New beginning and a new blog!

-
Hello, everyone! I'm really excited to be writing this- I'm going to embark upon a new adventure in the world of crafting- a blog for my cards and other crafty creations! I'm super excited to start sharing and see what this can grow into. Hopefully this is a fun way to share new ideas and thoughts while simultaneously enjoying the love of all things crafty! Thanks for checking me out!

Below, I'll share a few of my favorite past projects that I made and shared via my Instagram page. 

 This one is a card filled with lots of learning and practice on a new technique for me-coloring "white" with my Spectrum Noir markers. Ranger Ink's Alcohol Inks are one of my favorite media for backgrounds, too!
 Die cut layering with Honey Bee Stamps' nesting dies inspired by the crafty legend, Jennifer McGuire.
 Coloring backgrounds with my spectrum noir is such a gorgeous and fun way to really set your stamping apart! These stamps from Penny Black Stamps are so gorgeous and fun to color!
 This is mainly just here because I love alpacas and thought this one came out pretty 😍 I think these alpacas from Sunny Studio Stamps are my favorite alpacas stamps I've seen!

 Coloring with gold heat embossed backgrounds is therapeutic, and I loved the results!
 This is one of my favorite accomplishments in the no-line coloring technique so far. The colors, the embossed background for added interest, and the sparkle make this card look much more complex than it was! The Greeting Farm has the cutest little people with great hair for coloring!
Alcohol inks will always have a special place on my shelves. This background and the little dew drops on the flowers gave this card so much dimension and texture! This Hummingbird Stamp and die set from Avery Elle is so realistic and detailed, I can't wait to make more like this! 

Thanks again for joining me- I look forward to lots of fun adventures and crafty projects here!

Sparkly Shaker Card Tutorial!

-
Image
 Sparkles and glitter are two of my favorite things. Therefore, my first tutorial of sorts being a shaker card is fitting! I remember the first time I saw a shaker card, I just HAD to make one! I've made many of them now, and I thought it would be fun to share my process and welcome input on how everybody else does this, too! So, first things first, to make a card like the cute Polar Bear card I'm sharing here, you will need: -Stamped images, colored with your preferred medium (I used Spectrum Noir markers) -Middleground paper (I used an alcohol ink background I mixed up using Ranger's alcohol inks in ********) -circle dies, in two separate, consecutive sizes (nesting dies that stack next to each other are best, and you can get creative and use squares, rectangles, ovals, and irregular shapes!) -acetate or packaging material from your extremely important and necessary supply purchases. I used the wrapper from a pack of stickers here. -3M Scotch Brand foam mounting

     Hello, everyone! I had a snow day from work today. Buffalo is getting slammed with a nasty blizzard, so I've been crafting up a storm!       For today's project, I'm sharing a quick and fun way to make a bunch of Valentines at once, using my stamp set from The Ton.
