Hi Creative Friends,
We are skipping our way toward the first days of Autumn and what better way to celebrate than a card design filled with festive pumpkins and an Autumn scene. I have always loved the Autumn Entrance stamp set (I am a sucker for quaint doors!) by Penny Black so when I saw a project by Mimi Jourdain, I had to try my own version.
Hi Creative Friends,
Here we are in September, the beginning of Fall so what better way to ring in the season than a festive Autumn Harvest card design. This one features a few new stamp sets by Penny Black. The first one is the graceful and willowy Windswept and the second is the Basket Builder with its many options.
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,
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,
My family and I are enjoying the beaches and beautiful ocean this summer. Along with the beach, there are wonderful starfish so this lovely Starfish Wishes stamp set by Penny Black was a perfect match.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Heather Telford, one of our very favorite guests is sharing three awesome card designs using gouache. If you haven’t used gouache before, no worries, she will walk you through the process and show you how easy it is to create stunning designs!
Hi Crafty Friends,
Thanks for joining me today! I am sharing a video (see below) to show you another way you can use this fabulous Painted Peony stamp and die set by Concord & 9th. This set has beautiful blossoms, leaves, and my fav, berries… all the makings of something amazing!
