  Links are provided below!

Altenew Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

Hey everyone!  Today I'm sharing a quick and easy card featuring the Under the Cherry Blossom Tree stamps and dies, from Altenew!  To make this card I stamped the cherry branches with VersaMark ink, and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder.  I did this several times to create the branches.  I used the coordinating dies to cut out the cherry blossoms out of acetate to use as my masks.  Why didn't I think of this before?!?  I could see exactly where the mask was, so there were no gaps!  Then I colored all of the images with Prismacolor colored pencils.  Quick and easy!  I did make a YouTube video, if you would like to watch!  Supplies are linked below this post.

Wplus9 Little Dreamer

Hey everyone!  Today I'm sharing an easy watercolor card featuring Little Dreamers stamp and dies from Wplus9.  If you saw any of my haul videos lately, you know I have been obsessed with watercolors!  Today I am sharing how fun it is to play this inexpensive watercolor set from Prima.  To make this card I used watercolors to make the starry night sky background, as well as to paint the images to look soft and cuddly.  I also had to make some splatters of pearly white and gold with my Finetec Pearl Colors.  I have a card tutorial on YouTube if you would like to watch!

Happy Hippos Celebrate~My Favorite Things

Hey everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using the adorable new stamp set from My Favorite Things, Happy Hippos!  This was a easy shaker card using some new dies from MFT as well.  To make this card I colored my images with Copic markers.  Then I cut out the dies from Bristol Smooth cardstock, and used Distress Oxide Inks to color the die cuts.  I cut out the star out of Neenah 100 lb cardstock and added the shaker pouch.  Then I adhered all the pieces to my card panel.  I have a process video on my YouTube video, if you would like to check that out!  I have coupon codes and store links located at the bottom of this post.

Red, White, and Anything but Blue!

Hey everyone!  The Blog Hops with Heart have a fun theme this month!  We are all sharing a project that is red, white and anything but blue!  If you came from Kelly's magical blog post, you are in the right place.  I love a color challenge, especially when I love the colors!

I was excited to play with my new Happy Hippos stamp set from MFT.  I really wanted to put a cute skirt on the girl hippo.  I was actually inspired by some vellum paper with little gold dots all over it from CTMH...but after looking all through my craft room, I couldn't find it.  But, this was a super simple one layer card that I colored with Copic markers.  I also used the banner from the Up in the Air stamp set from MFT, as well.

Now you are off to see what Wendy's Blog has in store for you!

Thanks for joining me!!!

Lawn Fawn Out of this World~Finetec Galaxy Background

Hey everyone!  I'm so excited to show you more fun cards I've made with my latest obsession...watercolors!  These are completely new to me, but I'm loving it so much!  I've been wanting to play with the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, so it was perfect when I saw the theme was watercoloring!  If you've seen any of my latest YouTube videos...you already know how much I love my new Finetec watercolors.  I decided to finally make a card with the Lawn Fawn Out of this World stamp set, and a few more stamp sets as always.  I will have everything linked below this post, to the discount shops that are my favorites.  I started out my creating a galaxy background using the Finetec watercolors, so much fun!  Then I also watercolored the stamped images with the Finetec paints also.  I added dots of gold to the planets for extra detail.  Then I used the dies to cut out extra images, and popped the puppy and astronaut up on foam tape.  I put acetate behind their helmets, to make them look even more fun.  This card was so fun to make, I hope you try out watercoloring soon!

Thank you for all the requests for a tutorial!  I have a video on my YouTube channel now:
