Watercolor wishes for warmer days

It's ridiculously cold right now -- about -24ºF air temperature, but it feels even colder when you factor in the wind. Schools and some businesses are closed, and mail delivery has been cancelled for tomorrow. It's hard to describe, but just trust me. It's cold.

So to combat this so-called polar vortex, I'm going to share some watercolor-style cards with images of pretty flowers and cute scenes. Things to remind myself that warmer temperatures will come again. Someday.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Small Container set, Mini Flower set (both Art Impressions)
Paper: Cajun Craze card stock, water color paper (Strathmore)
Ink: Marvy LePlume II markers: 17, 13, 28, 5, 86, 6, 15, 45, 18; Stardust Gelly Roll pen (Sakura)
Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Thinlits (Sizzix - TIm Holtz), braided linen trim, Tiny Attacher (Tim Holtz), Subtle embossing folder

All of these cards are made with Art Impressions stamps. I am still developing my skills with this watercolor stamping technique, but it's fun, and it forces me to be patient and to worry less about perfection. If you're looking for more information, Art Impressions has many YouTube videos featuring amazing projects as well as tips and instructions.

Here is a close-up so you can see the sparkle I added to these flowers.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Small Container Set, Mini Flower Set (both Art Impressions)
Paper: Sahara Sand, Basic Black card stock, water color paper (Strathmore)
Ink: Marvy LePlume II markers: 17, 86, 15, 45, 18
Accessories: Tin Tile embossing folder, linen thread, Dimensionals

So far I'm most comfortable making little scenes with containers and some sort of flowers or greenery. And who doesn't like flowers? In this scene, there was a spot on the right-hand pot that I didn't like -- the perfect opportunity to add a little bow!

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Bird Bath Set, Foliage Set, Clay Pot Set, Flower Set 2 (all Art Impressions)
Paper: Basic Gray card stock, watercolor paper (Strathmore)
Ink: Marvy LePlume II markers: 86, 45, 15, 20, 17, 6, 46; Stardust Gelly Roll pen (Sakura)
Accessories: Brick embossing folder (Taylored Expressions), sequins (Paper Pumpkin leftovers), Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers)

For this card I ventured out of my comfort zone a bit and created a slightly more elaborate scene with a tree branch, bird bath, and two little robins. They look like they might be having a little conversation on a nice spring day.

I didn't get a close-up, but I colored over the water in the bird bath with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen so it looks like the water is sparkling in the sunlight. Overall I think this scene turned out pretty well. To finish the card, I mounted the focal layer on a gray card base embossed with a brick texture. It makes me think of a beautiful garden surrounded be a brick wall. Maybe something from The Secret Garden.

For the last four cards, I created the focal images at an Art Impressions class at the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo last summer. I don't have a list handy of the specific stamp sets and colors used, but I will identify the other products I used to make the cards.

Additional supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Paper:Thick Very Vanilla, Berry Burst card stock; Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP)
Accessories: Crochet trim, Champagne sequins (The Makery), Stardust Gelly Roll pen (Sakura), Dimensionals

Additional supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Paper: Blueberry Bushel, Berry Burst card stock; card base (Art Impressions)

Here's to watercolor wishes for warmer days ahead. Thanks for stopping by!

January Christmas card: Mod flower

I really enjoyed making and sharing my monthly Christmas cards last year, so I decided I would try it again this year. For my first card I used a new stamp set that wasn't necessarily meant for Christmas cards - it's always fun to find an unexpected use for a stamp set.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Mod Floral Stack (Reverse Confetti), Holiday Wishes (Altenew)
Paper: Very Vanilla note cards and envelopes
Ink: Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Real Red, VersaMark
Accessories: Red sequins (unknown), gold detail embossing powder, Candy Cane Lane baker's twine, Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers)

It's definitely more modern than my usual style, but I like the way this card design turned out. I stamped the largest petals in the darkest color, Tranquil Tide, on the bottom. Then I progressed up to Lemon Lime Twist and Real Red. Originally I was going to use two shades of red to mirror the two shades of green, but then I thought the image needed a little glitz. So instead I embossed the smallest petals with gold embossing powder. I also added gold at the bottom of the card with an embossed sentiment.

This clean and simple card needed a little embellishment, so I added two red accents: a single sequin at the top of the petals and a baker's twine bow on the light green petals. For a final touch I rounded the two corners on the right side of the card to mimic the curve of the petals.

