Spotlight Focus | Essentials by Ellen

Ever have an idea in your head and then when you start working on it, it already looks off? It always happens for me but I power through because I want to see how it turns out. Spoiler alert – most of the time, it turns out ok but you wouldn’t know unless you tried it!

Non-Holiday Card | Honey Bee Stamp (Stamptember)

Scene Building | Stamptember feat. Honey Bee Stamps

It’s Stamptember! I’m so excited to be a part of this crafty month that has always intrigued me with the element of surprise all month long — Today’s set features Honey Bee Stamps and a fun wintery set. I’m using it here for a wintery, holiday scene. Remember, if you like this set — grab it as soon as you can, because these sets usually sell out fast and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Masuline card? | Erin Lee Creative

I have such a hard time with masculine cards — usually the trick is to keep it simple with no frills but I couldn’t help but add a little gold splatter…

Stencil Scene Building | Pretty Pink Posh

Stencils are generally a low cost alternative to stamps — but now there’s layering stencils — sometimes coordinating stamps and dies. I don’t have the Pretty Pink Posh Across the Miles stamp set but I was able to use the Layered Cars Stencil to create a background scene for these Summer Friends.

Rainbow Blending | Honey Bee Stamps

The best part of cardmaking is that you can make anything any color you want. Even though Rainbow Tulips are actually a thing, I haven’t seen them and I decided that these had to be rainbow colored. Just a bit of purposeful ink blending and Voila! a colorful bunch of florals ready to go for a card.

Rainbow Watercoloring | Essentials by Ellen

Here’s a trick for creating card when you don’t want to color. I’m not a pro at watercolors but I definitely can create a rainbow look, which is what I did here. I stepped away because I thought it was too bright but I powered through and created a card that normally isn’t my style — I kinda love how it turned out.

Black & White | Honey Bee Stamps

Black and white cards are so understated — sure, I tossed in a bit of color for this one but it still packs a punch with those two colors. Honestly, I made this card using a pop of color instead of the subtle green found in the succulents and it was too busy. I reverted back and stuck with the simple colors.
