2019 Recap Part 2

2019 Recap Part 2

I saw 2019 with a giggle since this year isn't over yet, I'm just so 

behind on my blogging. Let's chat about Christmas crafting it's one of our

favorite things to do during the holiday season. This one is super fun and

 budget friendly for the family! 

Handmade Cards

Simple and easy just take a toilet paper roll cardboard center and wrap

q-tips around the paper roll using a rubber band to hold them together.

Gather a few different green paints, 1 red paint, and 1 yellow gold paint color.

Dip the paper roll wrap in the green paint and gently pat down onto

your card base of white card stock. As I dipped and pat down I would rotate

the paper roll wrap to give more texture.

Repeat the same with the yellow gold paint.

For the red paint for the berries....I wrapped three q-tips

together...dabbing it into the red paint also I rotated it 

around the wreath to give the berries different placement.

This was a super fun project grab a few supplies and get crafty!

Thanks for popping in today!

Simple and Easy Cards

Here is a simple step by step on this quilted happy birthday card!

Start by stamping happy birthday sentiment 

from the August 2015 Stamp of the Month

"FRAMED"

I stamped the image once in Slate Ink, 

repeat in Canary Ink..then fuzzy cut out the inner image.

I stamped the happy birthday in Sorbet Ink.

I then cut 1 inch squares out of the New Zoe paper...

then glued the squares to a piece of white daisy card stock.

Cut down to card size you desire...corner round the corners

I used CTMH corner rounder.

Then using CTMH Quartrefoil embossing folder 

(after the glue has dried).

I popped up the embossed piece...

For a fun flair I added ruffled crepe paper to

fringe and fluff...so fun!

Here is my card inspired by the Sketch & Color Dare!

I created a Happy Mother's Day Card, using

distress inks with water for a watercolor effect. 

I used the fabulous Die-Namites Dies "Butterfly Frenzy".

I love the watercolor look with Distress Inks...I use my Kraft Mat to 

rub the Distress Inks down onto the mat. Using my water brush picked up

the ink as my color....brushed on layers after layers creating depth.

I love the textures in my card between the card stock, die cut pieces,

watercolors in ink, with the burlap and Petaloo flowers.....colored in Tattered Angels

Glimmer Mists...right down to the tiny Liquid Pearls dots to add softness.

This will make a beautiful card for a mother's day gift.

Clean and Simple Cards with Water Coloring Tutorial for Die~Namites!

Sharing with you all my clean and simple cards with water coloring tutorial....from the Die~Namites Blog,!

Clean and Simple Cards

Who doesn't love the end of a work week, with busy schedules, etc.

It's Peggy Lee, here to share with you all. A simple card with water coloring tutorial!

I love to pile on many other products like (inks, gesso, fibers, stamps, etc.)

on my everyday cards, but

sometimes it's refreshing to make a clean and simple card.

That is actually what I have created here with just a hint of mixed media texture!

 Water coloring Tutorial

Step 1. Die cut your Die~Namites Die,

 I die cut the "Shady Tree" out of white card stock.

Step 2. Using your inks or mist try your hand at water coloring with them.

I used my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist products....first I 

used Tattered Leather glimmer mist.

Step 3. Dry in between each color of mist.

Step 4. Start with your lightness color, then keep coloring!

Tattered Angels Canary Chalkboard glimmer mist.

Next I used 

Tattered Angels Chilli Pepper Red Simply Sheer.

Next I used

Tattered Angels Olive Vine glimmer mist.

Next I used 

Ranger Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy.

Next I used

Ranger Distress Stain Spiced Marmalade.

Then I used 

Tattered Angels Graphite glimmer mist to

add splatters....to give the tree and leaves a

weathered worn feel.

There you have it so simple and fun to use your mists, inks and stains...

to water color your die cuts.

Here is a side view of the "Shady Tree" I popped the die cut

up with pop dots...to give the image depth.

I just love how this card came out....love faint stamping with the depth of the tree.

Oh and by far my favorite is the water coloring, it's so fun...

Why don't you try this technique out, I know you will love it!!!

Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy the fall season!
