  • No Tricks

    No Tricks

    I started by stamping the two witches from Trinity Stamps Hocus Pocus Gnomes Stamp Set and coloring them with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers.

  • A Monster Study in Teal

    A Monster Study in Teal

    I’m still trying to reclaim Halloween tropes from the overdone, traditionally-discordant colors. Halloween cards can be tasteful, really!

  • For the Love of Paisley

    For the Love of Paisley

    Paisley is my hands-down favorite abstract pattern! So of course I needed the Glimmer Kit of the Month for June ‘22.

  • Blue Halloween

    Blue Halloween

    Today’s card is a watercolored Halloween card with a witchy little quokka. I’m starting by mixing the paint I need.

  • Dainty Ghost

    Dainty Ghost

    I glued the first vellum piece to the back of the pattern paper slightly offset, so it looks fuller. Next I glued the second vellum piece offset in the other direction to the back.

  • Birthday Quokka

    Birthday Quokka

    This is a pretty straightforward watercolored critter card. For my palette I was inspired by Palette 176 in the Color Cube volume 1.

  • Hello Pumpkin!

    Hello Pumpkin!

    The scene I was visualizing needed a frame of some sort. After browsing through my Spellbinders bin, I selected a die set called Essential Arches.

  • Reindeer Games

    Reindeer Games

    The reindeer images were stamped on Hammermill 100 lbs cardstock with brown alcohol-marker-friendly ink and I colored them with my Ohuhu markers.

  • Bountiful Quokkas

    Bountiful Quokkas

    These two little critters are the Kat Scrappiness Dress-Up Quokkas. The markers I’m using for them are Ohuhu BR3, BR2 and BR1. 

  • A Stitch in Time

    A Stitch in Time

    I’m not normally one for vertical writing, but I love the stitched texture of this die. It’s also great for stitching on the go.

  • Fabulous Boots

    Fabulous Boots

    I love the shape of the witch boots in the Kat Scrappiness Witches Brew Die Set, so I created a pattern from them.

  • Candy Cane Shaker

    Candy Cane Shaker

    After I was done, I had lots of leftover strips of red, pink and white glitter cardstock. I didn’t want to just recycle it, so I made a shaker card.

  • Empathetic Kittens

    Empathetic Kittens

    I created these cards using Bibi Cameron’s Cheerful Kittens Die Set and leftover die cuts from recent projects.

  • Berry Best Friend

    Berry Best Friend

    I created a strawberry card with gold accents.

  • Stencil All the Things

    Stencil All the Things

    My idea for this card is to create a floral wreath out of white cardstock and vellum. I’ve seen other designers do that and I always love the results!

  • Birthday Wreath

    Birthday Wreath

    Except for the berries, I cut everything out of colored cardstock at least twice. I also cut the wreath twice out of vellum.

  • Spoopy 💜 Season

    Spoopy 💜 Season

    The first thing I did when I got my influencer haul from Kat Scrappiness, was to play with the black glitter mousse and the Hats & Bats stencil.

  • First Influencer Haul

    First Influencer Haul

    These are the Kat Scrappiness products I bought to serve as a foundation for my fall and winter crafting as an official influencer of the brand.

  • Get Your Skates On

    Get Your Skates On

    The skates are really easy to put together, with no fiddly bits. There’s a base layer, that shows up as the tongue of the boot and part of the heel.

  • This is a Test Card

    This is a Test Card

    I really like when the color of the shaker bits and the frame match. I have a couple of confetti dies, but most of them are no-name brands.

  • Trinity July Haul

    Trinity July Haul

    My haul from Trinity Stamp’s Birthday Sale. I went mostly for Baby and Halloween products this time.

  • Paradise Birthday

    Paradise Birthday

    Stamping with white pigment ink and heat embossing in white gives a wonderfully crisp and fresh result.

  • Fintastic Sharks

    Fintastic Sharks

    The shark and friends are from a Lawn Fawn Stamp and Die Set called Shark Duh-Nuh Flip Flop. I colored them with my Distress Watercolor Pencils.
