As the resident card maker at my school, it often comes down to me when there’s a birthday, illness, or someone leaves for a new job. This first card is for a colleague who was doing just that – abandoning us! As a coffee mug hoarder, it was easy to pull out Ink Road’s MugRead More

Speaking of Watercoloring…
I mentioned in my previous post that I’m working on my watercoloring. I recently busted out the Bella Flora stamps by Ink Road as a base to practice with. You can see my first attempt below. I kind of like it, but couldn’t figure out how to approach learning watercoloring, so I did what anyoneRead More

Look for the Rainbows
I’ve been wanting to improve my watercoloring for a while, so I thought I’d start simple with just a basic blended swath of rainbow colors. The watercolors are Altenew’s Spring Garden Watercolor Brush Markers. I put a few drops of each color I wanted onto my glass media mat, then used a regular watercolor brushRead More

Mawage!
Some friends of mine got married last summer and I had the best time making this rainbow-rific, nerdy card for them! The background uses Gina K’s wreath builder template and Altenew’s Feeling Dotty stencil. I can’t for the life of me remember what inks I used, but suffice to say they made pretty rainbow colors.Read More

Be Majestic AF
I’m super excited to share with you all one of my very favorite cards I’ve ever made! First of all, the background is the Majestic AF Background stamp from Ink Road Stamps. I stamped it out in Copic-friendly ink and colored it painstakingly for nearly 3 hours before it was finally done! A little WinkRead More

This first one features Manatee-rific, their Porthole Frames, and the Really Rainbows Scallops paper pack.Read More

For the Rest of Us…
Between my mom and a coworker of mine, I had no choice but to make a couple of Festivus cards this holiday season! I wanted to keep it simple, so I took a full sheet of red cardstock and, using the same technique as I used for my Trip to Stars Hollow, stamped out aRead More

Farewell, Friend!
A coworker with a snarky sense of humor has just left the school I work at to pursue a career in the field she has her Master’s in. Can’t blame here, but we sure do miss her around here! As a fun farewell, I made her a couple of cards to express our regards asRead More

For That Special Someone
I love what I was able to pull together with this super adorable, snarky reveal wheel card! After stamping and heat embossing the Altenew Handpicked Bouquet stamp, I water colored the flower to be as pretty as I could make it. I’m not at all experienced or talented with water coloring, but I did makeRead More
