Cake? - stencilling, watercolour marker


The best part of a birthcake day is the cake!



My birthday card features stencils and stamps from Newton's Nook, Cosmic Shimmer, Nuvo mousse, and Distress markers.

Movies - shadow box, watercolour marker, stencilling


As a change up from cards, I decided to do a shadowbox to put by our TV as an homage to the movies we watch together. The shadowbox features an adorable stamp set and a stencil from Newton's Nook with Distress marker colouring, Liquid Applique for dimension, Kaiserkraft paper, and an Elizabeth Craft Designs die for the frame.

Ballerina - TTCRD, mixed media


This week's sponsor for the Through The Craftroom Door challenge is Gecko Galz!


Gecko Galz is a digital craft products shop that was started by a group of paper artist and designers who wanted products that they could not find anywhere else. They wanted to bring their love of paper arts and altered art works to others and inspire them with beautiful papers, stamps and ephemera. The idea of Gecko Galz came to fruition in 2012 when they opened their shop on Etsy and since then have offered hundreds of products, ideas and classes to others

For my inspiration project, I decided to use the Ballerina Girls collage sheet to make a mixed media plaque using a Kaisercraft frame, chipboard filigree from Southern Ridge Trading Company, paints and waxes from Prima and Ranger, Nuvo drops, a Tim Holtz wing, and beaded stick pins.

Dogwood - die cutting, flower shaping


We recently found out our former neighbour has cancer. I made this card for her for us and our other neighbours to send to her. Our little street is dotted with dogwood trees, so I wanted to have them prominent on the card for her. The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, the dogwood die is Spellbinders.
