Floating by to say....Hi!

Here is a card made with the June Stamp and Die Club from The Stamps of Life.  It is called hot4balloons.  It is a really fun set!!

The sentiment says Hi!  I embossed the blue cardstock with the CTMH Dot embossing folder and then sanded the surface to bring out the dots.  I used a Wink of Stella pen to glitter up the sun.

The Art of Practicing Gratitude

I am taking part in the 21 Days of Gratitude.  I have been so busy I am just now getting started.  Here is my cover page and Day 1 - Create.

We are given techniques to try, a word, a quote and bible verse to incorporate into our journal pages. On day one we were to try water with course salt add to add texture.  As you can tell I love bright colors:)

Watercolor for Cardmakers Online Class

I am an online class junkie and I am especially fond of the Online Card Classes.  I just finished the Watercolor for Card Makers Class...

 This is great class.  I have learned so many cool techniques to try using watercolor paints and markers.  Here are a couple of my tries at watercoloring a stamped image.  The stamps are from Unity Stamps Phyllis Harris {Artisan} Collection.  I love her images and sentiments!!!  

This first one is my first try at using Tombow watercolor markers and it definitely has a learning curve. 

Here's is my second try and I think this one turned out a bit better.  I think this technique will take some practice to really master but I love it:)

Just Be...

Joanne Sharpe has her first book coming out and I had ordered it but it was delayed as were many of her other "color lovelies" orders, so she put up a challenge to do while we wait.   Here is my Just Be artwork...

It is 6x6 and I cannot wait to mount it and get it on my wall.

A Couple of Cards

Here are a couple of cards I made with products from The Stamps of Life.

The first card I made using the Triple Square Flip-its Die and a free stamp set I received by being a club member.  I love this card die..it makes the cutest cards and they are so easy:)

The next card is made with the calm2keep Stamp set and Majestic Labels Die. I used the largest die and folded my paper and placed the fold just outside the cut line on the die to make it a card.

Popcorn2stamp

I belong to Stephanie Barnard's Stamp & Die of the Month Club and this month's set is called popcorn2stamp.  I have been wanting to play with it and finally found the time.  Here's a card I made with it...

I am sending it to a young lady from church who is interning at a church in England.  I think she will get a smile from this cute card.
