Creating Framable Art for Earth Day!

Posted on May 4, 2020 by

“Earth Without Art is Just eh”

I love this saying, how about you? Sometimes when inspiration hits you need to just run with it and that’s what happened for me this past Earth Day.  I have always wanted to create some art for my craft space with this fun saying so I took the plunge and without overthinking things (for once) I whipped up this watercolor background and die cut letters ensemble.

Supplies I used for this project are listed below and you can watch a quick video of the creation process also.  Enjoy!

If you think that you can only use red for poppies, think again.  I challenged myself to think outside of the box and use color combinations other than Poppy Parade for these cards.  It’s not too late to register for class! Sign up now!

This fun Mini Album is made with one sheet of 12 x 12 cardstock and can be sent in the mail using a 4×6 envelope.

Beautiful Backgrounds for my Butterfly Friends

Posted on August 4, 2019 by

Each month I gather with other demonstrators in my Butterfly Friends team to stamp, swap, learn, and be inspired by each others stamped art. I have the privilege of providing stamping projects for this group each month, and I work to find projects that try new techniques or patterns AND/OR retry older techniques or patterns.

This month my projects focused on background techniques using brand new stamp sets, and this was so much fun for me!  Check out the cards and let me know in the comments if you would like to learn any of these background techniques!

Burnished Ink

Embossing Paste over Burnished Ink

Ink Smooshing

Die Paper Piecing

Pigment Sprinkles


Did you know that during August you can get $155 of Stampin’ Up! products for only $99? If you have a big wish list, then you need to take advantage of this deal this month.  Talk to me if this intrigues you. Check out some more information.
