Thank you for joining us for the July Pals Blog Hop to celebrate the 2013-15 In Colors! Are you ready to see wonderful creations made with Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar and Coastal Cabana? We all love to make these projects, we hope you enjoy viewing them.

I went out of my comfort zone to try something new – Watercoloring. If you know me well, you know I stayed as far as I could from it. I didn’t want to deal with color mixing and matching. Then, I sad, oh, what the heck, let’s just have some fun… and I did!

Scraps & Stamps TIPS:

– This card not only shows the watercolor technique but also shows heat-embossing resist technique. Make sure to read through the tips!

– Talk about the lovely stamped images! The Damask image is from our brand-new Best of Shelli Stamp Set (#133488) and the sentiment is from the Cuddles & Kisses Stamp Set (W#131913 C#127314). I stamped both images with our Versa Mark Ink Pad (#102283) and heat-embossed with Clear Embossing Powder (#109130).

– On top of the embossed images, I used the Aqua Painters (#103954) to watercolor with our 2013-2015 In colors to color the main part of the card. Those painters were easy to control the intensity of the colors and very easy to use in general. I am going to do a QFQT video on them this Friday so make sure to check in!

– Don’t you just LOVE the vibrant colors in this 2013-2015 In Colors group? With all of our coordinating colors, it was so easy to use them all together, without much hassle in color choosing.  I used Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush together and used Pistachio Pudding and Coastal Cabana together for the sentiment. Baked Brown Sugar is a card base for this project.

– One more important tip! Make sure to use our Watercolor Paper (#122959) when playing with water. It is think and very durable when the paper meets water and you will never have to worry about ruining the paper!

Thank you for stopping by! The next stop is Peggy Noe at Prettypapercards.com, stop number 11 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting – and I hope to see you next month!

    May the new year is a much brighter and happier one for all of us- Happy New Year 💕

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches
    Hello, beautiful! (Yes, you!) ❤️ Spring (or summer) floral wreath 🌼🌺 - created effortlessly with brand new stamp from #altenew 💕 sending early summer warmth to your way, hope you are having a great week! 🥰🥰 #scrapsandstamps #handmadecards #handmade #cardmaking #layeredstamping #altenewblossomwreath
    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
