Hello Beautiful with Jessica Frost-Ballas

Posted by Jessica Frost-Ballas | Jun 18, 2018 | Uncategorized

Good morning! Jess here with a bright and cheery jungle card featuring the Tropical Foliage dies and Jungle Littles stamps! To start I blended evergreen bough, peacock feathers, and pine needles distress ink onto a piece of ranger watercolor paper in a diagonal pattern. Then I spritzed it with water and blotted off the excess. I set that aside to dry while I worked on the leaves. Next I die-cut a bunch of leaves with the Tropical Foliage dies from canson montval watercolor paper. I added a little color with zig clean color real brush markers and then used...

Just Sayin’ Happy Birthday with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jun 15, 2018 | Uncategorized

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card using some lovely products from the May release. Just Sayin’ is a really fun and versatile set. I love how many sentiments are included, which gives so many possibilities for cards. I began by stamping and copic colouring the three critters from from the set. I also coloured some accessories. I added gel pen details, then die cut everything with the coordinating dies. Next, I cut a piece of white card, the same width as my card base, but shorter. To add some interest to this, I used one of the...

Wishing You Brighter Days With Eloise Blue

Posted by Eloise Blue | Jun 11, 2018 | Uncategorized

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I’ll be using the Puddle Play stamp set to make an encouragement card. This set is so super cute and I loved playing with some watercolours for all my colouring today, since lately I’ve been very moved towards Copics. To begin my card today, I started off with stamping my images onto some watercolour cardstock with black ink and clear heat embossed over them, so when I watercolour; the colour is a little more contained and easier to handle. I used my Kuretake Gansai Watercolour Palette for today, since I haven’t used it...

Hello there! Audrey here with a card to share with you using the recently released Puddle Play stamp set and coordinating Puddle Play dies! I live in Florida, and this time of year, the weather is all over the place. Once minute the sun is shining and the next, it’s pouring! My umbrella is getting a work-out these days!! 🙂 I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit with this card, and pulled out my Prismacolor Pencils and some medium grey cardstock. Colored pencil is not a medium that I work with often, but I am trying to...
