Using the brand new Cat-astrophe stamps from My Favorite Things I created a fun Get Well Soon pop up card with a faux box of tissues inside. The pattern papers are new from Stampin Up from their Pampered Pets papers.
I used only pattern papers (no stamping) along with some dies to create these quick and easy dog and cat cards. I used the new Playful Pets Design Series Papers from Stampin Up along with some of their dies and an embossing folder. Visit my Youtube chanel to watch my video tutorial or check it out down below.
I created this fun Unicorn card with the Dragons and Unicorns stamp set from Hero Arts. For the starry background I ink blended on an embossing folder so the white stars still shine through. I used markers and inks from Spectrum Noir for my coloring and inking.
This tall slimline card is perfect for Father’s Day or your Dad’s Birthay. I used Spooky Spellers stamps from Hello Bluebird for a fun woodland animal card. I used a white Prismacolor colored pencil to add accents to my Tri-Blend alcohol based markers on light tan cardstock and I love the results!

Each May artists on Instagram create mermaid themed projects for #MerMay. I love mermaids so I try to create at least one mermaid card each May. This one was made using a digital stamp and a Glaminator Foiling Machine. I love the shimmer foils can add to digital stamps. It also makes them easy to color because the foiling can’t smear.
I don’t normally do simple cards but I want to challenge myself to create some. I used the Garden Friends stamp set from Crafter’s Companion with Arteza Real Brush Pens to watercolor and create two clean and simple cards for Mother’s Day. Using brown instead of black ink helps giving a softer storybook look.
I used the brand new Party on the Farm stamp set from Hello Bluebird along with one of their older Halloween sets, Tabitha and turned her into a farm girl. I colored my images with Tri-Blend Spectrum Noir markers and ink blended my background.
I wanted to create some Thank You cards for the staff working in the nursing home that take care of my mother and also cared for my grandmother who recently passed. Now is the perfect time to say thanks to all the medical staff who are helping take care of us during this difficult time fighting the Covid-19 virus. My Favorite Things is generously offering several of their nurse and Dr. stamps as FREE digital downloads through 4/30/20, so I used them to make my cards. I’ll show you how to resize PDF images and how to color them with Prismacolor Pencils using a blending solution in my latest video.
I created this fun Easter card with products I have on hand since it’s hard right now to shop for new crafting supplies because of the virus. I used stamps from Gerda Steiner, Tri-Blend Markers for coloring and Masking Magic sheets to mask my ink blended background.
