Poetic Artistry

Hey friends! Today I'm sharing a little quartet of square cards. Jamie posted some card sketches in the Not 2 Shabby newsletter this month and they got my little fingers itching to create!

I shared these in my hop video this week. Jamie's has a special offer for orders through June 15, but you have to watch one of the videos on the hop to find out how to qualify. Here's the link to my video: https://youtu.be/clePWpvCNeA

For this grouping of cards, I splattered some villainous potion and cracked pistachio distress oxide inks onto white cardstock, cutting the panels down to 4" squares, which I matted with 4 1/8" squares of purple cardstock.

The purple print and the mint green papers are from the Cute Sea Critters paper pad in the June Paper Pad Club. The darling turtle images are in the add-on Sweet and Playful Turtles ephemera, and I accented with a few sparkly enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulously creative day!

Hey friends! It's been a minute since I posted here. My life is pretty much watching tennis right now with my boys playing in tournaments pretty much every week this summer. I love watching them, so it's a blessing, but I do miss my crafty time a little bit.

I did sit down the other day and made 10 cards with the new Making Memories Printable Cardmaking Kit from LV Handcrafted. I just love vintage ephemera and old maps, so this collection called my name. Most of the card layouts come from Kendra's Card Challenge 22. I used almost everything I printed from the kit, except a few images that met a sad fate in a Scan 'n Cut accident. Haha. I pulled in a little gold and kraft cardstock, and sponged just about everything with Walnut Stain distress ink. Definitely a super fun crafty session.

You can see me walk through a full printed kit and share all 10 of these cards on this video: https://youtu.be/c6ED1TzmDoQ

I just love the images and sentiments in this kit. If they inspire you, you can grab them with my discount code VERVEGIRL in the LV Handcrafted shop. Thanks so much for stopping by!
