Advent Calendar 2023 Cards Papercraft Society
Okay, I'm just a year behind! :) I love Papercraft Society monthly box kits. Having said that, last year's advent calendar did not impress me. I gave it a year rest and decided to make some cards. I just didn't have inspiration last year. Perhaps this year's offering is better? Comment if you grabbed the one from 2024! Anyway, I made some fun cards that would be great for kids! The flamingo on craft paper was colored with colored pencils. These are definitely not my style, but I think kids ... View the Post
Heat Embossing & Colored Pencils on Black Paper
Drama alert! :) If you want some luxury-looking cards, try out this technique!

Use clear embossing ink through a ... View the Post

Papercraft Society & Distress Watercolor Pencils
I keep trying to love these Tim Holtz Distress watercolor pencils. I have sets one through three. I do love the Distress color line, and often used the sprays and ink pads. These pencils look so pretty in their little tins. :) I grabbed an older Papercraft Society box, as I have been churning out a fair deal of cards lately. I smooshed some liquid ink on Bristol paper. I stamped the image on a piece of sturdy cardstock and used the pencils to color. I used a Tonic Studios shimmer pen to add ... View the Post
Mixed Media Board
Sometimes, you just have to collage. There are days when I don't have a plan, or am not feeling well enough to be creative. Making a mixed media "board" is the perfect thing to do! I used mixed media paper, taped it off to create two sections, and started by gluing down some gel-printed rice paper. The steps are as you see below in the following pictures. I added gesso, scaped soft pastels and activated with water, stamped, and splattered. I removed the tape and ended up with ... View the Post
