Falling Leaves Spinner-Slider

Hello Autumn Hi. Thanks for dropping in. I love trees and leaves and I really enjoy using those in my cards. Creating a falling leaves effect seemed like a fun challenge. I painted red, orange, and yellow watercolor paint onto my media mat and spritzed it with water (first image). Then I pressed watercolor paperContinue reading “Falling Leaves Spinner-Slider”

Halloween Shaker and Slider

Hi and welcome. It’s All Hallows’ Eve. Will you dress up or hand out candy? Traveling has kept me from posting recently, but I have made some things to share. I made a few cards among other things. This one was made with a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs’ Halloween Set 1. Although it’s fromContinue reading “Halloween Shaker and Slider”

The Happy Dapper Snail

Hi. And welcome. Oh my! Isn’t this snail die the cutest?! It’s just so cheerful that I couldn’t resist (didn’t try) adding it to my shopping cart. I made three slimline cards using the new Elizabeth Craft Designs Snail die, Florals Minis and Pretty Pastels papers. All have a similar layout, but different color schemesContinue reading “The Happy Dapper Snail”

Gel Print Journal Page

Hi! Welcome to my page. I made this art journal page for the ECD (Elizabeth Craft Designs) Planners & Journaling June prompt, “pastels”.

A Crate of Watercolor Flowers

Hi and thanks for visiting! This sweet little Mother’s Day project has very few supplies (for a change). Soooo. Please don’t judge me, but, I save trash. I try to hide it, but apparently my family knows and occasionally they’ll leave interesting paper, string, or containers for me – things that most people would considerContinue reading “A Crate of Watercolor Flowers”

Paper Flowers, Paper Frame

Hi! I’m Di. Thanks for dropping by. Today I’m sharing a project using all Elizabeth Craft Designs products. I’ve had the Shadow Box Frames dies for awhile, but this was my first time to use them. Happily, the frame went together really easily. If you need help there is a good tutorial on the ElizabethContinue reading “Paper Flowers, Paper Frame”

Saint Patrick Cards

Hi and welcome! Just a quick post using stamps and dies from several companies to create a couple of Saint Patrick’s cards. I had fun looking through my stamps and dies for anything that could be used for these: a witch’s cauldron for a pot of gold, bubbles for gold coins, a file for aContinue reading “Saint Patrick Cards”
