Hello! Today I’m up at The Hedgehog Hollow to share three different ways to add emoji faces.
I’m sharing ways to use stamps, stencils and dies to feature the emoji faces! Head on over and check it out HERE.

Hello again! I am excited to share a 3D Lily card with you today, inspired by the latest course I took at Altenew Academy. I’m going to share with you my favorite way to add extra interest/texture to a layered 3D die, and my inspiration for the background!
First of all, I enjoy watercoloring my 3D dies to get so much variation in color. I love this technique and I share just how I did this in my video below.
Then I was completely inspired by Therese in this class, she uses patterned paper and I thought that would make a wonderful background for my card!
Here’s the video, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:
This lily die set is one of my favorites already! I love how easy it is to layer up a gorgeous flower, whether you ink up your paper, watercolor, or use colored cardstock.
For my first card I made different layers of color with watercolors, then cut out the images. I used some patterned paper for the background in a rainbow colorway, and added the hello sentiment die cut from the leftover watercolor I painted.
On my second card I used the negative pieces from the above lilies! I like to save all the pieces to create even more flowers (that are also so interesting)!
I pieced these flowers together to look like smaller flowers that haven’t fully bloomed yet. I love the variety you can get by using all the extra pieces! For the flower on the right, I die cut the very back layer, but then used the cut out pieces on top of that to finish it off.
For this background, I did some ink blending and watercolor splatters. I used a sentiment from the Hero Arts/Altenew collaboration set, matching the ink color to the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed…and if you haven’t used 3D dies I highly recommend them! I’ll be back soon with more projects.
Hello! Today I have the sweetest little peanut butter and jelly jars for you, with some added detail that you won’t want to miss!
I’m working with the Hedgehog Hollow July 2020 Kit today, and the cutest food stamps and sentiments are included in this kit.
Just take a look at those peanut butter & jam jars!! So cute. But definitely needing some detail on the lids. So today I show you how to do just that.
Watch my video below or in HD on YouTube for all the fun details:

I finally got up the courage to use my NEW favorite blending brushes! I had them on my desk for a couple weeks before I finally put them to use, they were just so pretty!

Hello! Today I have a Clean and Simple card with a bold black and white flower. I was inspired by Laurie Willison’s Altenew class this week, (called Quick and Simple cards) as a part of my Level 3 certification.
That bold flower from this stamp set is one of my favorites! For this card, I first stamped the Block Print stamp in the background with a blue ink.
Then I heat embossed 3 sentiments from this stamp set in white on black cardstock. I was really inspired by Laurie’s first class where she showed a trick for making lots of sentiments with your Misti…so I gave that a try and stamped multiple sentiments with one pass.
I cut out small sentiment strips using my paper cutter and adhered them across the front of the card panel. Then I popped up the bold flower with foam tape.
The card panel is adhered to the card base with fun foam for a bit of dimension. This card was a complete joy to make and that background design really pops when it’s the only color on the card.
I was so inspired by this class and highly recommend it! Thanks for stopping by today.
Hello! Today I’m excited to bring you a preview of the Hedgehog Hollow July 2020 Kit…and I have a Copic Colored Pug Slimline card to share.
