Unicorn Card with Paper Flowers (Blast From the Past)

Here is another "blast from the past" card featuring a background die cut from Divinity Designs. The unicorn is a Recollections stamp and coordinating die cut from Michael's store. The flowers were dies from my stash. I love the colors! I colored the unicorn very simply with alcohol markers. I much prefer my Tombow markers or Arrtx acrylic markers. I think these were done with Stampin' Up! markers back when they first came out with alcohol markers. Sometimes, I like to make the ... View the Post

Alice in Wonderland Card in Box

I have loved Alice in Wonderland since I was a kid. I think I would probably fit in better in that world. 😂 This "blast from the past" is some digital paper that I had purchased from Echo Park. The designs are whimsical and happy. I loved making this card and coordinating gift box in the cheerful blue theme. I'm not sure if they still sell it, but you could create something similar with other design papers. Embossing folders are such an easy way to add texture and design to simple ... View the Post

Card Folio (Blast From the Past) & VIDEO

Here is a paper crafting "blast from the past" that can be done with any papers and cardstock. I love that it is a card and a gift, because you can pop tags, notecards, envelopes, and more into the inside pocket. Write your message on the fold out that is tied with a pretty ribbon! Fun! There is a VIDEO at the bottom of the post if you would like to see the process! ... View the Post

Autumnal Cards!

Since we are officially in the fall season, here are some fun cards using various techniques. There is some heat embossing, die cutting from ink-sprayed watercolor papers, and (my favorite) colored pencils on cardstock with the heat embossed stamping. There are a variety of companies from Sizzix to Studio Light. There are some Craftstash products, whom sadly, went out of business. Be free to use your art supplies to create unique cards! ...

Spellbinders Advent Calendar Cards

Sometimes a project is so good, you just have to wait a year to share it! :) Ha ha! I just forgot, guys. I created these cards using the Spellbinders Advent craft calendar, which was so fun to open. I made them for a friend who's great at sending cards for birthdays and other special occasions. I colored in the flowers with Arrtx markers and, of course, used my Distress ink pads for some added flair. If you're feeling inspired, don't be afraid to dig into your own art ... View the Post
