02.01.2022…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! I had so much fun creating the little watercolor hearts for my 3″ x 3″ cards yesterday, and I actually had several of them left over. So….I decided to use the extra hearts to create this card! Of course, this would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day card, but I think it would make a great wedding or anniversary card as well! Hope these card inspires you use your leftover bits and pieces, too!

Hope these cards inspire you to create some fun, little Valentines for your family and friends!

01.14.2022…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I wanted to share a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It is a “birthday” challenge! And…..you can never have too many birthday cards on hand, so I was super excited about this challenge!
I love using a Water Painter to add quick washes of color to simple images that I’ve stamped with a Tuxedo Black Memento Pad. The Driving By Stamp Set (from the current Sale-A-Bration catalog) is just perfect for that. For a little unexpected twist, I used Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, and Bermuda Bay to color those cute, little VW busses.
Hope this color challenge inspires you to create a birthdaycard or project with some of your favorite techniques and/or products!
