There are so many inspirations and even free tutorials that I found on YouTube as I learning and growing as paper-crafter. So thankful for those who share their talents with us. And today, I am sharing a card inspired by this Kristina Werner’s YouTube video how to stamp with distress inks & doodling.

Stamp I used is from Workshops on the Go® Kaleidoscope Cardmaking Kit from Close To My Heart.

I used Canson 140lbs Watercolor Paper as the card base. Then I stamped the balloons using Distress ink pads. I wet the inks using small Paintbrush (CTMH) to give watercolor look, dried them well with Craft Heater (CTMH).

Onc they all dried, I doodled the baloon outlines, strings and bows on them using Fine-Point Sharpie Marker. And then I stamped the sentiment with Black Exclusive Ink Pad (CTMH).

I finished the card with some Silver Glitter Gems enamel CTMH.

This is a one-layerd and quick cheerful card to make. For sure, I had so much fun making this card (and 3 more… And more…) I cannot stop making them… 😀

Mother’s Day is coming up and one of the ways to celebrate special moms is to send them handmade cards (and gifts, too!) 🙂

Today, I would like to share spin cards that I made. I got these White Daisy Circle spin cards and envelope (set of 10) and they are ready to be decorated with any stamps you have 🙂

First card, I used A Day For Mother and Wavy Blooms stamp set. I stamped the flowers using Black Archival Ink Pad and then I colored them using ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Markers: Lavender, Leaf Green and Sap Green. I used ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ Colorless Blender Marker to soften the purple colors to create the shadow. And the sentiment I stamped it using Topiary Mini Pigment Ink Pad.

Second card, I used A Day for Mother and My Mother stamp sets. I used Crystal Blue Exclusive Ink Pad to stamp the sentiment in the middle. And for the flowed and leaves, I used the Exclusive Ink pads from Whimsy coordinating colors: Flaxen, Sweet Leaf, Pixie and Thistle.

For the thirdcard, I am using the A Day for Mother and Blossoming Expressions stamp sets. I stamped them using Exclusive Inks Stamp pads: Topiary, Pear, Smoothie and Pixie.

On all cards, I added some Sparkle Clear Assortments. They are done. It is a quick and easy way of making cards using these spin card set. All you only need stamps, ink and some embellishments to decorate them. Also, they are one-layer cards that mail-friendly 🙂

I hope you find some inspirations to create today. Thank You for visiting and have a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a coffee-donut card using Treat of Friendship stamp set.

When you want to do some watercoloring or painting, it is always a good idea to have a big jar of water and paper towel close by.

First, I stamped the donut image on the Canson Watercolor paper with VersaMark™ Ink Pad, added some Ranger™ White Super Fine Embossing Powder, and heat set them using Craft Heater. And then I started colored them using Watercolor Pencils (Brown Bag, Chocolate, Sunkiss Yellow, Sunny Yellow, Holiday Red and Bubblegum). And then I wet them using the smallest size brush from Paintbrush Set.

When all images dried well, I colored the sprinkles using ShinHan Touch Twin markers (Marigold YR24, Golden Yellow Y222, and Peony Purple Y282).

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of vellum with Black Mini Pigment Ink Pad and added some Ranger™ White Super Fine Embossing Powder.

For the donut shadows, I used Grey Wool watercolor pencil with some water.

I finished the card with some Flamingo Enamel Dots.

Here the take 2…. I added some coffee ribbon fromAmerican Crafts. What do you think?

Thanks for visiting me today and have a fabulous Friday!!

Today I am super excited wanna a news with you. I am a guest at Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog. I’d love to thank Amy and the team for giving me an opportunity to share a little be about me there 🙂 I hope you’ll visit and leave some love.

And more coffee card today I made using this amazing coffee bundle set from Tim Holtz/Sizzix that I got at Michael’s store.

I embossed a piece of Canson Watercolor paper. Then on the Craft Mat, I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink and sprayed some water. Using some waterbrush, I mixed the ink and water and then I added the embossed paper in. And I used the waterbrush to add some more ink to cover the paper evenly.

For the cup and sentiment, I heat embossed them using Super Fine Ranger White Embossing Powder and then die cut them with the matching dies using my WRMk Evolution Advanced machine.

I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink using make up sponge and smeared it around the images using my finger while the ink still wet for some shadowing.

I made a bow out of American Crafts twine and added on the cup using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue. And I finished the card with some sparkle gems.
