Dragonfly Dreams Friend Watercolored Card - Kylie's Training Blog Hop

Image
Hello crafters! Today I am part of a fun and inspiring blog hop for you. Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the globe have come together again from Kylie's Facebook Demonstrator Training page to bring a lot of fun projects for you to be inspired to by and to get your creative mojo flowing. Stuck in a rut or haven't crafted in awhile? This blog hop will help! Today I have a card using a stamp set from the Annual catalog. Here it is.....

     I wanted to dragonflies to be the main standout on my card so I softly watercolored the background. I used the Watercolor Pencils to apply some color to the paper first, then used the Aqua Painter to blend the colors out so I had no harsh lines.

   I decided to die cut the dragonfly bunch using the Sparkle Glimmer paper. This added to the softness of my card. I then wound some Silver Metallic thread around my fingers and stuck it to the Dimensionals on the back. Finally I put sequins around the card front and stamped my sentim…

Hello again crafty people! It's that time again for another blog hop with demonstrators from around the whole world who are part of Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Group. These hops are so fun because you can find inspiration and creativity from so many different people all over the globe. Lost your creative mojo or just don't where to get started then you need to check out each person on this hop to get those crafty ideas flowing. Here is my card.....

     I was inspired to make this card from another card marker. I have always loved the Little Twinkle stamp set and knew that this was more then just for babies. By combining it with the Well Said Bundle I'm telling my loved one that our love was written in the stars.

     I heat embossed the background first then watercolored it. This way I didn't have the watercoloring showing through the embossing from underneath. You could do this technique with any of the different embossing powders depending on yo…

Beauty Abounds Card - Kylie's Training Group Blog Hop

Image
Hello again everyone! It has been a bit since my last post. Things got really crazy right before Christmas and then we went on a 2 week vacay. Well, I spent most of that vacation sick with a terrible cold that caused me to get a sinus infection. NOT FUN!!! But I am back today with a really fun post. I am participating in a Blog Hop with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the globe. You may or may not know but this past week on Jan 3rd the new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs were released and boy are they amazing! I wanted to spotlight the beautiful bundle Beauty Abounds. Here is my card...

     What is really cool about this card is that it uses a DSP (Designer Series Paper) from the Sale-A-Bration catalog that if you got this bundle you could get for FREE!! I started with doing a simple watercolor on watercolor paper with a few different colors and then let it dry. I used the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits to die cut the watercolor paper. I highly recommend using…

Dandelion Wishes and Bokeh Dots Card

Image
Hello again. How is your week? I am currently in the Valley (Phoenix) picking up my brother who is going to stay with us for a few days. We usually do this every summer with him. He has some developmental delays even though he is 22 yrs old. My husband and him get along great and do a lot of fun things together. He really enjoys being up here.
     For my card today I did something very simple, but still beautiful. Not everything you do needs to be over the top. And I don't want anyone thinking simple just means boring. Also, it helps those beginner stampers out there understand that "Yes" they can do this.


   There is no fancy layering on this one, just stamping. The new Bokeh stamp is simply amazing. I makes a great background for this beautiful dandelion that as kids we all would make a wish and blown it into the wind.


     I just added a Clear Faceted Gem to the center and two of the new Glitter Enamel Dots on the side. These new colors are so beautiful. I reall…
