Today I am excited to share with you a technique I am calling Bubble Up! It is a fun technique that uses bubbles and re-inkers. There are several videos on the internet using dishwashing soap, water, and re-inkers. I just found it a bit easier to use already prepared bubble from the dollar store. I hope you enjoy this fun technique. It is certainly one you can do outside with your kids this summer.
This is one of those techniques that turns out different every time so have fun playing around with different colors. Let me know in the comments what you think about this technique. If you try this at home and I hope that you will, please consider sharing your projects with us. Happy Stamping!

A few Sundays ago my friend Laura Rossmann taught a watercolor class in my home. What a great technique and it was so much fun to see all the colorful backgrounds everyone created. Laura inspired me to use this technique to create a few watercolor backgrounds of my own and I thought I would share them with you in this week’s Make It Monday tutorial. Thanks Laura, you are a great teacher!
I used our Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, a Daffodil Delight spot, a Garden Green spot, and a Blueberry Bushel spot to create the background for my first two cards. You can do all colors at once or individually. Be sure to let your cardstock dry complete between colors and before you stamp and assemble your final panels. I added a few silver pearls to my first card.
For my third card I again used our Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, a Daffodil Delight spot, a Gorgeous Grape spot and a Balmy Blue spot. Your final project really does depend on the color combo that you choose and also where you place your paper on the the color palette you create. It is so fun to see how the final project turns out once it dries completely.
I used the Night Divine stamp set on all three cards and I stamped the greetings with Night of Navy and Memento Black ink. Again be sure that your project is completely dry before stamping and assembling your final project. I decided to add a few very small pearls to my last card but you could also use some colored gems.
Laura’s class inspired me and I hope my cards today inspire you to play around with this technique and create something unique and beautiful. Happy Stamping!

Today I am excited to share with you 10 cards using the One Sheet Wonder technique and the new Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper pack. The template I am sharing with you was created by Rhonda Wade. Thanks Rhonda. Paper. I cannot remember exactly when I first used this template or even what Rhonda’s cards looked like, but that is the beauty of our One Sheet Wonders, they always look different. Just change out the paper, stamp set and embellishments and it becomes all new! You can find am image of the cutting template at the end of this post.
Here is a closer look at our parade of cards today. I hope you enjoyed this video tutorial. Have fun with this One Sheet Wonder template and create something beautiful to share with others.

It is almost Easter so I thought I would share with you this super cute bunny card. This card looks really complicated but it isn’t. Time consuming maybe, but trust me it is not hard. I used the Easter Bunny and the Rejoice in Him sets.
I started with a Crumb Cake card and added a layer of Early Espresso CS and then a layer of Pear Pizzazz that I embossed with the new Cane Weave embossing folder. These adorable bunnies were stamped on Crumb Cake CS and colored with colored pencils and a Blender Pen. I used Early Espresso, Basic Gray, and Basic White pencils. This is a water coloring technique that is perfect for shading these bunnies.
And oh, a little pink for the ears. To create the white fur on the bunnies back I used a watercolor painter and some Basic White Craft ink. I stamped the greeting with Night of Navy ink and fussy cut it out with my paper snips. Happy Stamping!

Create 9 different card designs with perfect borders every time. In today’s video, I will share different cutting measurements to create a variety of perfect borders around your sentiments or stamped images. This super simple technique will add a whole new dimension to your cards, especially if you are making your greeting the focal point.
I hope this fun technique of using 3 basic borders and minimal supplies will make your card creating easier. In all of my samples, I used the same greeting, but this technique will work for any stamped image you want to make the focal point of your card. Add some bling and really step it up! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
