CAS Father's Day

 

Forgive me for not posting for awhile, we are just up to our necks in end of school activities, field trips etc for the boys, but it has been fun an exciting.  Today is Jonathan's 5th grade promotion and picnic, where did the time go? Lots to catch you up on!

  

 I have not completed my video yet for these cards I made with Stately Flowers 6, but I wanted to go ahead and show them now so you can get buys creating, with Father's Day a few weeks away.  These can both be made under 10 minutes!  After photographing, I wished I'd done a Dusty Sage or Warm Cocoa base, but I was really trying to keep supplies for you to a minimum. Pine cone is stamped in Dark Sage and colored with just two Copics, E43 and E37, on both cards.

 

This second card uses the Inspiration Mosaic, stamping the Stately Flowers 6 pine cone over the frame, and then using a spotlighting technique that is covered in my new book Fabulous Stamped Frames (this project is not actually in the book, just the technique, demonstrated with other sets from my frame series.)  Isn't that a great look?

Hope this inspires!

I *will* be back with a video for these, promise, have all the supplies at the ready, just didn't have the camera charged the other day and then had to dash out the door...!

Hugs, have a terrific weekend!!

Wow! Extra 15% off

So I saw that through tomorrow night, at Annie's Attic you can take an extra 15% off clearance items which are already on sale, including some wonderful papercrafting books AND my A Year of Flowers, that is the lowest price you'll find anywhere*! Think I might have to throw a few of those in ym cart, too, like the Mini Cards or Smashbook or Spellbinders (15% off 1.99, what what??)  Cause I already have my book, ya know?! And "A to Z"...) ;)

Check it out!  But before you *check out*, check out my new book Fabulous Stamped Frames! :)

 

Thanks for all your feedback on my videos!  More soon!  Hope you enjoyed the sale!

New A Year of Flowers 2 Video

 
Thanks everyone for the wonderful feedback for my Pretty Patterns 2 video, I'm so glad you are all finding them so helpful! (It sold out yesterday, but Gina will be ordering more! You can also create similar effects with the stamps in Pretty Patterns)

Today's short video shows how I took a project from my first book A Year of Flowers, and updated the card with just a few changes using my new A Year of Flowers 2 set,
for an entirely different look. This also includes a brief introduction to my first book A Year of Flowers.   I also share the watercolor Copic coloring look I did in my first two A Year of Flowers 2 videos (which can find on myYoutube channel), this time with a different flower from the set.  This card start to finish can be made in under 10 minutes.  Please enjoy!
