Say Hello to the New Colors

Hello Friend Card Design

I’m a wee bit obsessed with all the new colors and I just had to fit every single one of them into this card creation. Yeppers. All 8 colors make up this beautiful pattern. How about that Key Lime cardstock! Yes, amazing isn’t it? I just love all the bold brights in this release. Stamp set: Hello Beautiful,” with Gina K Designs.

How about the Mamas?

A Mother's Love Card

Mother’s Day is fast approaching. And even though my Mama has been gone for 20 years, I still love celebrating all the mama’s in my life, friends and family. Such a blessing!

This card for the mama’s just makes me so happy. To create this one, I used my stamp set Hello Beautiful and You Are stamp set with Gina K Designs along with a brand new sentiment set called Lettered and Lovely by Emily Schroepfer.  I just love this handlettered sentiment set from Emily. And the new colors make this card happy, bright, with pops of color everywhere. That sea glass through, right? Holy smokes it makes the perfect color for this bright wreath.

Did you catch the video tutorial on this card?

Chock-full of tips, tricks and ideas. And a bit of geeky color speak. Enjoy!

Here’s some watercolor goodies I have in progress

These colors make me so happy. Aren’t they bright, bold and beautiful. The colors are so saturated, they really make a great watercolor medium. Look at how well they blend in the jar. Oh tropical perfection! And the background patterned paper was created with the inks too. I’m big on versatility with supplies… the new ink colors are perfect as a color medium too! P.S. I know I say HELLO a lot. HELLO…

This patterned paper background is in the works with a little watercolor magic using Tangerine Twist and Coral Reef. I over stamped into the wet surface to create layers and layers of color using Coral reef. Cannot wait to put this pattern into a card design. Woot!

How About Some Freebies?

I’ve created a project idea sheet and companion digital die cut files for you! A gift of grace from me to you.
