Hello all! I have a new video up over at Waffle Flower Crafts! In today’s video I share a fun and easy wet on wet watercoloring technique that involves a spray bottle!
I use this technique to create the look of fall foliage to complete the tree from the Adventures Stamp Set. To get all the details please check out my video below.

Hello all and thanks for joining us in Waffle Flower’s August Release Blog Hop!! This is such an incredible release with so many innovative and beautiful products and I have a lot of cards to share so let’s dive right in!!
First up is these two cards that I created with the new Color Swatches Stamp Set!
Not only did I use this set to create the backgrounds but I also used it to create a glazing chart which helped me pick a wonderful Distress Ink palette! To see the whole process please check out the video below.
Watch below or on my YouTube Channel.
Next up is a couple of cards I created with the new Adventures Stamp Set!
This is such a fun stamp set! Kamo’s illustrations are so enchanting and gestural and the intentionally leafless tree allows you to use whatever coloring technique of your choice to adorn it!
For this card I chose to use ink smooshing with Distress Inks to create the leaves. You can check out the video tutorial over at Simon Says Stamp!
Next up is an autumn version of this card with the Adventures Stamp Set.
For this card I used a really fun spray bottle technique to create the leaves.
I will have a video coming soon on this technique, so stay tuned! 😉
Last up is a group of cards I created with the new Lacy Flower XL Die and a few simple watercolor techniques! I will only briefly describe how I created these cards because I will also have a tutorial video
For these two cards I created two simple graded washes using my Gansai Tambi watercolors. I used only a single color for each card.
I used one graded wash as a background for the card on the left but die cut the second wash with the Lacy Flower XL Die for the card on the right.
The sentiments are from the Adventures Stamp Set.
For this card I created a graded wash with 2 colors. I then adhered a white Lacy Flower onto the wash and then stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the Adventures Stamp Set.
For these last two cards I played with a couple wet on wet techniques and created 2 panels.
I die cut one with the Lacy Flower XL Die and adhered it to an A2 top-folding card base. For the second panel, I die cut the Lacy Flower XL Die from mirrored gold and adhered it to the side of the panel.
I trimmed off the excess and then glued the remaining portions to the panel and trimmed again. I then finished the card with a gold embossed sentiment on black cardstock.

Hello all! We had a terrible monsoon storm and our internet was down for several days. So now I’m playing catch up and posting a couple of videos (hopefully today) I created for Waffle Flower Crafts.
Watch below or on my YouTube channel.
This was a very simple card to create. I’m still getting comfortable with alcohol inks but I really liked how this turned out! Plus I think it’s crazy you can get all this visual interest from just one ink color!
For all the details please head over to Waffle Flower Crafts blog. Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!!

Hello all!! Today is the day!! It’s release day!! Yassssss!! This is a fantastic release and I have 2 videos and a bunch of cards to share so let’s get this party started!
First up let’s get a good look at all the products apart of this release with a release overview video.
Watch below or on my YouTube channel.
Now that we have had a good look at all the stamps and dies from this release let’s check out the cards!!
Let’s start with the Deck the Halls Set. This set was illustrated by Flora Waycott and it is so sweet and cozy. Perfect for your those holiday cards!
I created a video for this first card! Please check it out below to get all the details. Also, over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing videos for all the other cards that you see in this post so stop back in to check those out if you are interested in a thorough tutorial of a particular card.
Watch below or on my YouTube Channel.
Next up is the second that I created with the Deck the Halls Set.
I stamped several images from the Deck the Halls Stamp Set in VersaFine onto watercolor paper. I then colored the images in with Distress inks.
Once I had finished coloring the images I diecut them out with the matching dies. I then constructed my windowed card using the A2 Arch Window Die and the A2 Nested Domes Die.
I created the frosted window by sprinkling and heat setting white embossing powder and stamped and embossed the snowflakes from the Deck the Halls Set. I completed the card with a sentiment from the Stocking Stamp Set.
Next up is the Bouquet Builder 2 Set! I love this set illustrated by Helen Dardik. It’s perfect for coloring and painting!
I actually have a video for this card over at Simon Says Stamp’s Blog. So please head over there to check it out.
Next up is the Sketchbook Set! This sweet little set was also illustrated by Flora Waycott.
For my first card, I stamped the images in VersaFine onto Bristol paper and then colored them in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens. I did masked and stamped a second sketchbook to create a blank book.
I then diecut all the images out and adhered them onto a kraft panel cut with the largest die from the A2 Nesting Rectangles 1 Die Set. I completed the card with a sentiment from the Boutique Builder 2 Stamp Set.
For my second card, I masked and stamped 3 blank sketchbooks in VersaFine onto watercolor paper.
I then stamped the flowers from the Bouquet Builder 2 Stamp Set onto the pages of the books. I then colored them images in with Tombow Dual Brush Pens and then cut the pages out with the matching dies.
I then scored all he books along the spine and then adhered one page from each book to the other books.
I then ink blended a background with Distress Oxides (Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, Candy Apple and Wilted Violet) onto an A2 panel of white cardstock cut with the A2 Nesting Rectangles 1 Die. I then added some water spots, stamped my sentiment and adhered the sketchbook.
And last but not least is the fun Rainbow Cheers Combo! This adorable Set was illustrated by Kamo!
For this card, I stamped and copic colored the cat and then die cut him out with the matching dies. I also foiled his sunglasses with Iridescent Decofoil. I then created an alcohol inked background for him to float in with Yupo paper and Sailboat Blue alcohol ink.
I then stamped a sentiment on a strip of white cardstock and adhered it and the cat to the to the alcohol inked background.
For my final card, I also started by stamping and copic coloring the cat from the Cheers Stamp set. I then created a foiled background with Decofoil Transfer Gel and Iridescent foil.
Next, I diecut a rainbow using the Rainbow Die (included in the Rainbow Cheers Combo) from white cardstock and then colored it in with my copics. I then stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock. I finished the card by adhering the cat, rainbow and sentiment to the iridescent panel.

Hello all! I’m over at Waffle Flower Crafts with a new video. In today’s video I combine one of my favorite stamping techniques, layering dye ink with pattern stamp. These are very simple techniques but combine together create endless possibilities!
I just love to play with pattern and color and could easily make hundreds of cards with a good pattern set, like the Arrowhead stamp set and a bunch of dye inks! In today’s video I demo just two cards but like I mentioned earlier the possibilities are truly endless!
Watch below or on my YouTube channel.
Please head over to Waffle Flower to get all the details and to see more photos. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hello all!! I’m over at Waffle Flower Crafts with a new video! Today I’m making another shaker card with the Moon & Stars Combo but this time with a very different style from colorful striped one I made a couple weeks ago.
In today’s video I blend a beautiful midnight sky with Distress inks and add mirrored gold moon and stars for lots of shine!

Hello!! Today’s the last day of the Waffle Flower and Marvy Uchida collaboration. 😞 But I have a fun video demonstrating a cool coloring technique using Marvy Uchida watercolor pencils and their Le Plume Blender Marker.
I really like the results I got from this technique, smooth blends with bright colors! Plus this is very economical coloring option!
I had some fun with the design of this card and made the head hamster parody a certain 80s celebrity. Can’t you guess who?😉
