Hi all. 🙂
Today I have sweet Flower Maiden 2 by A Day for Daisies “watercolored” using Copics.
The watercolor look is easy to achieve with Copics and Colorless Blender. You can use the markers themselves scribbled onto a palette or acetate, or you can use Copic refills, otherwise known as Various Ink. I prefer to use Various Ink.
You can find a complete step-by-step tutorial on the Craftsy blog HERE. I hope you’ll check it out. 🙂
Thanks so much for visiting! Have a great day!

Hi everyone! I have three birthday cards to share today, one cute and quirky, one bright and cheery and one just plain cute. 🙂
You can find step-by-step instructions with complete supply lists for each here:
First I combined a couple different stamp sets, sentiments and dies to create this cute chick on a wire. 🙂
I used bright white X-Press It Blending Card for the background and Copic marker coloring of the chick.
Next I created a fun/festive card by embossing a background stamp then sponging over with bright inks.
I used coordinating colors to brighten the sentiment as well.
Lastly, I have a cute little 3-d cupcake with a bit of patterned paper.
Don’t forget the sprinkles! 🙂
Again, you can find a complete list of supplies and instructions on the Craftsy website following the link below:
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi everyone! I’m squeezing in another Craftsy tutorial today. This time I’m revisiting the shaving cream technique. Actually, I had never used this technique until writing THIS tutorial. It was fun!
I have one card with the more common swirled or marbled effect and on my second card I was able to create a pattern of roses. Squeee! I love how it turned out! And I love that it’s “different.” 🙂
First I used Surf & Turf by Paper Smooches.
My seahorse (colored with Copic markers) is surrounded by an ocean of swirly blue… and a tiny bit of green. (The pearls were colored using a Copic marker.)
And then…the roses! The sentiment is from Pretty Phrases also by Paper Smooches.
Here’s a close-up:
You can find my step-by-step tutorial for both cards HERE.
Thanks for looking! 🙂

Hi everyone! I have a new tutorial on the Craftsy blog today, this time demonstrating a stacked sentiment technique. You can find the tutorial HERE.
The flowers were stamped using Embellished Eggs (with “friend” from Fall Foliage) by My Favorite Things. Letters were die-cut with By the Letters Lowercase Die-namics.
To finish the inside, I stamped a few more flowers and a sentiment from Smile stamp set.
Thanks for checking it out (here)! 🙂

The elephant is popped up on clear foam squares to add just a bit of dimension.
