Snowdrop Shaker
The snowdrop plate is part of the January Set of Spellbinders Florals Through the Year Collection. So I created a snow-themed shaker card with it.
-
Chrysanthemum Cards
I associate chrysanthemums with cemeteries. So it was natural to use the Chrysanthemum Press Plates for sympathy cards.
-
Christmas Boutique
When I got this die set I felt kind of meh about it. But now that I’ve created a card with it, I think it’s super cute! It was fun to put together, too.
-
A Yeti Christmas
I’m now designing for Spellbinders. You know I love their products, so it’s a great fit for me!
-
Flamboyant Fall Wreath
The theme of this month’s YouTube hop was Out of My Comfort Zone. So I tried alcohol inks.
-
Felt Owl Friend
Felt on cards seems to be having a moment. I wanted to use it on an upcoming project, so this is a practice card.
-
Sepia Cauldron
I started by creating the shaker. For this I used the two cauldron dies in the Kat Scrappiness Witches Brew Die Set.
-
Green Craftmas
First I used my Pinkfresh Solid Hot Foil Plate with all the cool-toned leftover foil to make my own foiled cardstock.
-
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.