It feels good to already have a few Christmas cards made. Now if I could only get a head start on the gifts ... Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there, bears

We're in a bitter cold snap in my neck of the woods. The forecast for next Wednesday is predicting a high temperature of -9°F (that's around -23°C). Brr. If I could, I'd go into hibernation like the bears and not venture out until spring.

But it looks like a few bears have braved the cold and ventured out early so I could put them on these cute cards:

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Hi There Bear (Concord & 9th)
Paper: 80-lb white card stock (Cougar)
Ink: Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso
Accessories: Hi There Bear dies (Concord & 9th), gold sequins (Craft Medley), corner rounder, Dimensionals

The Hi There Bear stamp and die set are so much fun. There are various fill-in and outline pieces so you can make different types and colors of bears. There also are all kinds of accessories and greetings so your bear is ready for any occasion.

This particular card was a pick-me-up for a friend, so I gave my bear a bouquet of cheerful yellow flowers. I added some gold sequins to bring out the yellow and create a little sparkle.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Hi There Bear (Concord & 9th)
Paper: 80-lb white card stock (Cougar); Crumb Cake, Powder Pink, Real Red, Crushed Curry card stock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Powder Pink, Real Red, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Smoky Slate, Tempting Turquoise
Accessories: Hi There Bear dies (Concord & 9th), Basic Black baker's twine, linen thread, washi tape (Recollections and unknown), Dimensionals

These bears also were perfect for a few kids' birthday cards. I was experimenting with different color combinations, so I stamped a bunch of bears and festive accessories, die cut them, and played around with different groupings until I was happy with the arrangement. I placed a strip of washi tape along the bottom edge of three white card bases to give the bears something to "stand" on and then adhered them to the cards with Dimensionals. Here is a close-up of one of the cards:

I hope we don't have to "bear" this weather for too long. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.) Thanks for stopping by!

Serene scenes

It's cold in my neck of the woods today. Really cold. So I'd happily be transported to either of the scenes in these two cards. They're not tropical scenes, which would be heavenly right about now, but I do imagine that they are decidedly warmer than what's outside my door.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up!):
Stamps: By the Bay
Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla card stock
Ink: Soft Suede
Accessories: Tin Tile embossing folder, burlap trim, Neutrals Candy Dots, sponge, Dimensionals

This stamp set, By the Bay, is one of the sets you can get free during Stampin' Up!'s 2019 Sale-a-Bration promotion. I love the seaside-themed images and the classic sentiments in the set, so it was one of my first choices.

I'll admit that when I started making this card, I planned to add color to the image. I tried a couple of times, but it just wasn't turning out the way I wanted it to. So instead of getting more frustrated, I decided to create a clean, monochromatic card instead. I love the texture provided by the Tin Tile embossing folder.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Natural Beauty (Heartfelt Creations) 
Paper: Soft Suede card stock, watercolor paper (Strathmore) 
Ink: Jet Black StazOn; ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens, Nos. 036, 041, 061, 043, 065, 037 
Accessories: Pinewood Planks embossing folder, Small Stitched Rectangle Stackable dies (Lawn Fawn), Neutrals Candy Dots, foam tape (3M)

I painted this focal image a couple of years ago when I was making a sympathy card. At the time I must have liked it enough to save it, but not enough to use it on the original card. Who knows. But when I came across it recently, I decided to make it into a card. I just added a card base with an embossed layer and a few Candy Dots.

I realize that both of these cards have basically the same layout, so I apologize for the lack of variety. But sometimes a certain layout just works, and if it isn't broke, why fix it? It also didn't help that I made both of these cards shortly before Christmas when I was madly trying to finish a box of cards to give to my uncle. I was running low on time for creativity.

On a technical note, recently I've been getting a lot of spam comments on two particular old posts. I wish I could just turn off the comments on those posts, but I can't. So instead I turned on the verification feature for comments. That means if you choose to leave a comment there will be an extra step to prove you're not a bot. I'm not crazy about that since I try to make it as easy as possible for readers to leave comments, but I'm hoping this will cut some of the spam.

Scads of stripes

I love patterned paper, and one pattern I really like to incorporate into cards is stripes. They can be masculine or feminine, elegant or playful, subtle or bold. They never go out of style, and it's fun to pair them with other patterns (especially florals). So today I have three birthday cards featuring scads of stripes.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Itty Bitty Birthdays, Strictly Sentiments 5 (WPlus9 Design Studio), Birthday Wish, Whole Lotta' Happy (WPlus9 Design Studio)
Paper: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay card stock; Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper (DSP)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Brights Enamel Shapes, Word Bubbles Framelits dies, Dimensionals, Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers)

When I make masculine cards, sometimes I get stuck in a rut of neutral colors and nature images. Not that there is anything wrong with that -- I love those types of cards. But it's nice to have festive, brightly colored cards for guys, too, and that was my goal with this card.

