Watercolour Valentine Cards!

Hello and Happy Valentines Day 💓!! We are still in the midst of a cold snap here in Calgary, so we are celebrating with crafts inside today and of course a little chocolate 😉🍫 I'm sharing a pair of pretty watercolor Valentines on the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Studio Blog using some Tattered Angels Mists and Tattered Angels Mini Origins papers. These papers are great for watercolouring and have a fabric-like texture - so cool!


I stitched around the edges of the watercolour panel to give even more texture. Since I was featuring the coffee themed mini origins papers I chose coffee love stamps from my stash!


I added some watercolour diecuts misted with the Tattered Angels sprays and used Glossy Accents to highlight various areas of the cards.


Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the CCB Creative Studio blog post to get a list of supplies used and see all the other creative crew members' projects! Have a wonderful Valentines Day friends!

Hello! Well, we are definitely in the middle of a cold snap here in Calgary, Alberta! It felt like -39*C here Sunday - not a day to spend much time outside! So, I have been not feeling guilty about staying in and crafting to say the least ;) Today, I'm over on the Scrap Shotz blog to share another layout using the fabulous February Scrapbook Kit. I just love the colours in this kit and the ability to mix and match. Just look at the purple layout I shared Friday, compared to the navy one with orange highlights today - all with the same kit!

Gerda Steiner Designs - Umbrella Mouse Card!

Hello sweet friends! I just love seeing all the lovely new images available in the Gerda Steiner Designs shop, and today I'm sharing this super cute Umbrella Mouse digi with you. This cutie could be used for many different occasions, but I chose a get well sentiment from Pretty Cute Stamps to coordinate with it. I decided to do some paper piecing to give her a trendy umbrella, scarf and jacket - and I'm sharing just how to do that in a little tutorial on the GSD Blog.

Hello! I'm so excited to dig into the Scrap Shotz February 2019 Scrapbook kit featuring the Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Hills 2 collection. The colours are gorgeous and the kit will be perfect for so many themes! Today I'm using photos from our local Scrapbook Carnival event in Calgary, Alberta, where I got to hang out for two days with lots of other crafty, scrappy peeps.... it was awesome!

I love using sketches and they fit lots of photos into each double page sketch, which is awesome!

Lawn Fawn Mini Valentines!

Hello! I sure hope you have had a wonderful weekend and beginning to your week. It has been super cold here - today was -38 C. A good day to stay in and craft! I thought I'd share these adorable little Valentines Day cards using the sweet Lawn Fawn Let's Toast Stamp and Die set. There are so many cute little sayings that coordinate with the images in the set, perfect for creating these mini cards!!


I layered a piece of BoBunny paper diecut with a scalloped edge Pretty Pink Posh die on a piece of Lawn Fawn watercolour paper and then added the images and coordinating sentiments. Each card measures 3 1/2" square.


I used Copics and Prismacolor Markers, both alcohol based, to colour in all the images. I just love the cute little faces in the set!


I used Distress Oxide inks to add the PB and Jelly stamps to the toast... yum!


Inside, I stamped one of the cute sentiments from the set. Each card is the same inside, but is stamped in a different coordinating colour using Distress Oxides.


Thanks so much for stopping by! Keep warm and cozy friends 💜
