Make It Monday #161: Watercolor Splats

Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and the watercolor splats technique.

What a fun technique!!!

I have been busy this week making my cards for the Blog Hop (I have mine done and my posts are ready to go!!! ;)) I just tonight took the time to make a card. I will be trying this again!

I think maybe I made too many splats ~ It was kinda fun, so I might have gotten carried away!

I used Stampers Select card stock. It warped a bit. I might try my water color paper next time and see how it turns out. The Stampers select takes the ink so well... maybe not?

I LOVE Nichole's technique, a LOT!!!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

Card order ~ More Cards

Additional cards from the group post of my card order

I am pretty sure this next card uses paper from Websters Pages warehouse box.

This card uses the scraps from cutting 2 5x7 and 2 4x5 note cards. 

I will post a picture of how I cut my 12x12 to get the most out of it, soon.

Watercolor stamping with Leave it Be!

This is a scrap card and the butterflies when I cut my own cover Plate. Waste not want not ;)

The pink on this one is bright, but not THIS bright! 

I LOVE Notched Star Banner die!

And who doesn't LOVE Wet Paint!!!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

Easter Card

My sister Pat *Hi Pat!* asked me to post one of the at least 50 Easter cards I sold. 

On cards like this, I keep them simple.

REALLY simple. I use a panel, a felt sticker I get at Michael's, a Limitless Layers die cut, and my new (for Me) Rustic Wreath die. That added a lot of interest without bulk or really much effort!

My Happy Easter stamp is an oldie from Stampin Up!

My gals at Curves LOVED this card! They bought everyone I made!

Happy Easter to all! I give GREAT thanks for my Risen Savior!

HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

Card order ~ cards

Here are close-up of some of the cards in the last post.

These are some of the WORST pictures I have ever take (that is not saying much because most of my pictures aren't that great!)

I LOVE this purple Sympathy card.

I made it in gold as well!

This is watercolor stamping from the MIM.

It made a pretty Sympathy card, too.

A shaker card made with Lizzie's text block! FUN!!!

Baby cards made with old scrapbook embellies!

How STINKIN" cute are these Diaper delivery van cards???

I have some more I will post soon. 

Thank you for looking at my blog!

Card order

One of my AMAZING card customers emailed me last week for an order of 26 cards!

I have sold THOUSANDS of cards over the years. I have had people buy MANY at a time, maybe more than 26.

But I have never received an order for 26 cards. She gave me a list of what she was looking for.

I have a box of over 50 for her to choose from but I took my favorite 26 and snapped some pictures of them.

This is too many cards for my light box. so the pictures aren't great...

There are Baby, Sympathy, Birthday

Thinking of you, Thank You

Friend

I had fun. I used some of the cards I have been making for MIM. 

Some were from the last couple of Blog Hops

A couple were what I like to call Pretty Paper cards.

I am so grateful for customers like her. They keep me motivated to produce as many cards and favors as I can for my water mission.

I tell my customers that they too are rewarded by buying my cards.

Their purchases provide more than a Cup of Cold Water for the least of his followers!

How cool is that!!!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

Make It Monday #159 : No-Sew Quilted Cards

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and impressing a quilted patterned onto a card element with a cover plate or impression plate.

I cannot bear to throw away any scrap of PTI paper. It has to be small for me to toss it!

This is a PERFECT project for cheapskates like me!!!

I had fun doing it, though as you can see I copied Dawns technique exactly.

BUSY week. I have been finishing up Bunny Bags for Easter. I have made at LEAST 125!

I used Raspberry Fizz Mix Patterned Paper. It is such a pretty, cheerful paper pack.

I used Quatrefoil cover plate. It is my favorite. Wouldn't it be a BEAUTIFUL quilt pattern?

I also cannot get enough of Wet Paint. I have yet to put it away. I haven't even taken Thanks! off the stamping block! That is LOVE!

Thank you Dawn for a fun technique!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

Make It Monday #158: Stamping With Watercolor Mediums

Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and stamped watercolors.

I LOVE leaves. I am not sure why, because in college I needed Botany for my major. I waited until my Senior year and it conflicted with another class I HAD to have. They let me take a houseplants class at night that was meant for the community. Easy A! Which is also funny because I have a black thumb!

Anyway, back to my card. I used Leave it Be. I think the image I used looks like a wildflower, agree???

I used Gelatos like Heather. But I only have the basic set, so shading with lots of colors is out. Who am I fooling? Shading, HaHa!

Anyway, I LOVE how it turned out. I used watercolor paper. I got a pad at HL or Michael's a long time ago. It is not expensive and lasts forever. It really hardly warps.

Fun technique. I am going to leave my supplies out and hopefully make a few of this card. 

I think my ladies will LOVE it!!!

Thank you for looking at my blog!
