Merry Making Class Day 5

By on October 16, 2017 in Paper Crafting

Today I was inspired to try my hand at a holiday watercolor card. Debby Hughes is the master at watercoloring a scene, and she made a glorious card to show us her technique. Here, I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolor my scene.

I adore this Stamping Bella image…so cute! That carrot is just waiting to be put on the snowman as a nose! Well, that wraps up the class projects this time around. I will take more time to finish up a few more projects I really wanted to try…soon!  I really enjoyed this class and can recommend any of these classes they offer. Enjoy!

Merry Making Class Day 4

By on October 14, 2017 in Paper Crafting

I’m back with a great card using all die cuts, inspired by Nichol Spohr! Ok, ok, there is ONE stamp on this card: the greeting! But other than that, this is mostly die cuts colored up with some Distress Inks. I love how it turned out! These are some new stamps and dies from Right At Home Stamps and I love the car and that sentiment!

See you again for the last day of class projects tomorrow!

Merry Making Class Day 3

By on October 13, 2017 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I was inspired again by Kristina Werner in the Merry Making Course. She showed us a method of using non-holiday stamps and coloring them up using holiday colors for a beautiful card. So I used a background stamp by Simon Says Stamp (Cora background). I thought it looked a little like a wreath. It just needs a red bow!

I used Copics only on the center part (wreath) and added a popped up sentiment. I also added some Nuvo drops in green, but you may not be able to see them in the picture. In real life, it adds a fun dimension to the project. See you again tomorrow with another card!

Merry Making Class Day 2

By on October 12, 2017 in Paper Crafting

Today Jennifer McGuire inspired me in the Online Card Classes Merry Making course. She showed us how to score a heavy weight paper (110# is best) and then stamp on top. It leaves a beautiful white line through the image. Here’s my take:

See those scored lines? I think this looks even more beautiful in real life…but hopefully you can see a little of the lines. I’ll be back tomorrow with another fun project inspired by class!

By on October 11, 2017 in Paper Crafting

I’m happy to be joining in on the Online Card Classes Merry Making course this month! Today, I was inspired by Kristina Werner. She taught us a bokeh technique using Distress Oxide inks and water. Simple, but so beautiful! Here’s my take on the project:

I just love that little Arctic Fox looking up at the snowy sky! Such a fun card today. Thanks for the inspiration, Kristina! Loving class so far. I’ll be back with more tomorrow!
