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
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
Paisley is my hands-down favorite abstract pattern! So of course I needed the Glimmer Kit of the Month for June ‘22.
-
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
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
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!
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
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
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
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
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
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
I created these cards using Bibi Cameron’s Cheerful Kittens Die Set and leftover die cuts from recent projects.
-
Berry Best Friend
I created a strawberry card with gold accents.
-
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
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
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
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
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
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
My haul from Trinity Stamp’s Birthday Sale. I went mostly for Baby and Halloween products this time.
-
Paradise Birthday
Stamping with white pigment ink and heat embossing in white gives a wonderfully crisp and fresh result.

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.
