Today I'm back with another birdhouse Christmas card. This time I'm combining the Snowy Birdhouse Embossing Folder and Die with the Friendly Birds Embossing Folder and Die for this sweet scene card! The magic here is coloring over the embossed areas with Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils. The pencils are a fantastic medium to add detail to the textured die cuts and background!

I knew when I saw this absolutely darling stamp set from Pink & Main I had to create something super fun with it! I love, love, love this marshmallow snowmen! I paired these cuties and sentiments from the stamp set with dies from my stash to make some super cute gift tag ornaments! Whether you tie these on a package or give them as a gift, these cuties are sure to put a smile on the face of the recipient!

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
Thanks to everyone who joined me today! I had a blast visiting with everyone. ❤️

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing my ink swatches for the Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks plus a bonus butterfly canvas project! A few weeks ago I swatched all 60 of the Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks on the SSS Swatch Blanks with the SSS Swatch Stamps. I love this method of swatching my inks and find it so helpful when figuring out colors for a project. I labeled each swatch with the Brother P-Touch Label Maker and keep all the swatch on Binder Ring(s). In addition to the ink swatches I decided to share a fun home decor project that's been on my heart for awhile. I decorated a 10" canvas with a scattering of embossed and die cut Graceful Butterflies, each inked with a trio of Pawsitively Saturated Inks, added some Foundry Wax Gilded to the edges and glued them to the canvas. Keep reading and watch the video below for all the details!

For the 10" square canvas, I sprayed Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Spray, let it sit for a few minutes before taking a dry rag and swiping the ink into the canvas. I think a similar effect could be achieved (although, likely darker) with Distress Paint. Once dry, the canvas was splattered with white gouache and allowed to air dry.
