Tonic Studios Mixed Media Card

This card is so bright and cheerful! I used Tonic Craft Kit stamps and dies. I gold-embossed the floral stamps. I used Color Burst powders to easily create a bright & interesting background. Minimal supplies! Have a creative day! ... View the Post

Digi Stamp Card

This is part of a future Jane's Girls Digi stamp collection based on the Jane Austen era. I used my digital gel print collection for the patterned paper. I also cut the flower dies from the paper along with cardstock. It's a fast card, but looks harder than it was. The digi stamp is watercolored already, so what would be the most time consuming part is already finished! Happy creativeness! :) ... View the Post

Spellbinders Kit and Vellum

I know, more treat bags. :) I can't help it! They are fun to decorate and useful for goodies. The pink vellum one features Spellbinders Club Kit ephemera and Nuvo drops. I love using eyelash trim for texture. This one features my own digital art in watercolor stipes. Coral is such a timeless color! The flower is from Apple Blossom. Create today! ... View the Post

Spellbinders Mixed Media Card

Treat Bags ~ Sparkle Swan

Treat bags are fun to make, and so far, each one has been unique. It's a good chance to use up scraps and bits of ephemera. The gold flexible paper is from Michael's. The swan has Nuvo gold sparkle pen goodness on it. :) Prima Marketing gold doilies and pom-pom trim! I assembled to flowers together and glued a button in the middle. The layered flower is an Altenew die. Happy creating! ... View the Post
