When I was little, I always wanted to be an artist. I never had the patience to learn how to draw or paint though. That is why I love rubber stamping! It makes it so easy to create something beautiful and artistic without having to be able to draw or paint!

Today, I have three faux watercoloring techniques to share with you. These techniques are all easy and create beautiful results quickly! 

You can do these faux watercolor techniques with any bold image stamp. I chose the new Wildflower Path stamp set from Stampin' Up!® These cards are done in the same color scheme of Old Olive, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight.

I shared how to do these easy faux watercolor techniques in my YouTube live this week. If you missed it, check out the replay to see how easy these cards are to make. 

You'll find more information and the supply list below.

​So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

If you know me, you know that I love patterns and texture and layers! Today's spring cards have all of that and more. I'm playing with patterned paper using it for a background and also doing some paper piecing. 

These cards use the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set from Stampin' Up!® You can find them in the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog. These cards use lots of different cardmaking techniques. If you missed my live video, be sure to watch the replay to see exactly how these cards were made.

​You'll find all the dimensions and more info below. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Do you have lots of scraps of patterned paper? The Bargello card making technique is perfect for using up some of your paper scraps. For this card I used the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!® along with the Your Biggest Fan stamp set. 

I have more samples using this fun cardmaking technique below along with cutting dimensions and supply lists. Be sure to watch the video tutorial to see exactly how to make this handmade card.

Every Tuesday night, I'm live in my Facebook group and on YouTube with a fun cardmaking event using the supplies you have in your own stash. For the past two years, I've been doing Mystery Stamping each week. But in May, I'm going to switch things up every week:

• 1st Tuesday: Stamp with Me
• 2nd Tuesday: Technique Tuesday
• 3rd Tuesday: Mystery Stamping
• 4th Tuesday: Monthly Card Class & Game Night
• 5th Tuesday: Mystery Stamping

I hope you'll make plans to join me! Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I love easy fun fold cards, and the locking gate fold card design or interlocking gatefold takes a gate fold card and bumps it up a notch while still being super easy! I used the new Hello Beautiful stamp set from Stampin' Up!® and coordinating Beautiful Shapes dies to create these sample fun fold card designs.

I shared how to make a couple of these on my most recent YouTube Live. If you missed it, be sure to watch the replay so you can see exactly how to make this easy card. I walk you through all the steps and show you how to do the die-cutting and embossing using the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.

The best part? The Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine is 20% for March! What a fabulous deal. 

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

It can be hard making handmade cards for guys. The Cactus Cuties stamp set and Cactus Builder punch are perfect for making masculine cards when you pair them with neutral colors like Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, and Soft Succulent. These cards have a modern feel while appealing to everyone.

I also used a number of rubber stamping and card making techniques on these cards, like masking and embossing. You'll want to check out the video to see exactly how the demo card was made. 

All of the cutting dimensions for my demo card are below.

Don't forget, I'm live every Thursday evening at 8pm Eastern on YouTube with more fabulous card making ideas for you!

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.
