Fall is Better with Friends

Hey friends! Happy Friday! Today I’m popping in with one of the cards I made during my LIVE crafting session on Monday night. if you missed it, the replay is available on my channel. 

This card features the beautiful Autumn Greetings Retreat Kit. I stamped the leaf image on watercolor paper, then did some loose water coloring with some Lindy’s Magicals. For the card background I did a little tone on tone stenciling with the coordinating leaf stencil, then stamped some of the splatter stamps randomly in the open areas.

This card features the gorgeous Autumn Greetings Retreat Kit. I started by stamping the leaf image onto watercolor paper and then did some loose, vibrant water coloring with Lindy’s Magicals. For the background, I blended a little tone-on-tone stenciling using the coordinating leaf stencil and added some random splatter stamps in the open areas to build up the texture.

The sentiment comes from the Fall Friends printable that I designed as a reward for our Community Harvest, which we officially harvested! Every single Retreat Kit owner will get access to this printable, which is so exciting. I printed it out on my laser printer and then ran it through my Minc machine with some absolutely stunning orange foil. Both the sentiment and the tag mat were cut out using the Ultimate Accordion Dies, and I finished everything off with a touch of ribbon and some sparkling enamel dots from the kit.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. In case you missed the announcement, there are still a few of my Mystery De-stash Bundles available over in Linh’s shop, priced at around 75% off retail for a total steal of a deal!

Four Christmas in July Cards + Destash Alert

Hey crafty friends! Grab a giant refreshing beverage and get cozy, because we are escaping the summer heat today with some serious winter inspiration!

If you’ve been following along with the weather out here in Idaho, you know I’ve been practically melting at my boys' summer tennis tournaments. While spring is usually my prime time to hit the courts myself, and autumn remains my absolute favorite season, this week I am fully embracing Christmas in July.

We have a massive milestone to celebrate in the craft room! It is officially the one-year anniversary of the EZ Wonder Die #3, created by the Linh over at LV Handcrafted Design for the Not 2 Shabby Shop. To mark the occasion, Linh has been releasing weekly commemorative sheet printables. This week it's a gorgeous Winter Commemorative Postage Sheet, and I just couldn't wait to dive in and create four distinct cards to show you just how versatile these printables can be.

A Peek at the Cards

In my latest YouTube video, I walk you through making four cards with this one sheet printable.

• The "Cookies & Cocoa" Team Grid: A clean, postage grid layout featuring the adorable avatars of our EZ Postage Printables design team.

• The "Home for the Holidays" card: A warm, vintage-inspired card with an icy blue snowy village and a sweet coffee drinking grannny.

• Blue Christmas Wishes: A fun layout using scraps from the gorgeous Blue Christmas collection (on sale right now for Christmas in July!), and a sweet girl holding a warm mug that is absolutely filled with coffee in my imagination.

• The Grumpy Old Man: I know he doesn't look that grumpy, but he reminds me of the classic move, Grumpy Old Men. LOL
