Sending You All My Love Card

Morning, all! Kristina here. :)

I love creating card like this where I can try out different techniques and such. I just create bands of color using different methods. Super easy and I love looking at it after it's done.

In this case, I did a bit of spray misting with Calico Shine, embossing with a Sizzix folder, clear embossing with the Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain stamp, and then stamp resist with the Teeny Tiny Backdrops stamp set from Lawn Fawn and the new Tim Holtz Spring Seasonal Distress Inks.

Enjoy!

We were so thrilled for Jennifer McGuire and the birth of her new baby girl, Lila Grace this past Mother's Day! Our very awesome and talented teammates, Liz, Sarah N., & Tiffany made these amazing cards in honor of Jennifer's new arrival. Congratulations, Jennifer!

We were very excited to see and participate in Janna Miller's Crafty Welcome for Jennifer and her new little one! Won't you join the fun too? Check it out here.

Welcome Watercolor Card

Morning, all! Kristina here. :)

For today's card, I wanted to do a bit of watercolor painting using the Neighborhood stamp set from Claudine Hellmuth. Such cute little houses! I use the Faber Castell 24 pack of watercolor pencils, an Aquash Brush, and stamped the houses in StazOn Jet Black ink.

Enjoy!
