ATC Challenge with a Spring Theme

A little birdie has flown onto my first ATC (artist trading card) and I'm so excited to share it with you today! I used a new watercolor set for my ATC that I found on Amazon.

Love Is In the Air

It's Stampendous inspiration time for the ever popular love day! This week Stampendous is rounding up some great ideas to show the love with House-Mouse and other love themed stamps that can be used any time even on Valentine's day.  Stop by Monday's post for oodles if inspiration and then check back the rest of the week for even more! My card. Love. What I really love about it is the Laurel Burch color palette. It stretches me to blend in a very different way then I would if I were to pick up any other stamp and then I get lost in coloring and realize it's finished. I'm not going to lie, it takes some time to complete. I practice on a scrap of paper. I'm not sure how exactly I'm going to transition from color to color, but when I'm done it's pure happiness! The colors just POP! Check out the supplies and easy instructions for today's card. Thanks for stopping by! Supplies : I provide some product links that are through m...

A Purrfect Card with Technique Junkies

It's getting closer and closer to Valentines Day, and I'm pulling together a stack of lovely cards. Today features a sweet feline with a wishlist just for YOU! Shop at  Technique Junkies  with code  TJ10Janelle  on all regular priced items including the stamps I used on this project! I made the background with the Pantone Color of the Year in mind, Ultraviolet, using the Spattered Ombre technique  varied with a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol! A double row of straight stitches around the outside for detail was done before gluing it onto the kraft paper mat already adhered to the white card base. A plain old-fashioned piece of paper torn from a memo pad was used to stamp the sentiment in Memento Grape Jelly Ink. Vogue Kitty is stamped with a scotch tape mask over the hat to make the Memento Tuxedo black ink outline and then reversed the tape mask to ink the hat then remove the tape before stamping, trust me I know from experience. Some enamel dots to...

In January Stampendous introduced this super product with some of the sweetest stamp designs so that we can not only stamp, but store them as decorations. They are called Curios and you'll love the colorful images mounted on wood blocks that silhouette it's high quality gray rubber stamp! My project today uses the tweet little bird from Fran's artist sketch style stamps. It's called Tweet One . I loved the idea of this little blue bird perched around in my room. It's like bringing in a bit of spring into my craft industry world!
