Easy Watercolor Background Techniques using Stampin' Up! Inks

Oh my gosh golly, I have been having too much fun playing with all the new inks and colors from Stampin' Up!  And while I love these great products, these techniques would probably work with other die based inks.  Just want to warn you, it's pretty addictive.  And you may get a little color on yours hands...of course, I consider that an added bonus, lololol.

So, anywho, here are a few closeups of some of the cards I made with the backgrounds. The how-to video is posted above.  I loved using the rich inks from Stampin' Up!.  The colors are so vibrant and intense.  I hope you enjoy. 

The gorgeous dragonflies you see on several of the items are made with the gorgeousDetailed Dragonfly Dies and Dragonfly Dreams Stamps.  I just love using these.  I haven't even played with largest one or the bee yet!  Just can't wait!

And if you are interested in any of these items, be sure to visit my online store HERE.

 So, as always...have fun crafting!

Freebie Fun and Easy Printables with Summer Font Bundle

The Hungry Jpeg is a super fun website I was introduced to recently.  Now I am usually not one to pay for fonts.  I mean with all the great websites around with 1000's of free fonts just waiting to be downloaded.  BUT, I was on the hunt for some fatter  fonts, ones that I could play with for great looking scrapbook layout titles and this special buy from thehungryjpeg really tickled my fancy. 




This huge Summer Bundle came with 

• 28 fonts and 
• 19 graphics packages.  
• Can be used for personal AND commercial projects. Great for DIY Etsy / craft fair projects!  

The fonts were great by themselves, but the graphics are up to the minute watercolor flowers and icons and backgrounds, even have bunting and pennants! So how could I resist? And you may want to share this post with everyone you know who loves fonts and freebies!  ( buttons at bottom of post to make it easy peasey)  


Okay, enough trying to justify spending $29 on this digital download, but I wanted to make and cut some fun and easy titles with my Cricut Explore.  


But before I started making titles, I wanted to play with the graphics and fonts and made myself some very cool inspirational 12 x 12 inch wall art for my craft room.  ( I printed on my HP wide format printer, but you can resize to suit your needs)  So I wanted to share the FREEBIE printables.    It really really is super easy.  Hope you enjoy!

Then I played with making some artwork for children and baby rooms.  Just having fun...now about those Cricut scrapbook titles...

Coming soon!  

Let me know if there is a special scrapbook title you would like me to make when I get to playing!

Thanks and have fun creating!