For the card base I started with Bermuda Base card stock and added a panel of DSP with bright, diagonal stripes. Then, rather than added a focal image, I let the sentiments take center stage.

I pulled out my Word Bubbles Framelits dies and searched through stamp sets to find different sentiments that fit in the various die-cut shapes. For the tall word bubble I used two sentiments to help fill up the space, but I also could have trimmed the die cut so it was smaller.

With everything stamped and cut, I played around with the placement of the word bubbles until I liked the arrangement. Then I adhered them to the card base, using Dimensionals to pop up a few of them. For a quick and not-too-feminine embellishment I added a few yellow enamel stars.

I added some color inside the card, too, by stamping part of the sentiment with Bermuda Bay ink.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Party with Cake
Paper: Basic Black card stock, 80-lb white card stock (Cougar), Tutti-Frutti DSP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Stampin' Blends markers: Real Red, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Party Pop-Up Thinlits dies, Coral Reef sequins (Close to My Heart), Dimensionals

This is another card with colorful stripes that I think is a good gender-neutral design. Again I used DSP for the background, but this time I enhanced it a bit. The original paper was just black and white stripes, so to add color I just used alcohol-based markers to color over the white. It works like a charm and is an easy way to create stripes in whatever color you want.

I did add a layer of white card stock behind the stripes to create a narrow border at the top and bottom of the DSP. For the focal point I die cut an image from the Party Pop-Up Thinlits dies out of white card stock to stand out against the DSP. (And I just realized that it's another word bubble. Funny!) I added a few white sequins to finish the card front.

I used my markers to add color inside the card by coloring in the "open" letters in the sentiment. I also added colorful dots to look like falling confetti.

Supplies (all Stampin'' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Itty Bitty Birthdays
Paper: Whisper White, thick Whisper White, Basic Black card stock; Tutti-Frutti DSP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Pansy Punch, Square Flip-Its #2 Thinlits (Sizzix), Summer Sun corduroy buttons, white crochet thread (DMC), daisy trim (Making Memories), Dandelion Yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops (Tonic Studios)

This card definitely has a more feminine feel (and doesn't have any word bubbles). It started with the daisy trim, which I had originally cut to use on a different card. The trim ended up not working on that card, but I had the idea that it would look really cool on a black background. I used Nuvo Drops to add yellow centers to the daisies, and that gave me my color palette: black, white, and yellow.

I added yellow-and-white-striped DSP to a thick white card base and adhered a strip of black card stock with the daisy trim along the bottom of the card. I die cut a decorative black square and added a punched white flower for the focal image. Of course, the flower needed a yellow center, so I pulled out an old corduroy button and tied a bow of crochet thread through the holes. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white card stock, cut one end of the strip into a banner end and tucked the other end under the black square.

Have a tea-lightful day

Have you noticed that there seems to be a "day" for everything lately? National Kazoo Day (Jan. 28), International Ask a Question Day (March 14), and Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Night (August 8) are just a few examples. While these "holidays" can seem bizarre and frivolous, it also can be fun to have a day to be mindful of something that makes us happy or that we take for granted in our fast-paced, consumer-focused world.

As it happens, today, January 12 is National Hot Tea Day. I often associate tea with relaxation -- maybe curling up on the sofa with a good book or taking a break from a busy day to sit and catch up with a friend. When I was growing up, visits to our grandparents' house almost always ended with a cup of tea. My grandma would heat up water in the kettle, make a pot or two of Bigelow brand Constant Comment or Lemon Lift tea, and pull out some kind of homemade treat: chocolate chip cookies, a variety of bars, Christmas cookies, and strudel were always favorites. To this day Constant Comment is one of my all-time favorite teas; it's not fancy, but it's full of memories.

So, in honor of National Hot Tea Day, hear are a couple of whimsical tea-themed cards.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Tealightful Day (Pinkfresh Studio)
Paper: Thick Whisper White card stock, watercolor paper (Strathmore)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko); ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers: 099, 024, 041, 044, 036, 037, 091, 050, 065, 020 (Kuretake)
Accessories: White polka dot tulle, clear droplets (Pretty Pink Posh), Dimensionals, Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers)

Wouldn't this be a fun card to send to a friend? I know it would make me smile to find this in my mail.

