Did you know that the aqua painter can be used to seal envelopes? Just take the aqua painter and fill with water. Squeeze the barrel and swipe along the glue strip. Seal and mail your card, invitation, etc.
Here’s to making crafting easier and no more papercuts on your tongue.
Happy Crafting!

As St. Patty’s Day comes closer I always start to look for cute cards. This is one of those holidays where I don’t usually buy a specific stamp set but I still want to create something for it. Did you know that the pear punch in the mini set becomes a leaf for a clover?
Join me on Thursday to get a look and full instructions of the completed card.

This morning I am still typing this in my pajamas. This is my version of rest. It’s a break from the routine for me. What’s your version?

I love today and our focus of giving back or paying it forward. Today I am up at the local high school for a career exploration day. The students walk through and talk to real career professionals. They get an idea what it takes to qualify and excel in a certain field. So I am presenting myself in my crafting uniform (glittery shirt, jeans, and boots) and showing that with some outside the box thinking just about anything and any passion can become a way of life.
But do you know the best part? I love that feeling knowing that I am making an impact. It’s so fulfilling to know that I just might be helping someone to decide their future.
How do you impact your circle of friends, family, or strangers?

Today’s card looks much more complicated than it actually is. Here are the steps.
The following are photos to illustrate how to color the white cardstock to create your weave.
Stamp the basket with memento ink and color with the stampin’ blends (alcohol markers).
Cut out the basket after stamping and coloring a butterfly in the handle. Glue with glue dots for the ribbon, fast fuse for the mat, and dimensionals for the basket cutout.

The re-inker bottles are not just for re-inking your pads. You can also drop a few drops of color in an aqua painter to make a watercolor wash. You can drop a few drops of different colors on a baby wipe to create your own “ink pad”. But today we are going to use the re-inkers as paint.
Take about 10 drops of a chosen color and place on an embossing folder. (This technique works especially well with the new 3D folders.) Grab a sponge or part of one and streak the ink across the folder.
Then place cardstock quickly before ink dries and run through Big Shot. After running through you might need to grab that same sponge and fill in where there might be missing ink sections.
See the completed project on tomorrow’s tutorial.

Sometimes messy is exactly what you need. There’s a time and a place for detail work but there’s also a time where you need to be able to smear and just enjoy. This piece was created with pear pizzazz and calypso coral with two sponge daubers.

I will have giveaways and a drawing for a gift certificate. If you are not in the market for a baby expo please share with someone that might need some extra love.
