When I first got the new Annual Catalog from Stampin' Up! one of the first stamps I fell in love with was 'Walk in the Woods'. Mostly because of the adorable hedgehog! It is just so cute! I like the mushrooms too, and the art style of the images, but that hedgehog!! Had to have him.
I started by first making a card pretty much copied right out of the catalog, but then I branched out and made a whole bunch more!
This video shows you several of the cards I came up with, as well as how to make them.
I really enjoyed playing around with this cute stamp set. I made sure to use all of the images and most of the sentiments. I made some very simple and some with a little more work. I hope you enjoy them! Which do you like the best?

Hi everyone. I was honored to be asked once again to make a tutorial for SplitcoastStampers, one of my all time favorite websites! This time they asked me to make a tutorial for a card I made a few years back where I painted with coffee! I love painting with coffee, maybe it's the smell that it gives off while I work or just that it's my favorite drink, but it's a fun idea and people get a kick out it when they receive a coffee painted card, so I just love doing it. I hope that you will give it a try.
You can find my tutorial here at the SplitcoastStampers website. https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/coffeepainting There are step by step instructions as well as a video that I made.
If you do give it a try, please add your creation to the gallery, I would love to see it!
My tutorial card uses a stamp called Coffee Cafe by Stampin' Up!. I also made another card by just painting free hand.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial, leave me some love if you check it out!
Hi Everyone! I am super happy to be a guest tutorial writer at SplitcoastStampers.com. I have loved this site for about 13 years and use their tutorials and gallery all the time for inspiration, so being a part of it is just a thrill.
I was asked to share the Dappled Sky Technique. This is a fun and EASY watercolor background that gives you really fun results. This is the card I did for my tutorial. I hope that you will check it out, and maybe give me some love in the comments 'cause it's my first guest spot and maybe they'll invite me back :) Check it out by clicking the link. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/dappledwatercolorbackground
And here are some other samples I made with this technique!
This is one I made this past Christmas. Instead of using the whole background, I punched out a circle for a fun winter scene.
When I made this background it said space to me. So I made a moon to go along with it. I made the moon by punching a circle out of watercolor paper, then getting it wet with a little Smokey Slate. Next I flicked more Smokey Slate on top for the fun moon caters and texture.
The Weather Together set is perfect for this technique.
On this one I just made a small strip of the technique in Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry and then cut it out with the Tail from the Fox Builder Punch.
On this one I used Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party and used it as water.
And on this last version I used Tranquil Tide for the background, then flicked Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist on top.
Let me know what you think!
I have another older video on my YouTube Channel that shows this technique on even more samples. you can see it here...

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to show you this super fun new stamp set called This Little Piggy! I was lucky enough to receive this set at the Stampin' Up! On Stage event this past April! So Fun! It's such a cute set and I couldn't wait to ink it up!
My favorite pig from this set is the flying pig. I love the saying that goes with it, "She Believed She Could, So She Did." I have a little wall art with that saying in my craft room, so I knew that was the pig to use first. I decided to make a big of a whimsical card, with the cut out words and the watercolor background. This would be cute note card to send to a girl friend or even a cute note card set as a gift.
I used the No-Line water coloring technique on this card. This is a fun look and easily achieved. I used Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party markers to ink up the pig image, then stamped onto watercolor paper. I then used Aqua Painters and the same color ink to color in the pig.
Check out the video below to see the process step by step.