When I saw the Tealightful Day stamp set online, I fell in love with it. It's a little more "quirky" than my usual style, but it has so many great images and sentiments that work independently or can be combined for fun little scenes. On this card, the teacup, hill/house/rainbow, bunny, ladder, and flower are all separate images. But don't they look so cute together?

I stamped everything on watercolor paper and added color with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush markers. I'm not great at watercoloring, so my goals are usually to A) get a little bit of depth and shading in my image, and B) not have colors run together (I am not patient with drying time). I need more practice, but I think I did pretty well here. Once everything was colored, I cut out the image and used Dimensionals to adhere it to a white card base. I left the rest of the card very clean and simple, with just a couple of neutral embellishments, so the teacup could be the star.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Tealightful Day (Pinkfresh Studio)
Paper: Lovely Lilac, Basic Black card stock; watercolor paper (Strathmore), Oh My Stars Collection Kit (Bella Blvd)
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko); ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers: 043, 061, 099, 068, 036, 041, 901, 067, 803, 024, 050 (Kuretake); white gel pen; ultra fine point black marker (Bic)
Accessories: Linen thread, Viola sequins (Craft Medley), Micro Adhesive Dots (Glue Dots), Dimensionals

This card I turned into a birthday card by adding a birthday sentiment inside. But it would be a great design for almost any occasion -- or no particular occasion at all.

I decided to fill this teacup with a variety of flowers, and I added a couple of bunnies and a bird for good measure. (And the ladder. For some reason the ladder on the teacup really amuses me.) I wanted to create a scene, so I also painted a base for the teacup and added a very light blue wash around the teacup to create a hint of sky.

I love yellow and purple together, so I wanted most of the flowers to be yellow. I made the two smallest flowers red for a little pop. After I painted the flowers I used a white gel pen to add a few details. I drew a frame with a black marker, added three purple sequins and used a Micro Glue Dot to attach a linen thread bow to one of the flower steams. (Those tiny adhesive dots are awesome!) I used Dimensionals to attach the completed panel to a Lovely Lilac card base over strips of black card stock and yellow patterned paper.

I hope you have a truly tea-lightful day. Thanks for stopping by!

Decorative Christmas tiles

I know many people have already "put away" Christmas, but we still have the tree and all the decorations up at our house. January often seems like such a dark, cold month that it's nice to have the cheerful lights and extra color. And since our tree is still up, I feel like it's not too late to share some Christmas decorations I made for my extended family. (If you're one of the people who's already moved on, maybe these will help you get a jump start on projects for next Christmas!)

During my birthday craft weekend in October, I bought twelve pressed-wood tiles. They were slightly smaller than 6" x 6", and they had two holes pre-drilled in the top to add string or ribbon for hanging. I knew I wanted to use them to make Christmas decorations, and somehow I managed to get them all done during the holiday hoopla. I was a bad blogger, though, and didn't keep a list of the supplies I used. I pulled out all kinds of products -- new and retired, from many different companies -- and had them scattered all around my craft room, so I wasn't quite organized enough to keep a supply list. But as always, if you have a question about anything specific, leave me a comment and I will do my best to remember or figure out what I used!

In no particular order, here are the different tiles I made. (The only one I duplicated exactly was the gingerbread house, so that’s why there are only eleven pictured.) Click on any of the pictures to enlarge it.

I do have a few general tips for how I made my tiles:

* The tiles have a slight beveled edge, so I made sure to measure the dimensions of the top surface before cutting the paper to layer on the top.

* When the paper was cut, I lined it up on the surface of the tile without adhering it. Then I carefully flipped the tile and paper over and laid them down on the table. I placed a sharpened pencil through the holes and traced the circle openings on the back of the paper. Then I used a Crop-A-Dile to line up the traced circles and punch the holes in the paper.

* I used Scor-Tape to adhere the base layer of paper to the tiles. I made sure to place the tape right along the edge of the paper so there wouldn't be any loose corners or edges.

* On the back of each tile was a large label that I couldn't peel off. (I tried and tried with the first one and was just pulling off tiny little pieces. It would have taken me forever to completely get the labels off all the tiles.) So instead I just covered up the labels. For each tile I cut a piece of patterned paper (sometimes the same print as on the front, sometimes a different coordinating print) to about 4" x 5" and adhered it over the label on the back of the tile. Then I stamped "Merry Christmas" on a die-cut tag, signed my name and the year, and added it over the patterned paper.
