I’ve got another watercolor creation for you today! In my last post, I shared a detailed, layered approach to watercolor. Stamps are perfect for this technique. But, can you use your stamps to create loose, more expressive watercolors as well? Yes, yes you can! How about that?! I just love the way today’s cards turned…

Recently my family cruised the Baltic Sea, visiting six wonderful countries. I was inspired by so many beautiful and brightly painted homes and buildings that I decided I wanted to do the same on my card today. The newly released Neighbors stamp set was perfect! I think the homes in this set are so charming.…

Hello! I wanted to stop in and let you know that a spelling error on The Little Things stamp set has been brought to our attention. In the sentiment “May the kindness you spread keep returning to you.”, “kindness” incorrectly reads “kindess”. Unfortunately, our manufacturer is currently closed due to the Stay At Home orders.…

Happy Wednesday friends - hope you are having a great week! Have you seen these Square Confetti Cuts (links below) from Reverse Confetti? So cool; they make a perfectly square 4.25" card OR you can layer it on to a larger size card...or make a tag...the possibilities are endless. I wanted to keep mine very CAS yet colorful. I had created a couple watercolor panels last weekend (you know, smoosh some distress colors down, add some water and dip your paper in) and put them aside to dry; I thought it would be a perfect backdrop to a clean white card. I cut 3 layers of the THANKS Square Confetti Cut, sponged on some yellow on the bottom of the 'thanks', added glossy accents then layered them together. I stamped and embossed some WPlus9 Modern Peony images to add some interest, adhered the stacked panel to the watercolor panel and then to a top folding 4.25" square note card - quick and simple! Thanks for stopping by; hope you have a GREAT week! Hugs! WHAT'S IT TAKE? Stamps: WPlus9 Modern Peonies Papers: Neenah 80 lb. white, Ranger distress water color Ink: Distress Inks Accessories: white embossing powder, glossy accents Challenges:
Hello friends! I am back to sharing unique DIY patterns you can create using your stamps. This time I was inspired by a fun image I spotted on Pinterest (I share it below) and decided to try coloring one of the leaves from the Autumn Leaves set from WPlus9 in gorgeous blues. I pulled out
