Hi All,
Here’s another project I have for the upcoming craft fair. These card fold closed to a standard 4.25” x 5.5″ card. When opened it turns into an easel that reveals a stack of sticky notes for easy memo writing and doodling. Each pen also coordinates with the theme of the card.
These will be available at the upcoming craft fair and on Etsy.
Hi All,
Today I have 2 holiday cards to share. I wanted to crank out some Christmas cards for friends and a few for the craft show this weekend. For this card I used stamps from Simon Says Stamp and color blended with Derwent Inktense Pencils. Inktense pencils are similar to color pencils in looks, but work like watercolors in that they blend well with water. The final look gives a bit of a gradient without any pencil stroke marks.
Here’s the watercolored gnome trimmed out and given a christmas themed background.
I added in a coordinating interior design on this card (not pictured). I think it turned out pretty cute.
Hi All,
This is part 2 to my other post today. I used the same techniques for this card (inktense pencils and color blending). This stamp set from Simon is great for sentiments with a play on words. I thought the play on ‘deer’ vs. ‘dear’ was adorable.
Here’s the deer that I colored using Inktense pencils.
I’m hoping to have a few more cards done before the craft show and can’t wait to share them with you soon!
Hi All,
‘Tis the season to be Freezin’. I love how my auto-correct would love to change that to f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g. Nice try there.
I found this gem of a sentiment over at Miss Kate Cuttables. I am not entirely sure if it is in fact miss kate making the cuttables, but I am thankful for some of her really fun die-cut shapes. Be sure to check her out on facebook if you are interested in cuttable shapes and she even has options for obtaining images for commercial use.
I found this frame in a dark oak brown and ended up painting it heirloom white to give it a new identity. I then pulled out my Silhouette (cutting machine) to size up these images to fit the frame . To make the words POP i colored them with stamp markers and then added some silver glittered accents to make them look icy.
The entire image sits on a wood-grain background – which is super difficult to see, but I promise it’s there.
