Stamptember 2021!

Posted in Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps, Watercolor by

Hey friends! It is one of my most favorite times of the year again Simon Says Stamp Stamptember!!!

I love these XL Greetings! They allowed me to freehand paint a flowers and put a nice bold sentiment right over the middle of it! Keeping it simple with just a big thanks!

I really enjoy being able to add my own art to a statement sentiment!

Now as for Stamptember, make sure you stop back at Simon Says Stamp everyday through the month to see what they have instore for us!

Hello Beautiful Release!

Posted in distress ink, Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps by

Hey friends! It is release day with Simon Says Stamp! You can check out the whole Hello Beautiful Release here!

I got to play with the Spring Blooms Corner Die! So I inkblended up a couple of background and then cut the die out on some white and black cardstock in order to create the two cards.

I really love the way these came out, it is so fun to get a small mystery parcel from Simon every month and get to play with something new! I popped up the panel with foam tape to get a bit of a shadow on the ink blended background.

Party Like a Panda

Posted in Copic, Prima, Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps, Uncategorized, Watercolor by

Hey friends! Today I have a fun card and video, creating my own background with watercolours and some copic colouring!

It was great fun creating the pastel rainbow background, then keeping the bright colours for the panda and his little balloons!

Come on, I just can not get over these cute little pandas! I have used this set a few times and just love it every time! The sentiments in this set are also super wonderful!

You can watch my video to check out my entire process!

Stronger Together

Posted in alcohol ink, Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps, Youtube by

Hey friends! Today I have a clean and simple card to share with you. Using Alcohol inks and my copics, both of which I have been neglecting!

I started off by creating the background panel with my alcohol inks, using some pinks. Which helped me choose the yellow flowers of the copic coloured image to contrast off of that pink background!

I did a primarily black sentiment as I wanted it to pop out from all the colour and white space that is on the front of this card. I haven’t done a clean and simple card like this in quite some time!

I do have a process video of this one to share with you all!

Be Kind

Posted in Daniel Smith, Derwent Inktense, Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps, Watercolor, Youtube by

Hey friends! Welcome to my last post and video for 2020! Just remember going into 2021, no matter what happens just Be Kind!

So I pulled out one of my favorite sets from 2020, called Be Kind from Simon Says Stamp. I used some OLD sticky back canvas (that’s not really sticky anymore) and some watercolour ground so I can use my favorite medium!

Once I watercoloured up the leaves, I then took some inktense to finish off all the little details! I do have a process video, hope you enjoy!

Hey all! I am so excited to be joining Simon Says Stamp with their Stamptember Blog Party!

Stamptember is always a thrilling event for the entire month over at Simon Says Stamp! There are tons of things to scavenge around the website to find, deals, freebies new stamp sets everyday!

I got to play with the Detail Elm Leaf Die, this one is so pretty! I cut it out with scraps of Arches Coldpress watercolour paper. (This stuff is to expensive to waste I keep all my scraps!) Using some of my Daniel Smith Watercolours I added a splash of watercolour onto the die cuts then layered them onto some grey cardstock. Adding a sentiment from the Hey Bestie stamp set.

Stately Flowers 8

Posted in Gina K. Designs, Karin BrushMarker Pro, Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps, Watercolor by

Hey everyone! I recently ordered a couple new stamp sets from Gina K. Designs. So today I mixed Stately Flowers 8 with Simon Says Stamps Stronger together to make a fun slimline card.

I used my Mother’s Day present (Senellier watercolour paints) to paint up the leaves in the background as well as the paint swatches. But for the gorgeous Iris from the Stately Flowers 8 set was painted using the Karin Brushmarker Pro’s.

I am really happy with how this sweet little card turned out. Now I need to order some more flowers from Gina K Designs!

Simon Says Stamp – Sunny Days Ahead

Posted in Karin BrushMarker Pro, Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps, Watercolor by

Hey all! Today I am back to share some of the new release from Simon Says Stamp with you!

I got the joy of playing with the Outline Mum Die, I love how it has a big cut out for the background and then a thin one for the letters themselves. The dies cut awesome I had zero issues.

I pulled out the Be Kind and Tiny words sets to help compliment the die. Then I coloured everything up with my Karin Brushmarker Pros. This was my first play with them. So far I think I love them but I should probably do a couple more projects before I say that 100%.

United We Craft

Posted in Daniel Smith, Simon Says Stamp, Simon Says Stamps, Watercolor by

Hey everyone. Welcome to the United we Craft Blog Party! I hope everyone is doing well in their social distancing, quarantining or work. Whatever it is you are doing right now.

I know my world has been full of work. Where I am, most businesses are closed or doing curbside pick ups. I have worked in construction for over a decade, thus far I am still working full time and then some.

But! Crafting is still my way to relax after work. And I love sharing projects with you all! So while I haven’t been able to take any extra crafty pictures, or things. I will share some of those with you all this weekend. I do have a fun card to share for this blog party!!

I had so much fun watercolouring up this set of leaves in two different colour ways, then adding them to a tone grey piece of paper where I used Distress Oxides to stencil on a circle.
