Sweet Sentiment Retreat

This past week, I attended an in-person Sweet Sentiment retreat in Idaho. My friend Tonia joined me, and it was the first time I’ve seen her in person in over four years. It was such a treat! The retreat was full of so many fun things, and goodies were overflowing. The light up card was […]

Snowy Swap

For a snowy-themed ATC swap sponsored by Sweet Sentiment, I chose to use their cute moose image. of course I used Copic markers to color the image. The background is the Rustic Trees stencil from Simple Stories, and I used Distress Ink to color it. I used Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff for the snow. If […]

Holiday Cards

I’m not sure where the time went, but it’s time for Christmas cards again. Here is one with a little Charlie Brown-ish tree, sagging from the weight of one lonely ornament. It’s colored with Copic markers, and layered with patterned paper on a white card base. Simple, but cute.

Edgar Allan Poe

Another day, another ATC swap! Once again at atcsforall, this one is all about Edgar Allan Poe. The images are from Kindred Stamps, and are colored with Copic markers. The Poe image is popped up on an action wobble. I printed The Raven on a piece of cardstock and used that as the background for […]

Haunted Mansion

For another ATC swap at atcsforall, the theme was Ghosts Among Us. I decided to use characters from Disney’s Haunted Mansion. The images are from Kindred Stamps, and are colored with Copic markers. The backgrounds are hand drawn, except for the Doom Buggy card, which uses a patterned paper for the background.

Classic Halloween Characters

I found these old Stampin’ Up stamps in my closet, along with some old Stampin’ Up paper, and decided to do a few more Halloween ATCs. Here are Dracula, a witch, and Frankenstein, colored with Copics and heat embossed accents.

Pumpkin Spice

I chose to use a sweet little stamp from Unity Stamps for a pumpkin themed atc swap with Sweet Sentiment. The pumpkin is popped up on the card with foam tape, and there is burlap and hemp twine for a bit of texture. The image is colored with Copic markers, and the sentiment is heat […]

Spooky

It’s that time of year when I start thinking of all things scary and spooky. I made these artist trading cards just for the heck of it. The words and phrases come from two of my all-time favorite books, A Wrinkle in Time and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. For all the book lovers out […]

Sweet Sentiment Surf’s Up Retreat

This weekend I participated in the Sweet Sentiment Surf’s Up Retreat. I cannot say enough good things about Sweet Sentiment, and this virtual retreat was fantastic. Some digital images were provided, but the majority of the supplies were things I already had in my craft stash. The pacing was great. There were well-timed breaks throughout […]

Autumn Leaves

Fall is in the air. The temperatures are finally below 100 degrees here in southwest Utah. I’m thinking of the midwest, where the maple leaves will start turning yellow and red soon, and the air will be crisp. For this autumn colors swap at atcsforall, I decided to die cut leaf shapes out of different […]
