Hello Dear Friends,
We are just so lucky to have lovely and super talented friends like Heather Telford! She was kind enough to share some of her artistic secrets with us today. This time she is exploring gouache, an opaque watercolor medium and all you can do with it. To help to see all the true beauty and the ins and outs Heather has graciously shared her video with us!
Hi Crafty Friends,
We are soooo happy to welcome Dana Kirby. She is sharing two amazing projects, both using the awesome Triple-Step Autumn Leaf stamp and die set by Concord & 9th. Dana shows you how you can change the occasion just by altering your color scheme – brilliant!
After you soak up all the loveliness from Dana here, be sure to pop over to her blog or Instagram account!
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today we are sharing a colorful and modern card design. It features the Modern Mosiac die by Concord & 9th and the fabulous Big On You stamp and die set.
Hi Everyone,
I can’t seem to get enough of the awesome Heartfelt Blossoms stamp and die set by Concord & 9th. The floral border and the beautiful ‘Thinking of You” make for a stunning but easy card design and there are so many ways you can paint or color it.
Yesterday, I shared a watercolor version using a real fav of mine, the Karin Watercolor Brushmarkers. Today I have colored the flowers with Copic alcohol markers and used the matching die set.
One last thing before we jump into the ins and outs of this card design… don’t miss the winner to our Summer giveaway at the end of this post… here’s hoping it’s you!
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a beautiful new stamp set by Concord & 9th. It is the Heartfelt Blossoms stamp and matching die set. I am in love with it! The flowers are so beautiful and you can use the matching die to cut out the floral frame (check it out in tomorrow’s post!). But for now, let’s explore this stamp set.
Hi Crafty Friends,
I am back, as promised, with a how-to video for this fun and spooky Halloween card design. For some silly reason, I love to make Halloween cards. I think it is the vibrant colors and moody scenes you can create and this design has it all!
Hi Crafty Friends,
I am sharing a new video today showing you how to create a dramatic background using one of my favorites, Brusho dry crystal watercolors. You, of course, can use any watercolors for this project but I am in love with Brusho’s intense colors.
To accompany the Brusho paints, I am also using the Into the Sky cling stamp set by Penny Black.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Summer is fading and soon Autumn leaves will be falling. To get us in the mood, I have created a card design filled with colorful Autumn leaves. For the leaves, I used the beautiful Fall Foliage die set by Penny Black.
Hi Everyone,
We have two very special treats for you today. First, the very talented Heather Telford is sharing a summer-y card design that makes you want to wiggle your toes in the sand and bask in the sun! She created it using the charming new stamp, At Ease by Penny Black.
Then, to celebrate summer (before it’s over for another year) Heather and The Foiled Fox are hosted a Summer Giveaway. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment and let us know what is your favorite summer activity!
Hi Crafty Friends,
We are so very excited to share an awesome slimline card by Lisa Tilson of My Card Trip blog (@lisatilson). She used the adorable bears from the Beach Bear stamp and die set by My Favorite Things and pastel colors to create a soothing and relaxing beach scene. They are absolute ‘chill’ lounging around and soaking up the rays!
