I've always loved seeing snow texture on Christmas projects and so I decided to add it to my own projects this year using The Crafter's Workshop modeling pastes! I have a step by step tutorial on TCW's blog for you so make sure to scroll down and click on the tutorial link. Whenever I take a closer look at textured Christmas cards there's usually a special snow texture paste used... (I actually have one of those.) But I'll show you a way of achieving a very similiar look using supplies you may already have at home in combination with The Crafter's Workshop texture pastes. Tutorial & Supplies: Click here to see how I created this background and how I added all the snow texture to my card. Supplies are listed and linked too over there! I would love it if you could leave me a comment on the tutorial post letting me know what you think about this idea! Are you trying out the technique for your Christmas projects this year? That's all for n...

I'm sharing a magical tutorial today with The Crafter's Workshop . A unicorn stenciled and foiled card with lots of color and sparkle. I love stencils and the depth they add to projects and today you'll see how only one stencil gives you so much interest. I'll be showing you how to make a two toned foiled pattern with TCW Harlequin stencil using Deco Foil Transfer Gel. This is going to be fun, I can assure you and the best part is that you will be able to make a project just like this to if you follow the tutorial.

I'm sharing a new card with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps today and I'm bringing lots of sparkle and mixed media to cheer up your day. To make today's card I monoprinted a background with my gel press, a stencil and craft paints and once I removed the card panel from the gel press, while the paint was still wet I sprinkled glitter, mica and other beautiful texture elements that add shimmer to to the card. I made a border using a strip of patterned paper and an SVG border cut that I created and then added two flowers lightly colored and fussy cut. Finally I stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment, in beautiful cursive font, on a matching patterned paper banner. This Magnolia flower and this sentiment are from a set I designed for SNSS called  Floral Greetings.  Hope you enjoyed today's post. Until next time!

  Today is our inspiration blog hop with our GD shop team and there will be so many different project ideas for you! I wanted to share an elegant an easy to make set of notecards in beautiful lilac and aqua. The new digital paper pack Magnolia Dreams has a color palette that allows you to play with a few more colors other than fuscia and teal. You'll see me mixing and matching SVG cuts, some mine and another from a different designer and also traditional die cuts. Follow me to check out how I made these dreamy cards. I am using 2 tones of lilac specialty cardstock and an aqua cardstock by by Paper Temptress , our collab partner this month who created a specialty paper pack that will let you make a large amount of projects in a variety of colors matching the patterns from our digital pack perfectly. This card base has 3 different layers. I used Paper Temptress Aqua Basis 80#, Amethist Mica Metallic and Mountain Rose Glimmer. Layer 1 . I started of by cutting our A2 d...

Today is the beginning of my journey as part of the The Crafter's Workshop Stencils Design Team and I couldn't be happier. To celebrate I'm sharing a detailed step by step tutorial on these Tropical themed monoprinted and textured cards on TCW's blog .  Out of all the stencil techniques I've tried out, adding texture to stenciled patterns has to be one of my favorite things to do. You'll find glitter, embossing powder, mica as texture finishes, and it was lots of fun to experiment with all those different mediums. I'm also using one of my favorite stencils: TCW643 Infinite Lace by Rebekah Meier . I used craft paints this time and as you can see I've been into bold, Summer colors lately so I had to go for a strong color combo this time also. I used the new Magnolia Dreams flower stamp to finish my cards, some SVG leaf cuts and a word bead colored with alcohol markers. TUTORIAL Click here to view the complete step by step tutorial ...

Coloring mediums have been all I've thought about this year, from Zig markers to watercolors... But today I'm trying out Prismacolor pencils for the first time! It is a different medium, slower to begin with, but it is -oh so totally- worth it! I decided to use Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Mason Jar Bouquet flowers to try out my Prismacolors for the first time. I didn't use any solution to blend the colors, I simple did it the classic way... Layering. Layering requires patience and if you have some form of arthritis you'll feel uncomforable at some point but if you don't press the pencil too hard, apply the color with small circular strokes you will achieve a neat transition. The flowers turned out so delicate and pretty that I decided to create a very intricate lace card base for them using Anna Griffin's Elegant Embellishments 2 cartridge on my new Cricut Explore Air 2. This card has so many delicate layers and it makes the images look even more cla...
