    Christmas with Brusho and Infusions

    Hi everyone, today I'm on The Crafter's Workshop blog with another Christmas card, as I promised a couple of weeks ago: I used the same stencils as on the previous cards (those you can find HERE) but in a totally different way, which shows how versatile these stencils are! -------------------------------- The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project. The opinions I share are solely my own. -------------------------------- I took step by step pic

    How to get your Christmas cards started?

    Hi everyone, we card makers usually like to start a bit early with our Christmas cards, so today I have some fun and easy Christmas cards for you to get your mojo flowing! I created two cards: the base for both cards is the same, the second card is taking the first card a little further. -------------------------------- The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project.

    Calender Month Series - July

    Hi everyone, today I have the next instalment of my Calender Month Series for you all! This page provides me with a light pastel green and a brighter middle green colour. July is a month that I associate with summer holidays (when you read this I'm actually on vacation!) and the best summer holidays for me personally are associated with mountains and/or the sea. Since I don’t have a favourable stamp with either of these themes I went for a pre-coloured image from one of the W

    Quietfire and Butterflies

    Hi everyone, today I have a different set of cards then usual for you all! I have had these stamps from Quietfire Designs for ages now but I don’t really use them, but I felt like using them today. To start my first card I stamped the saying on a piece of vellum using Versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger “Liquid Platinum” embossing powder. The stamp I used is called “Wheresoever You Go”. Next I cut a piece of patterned paper featuring muted flowers in different colours

    Life’s too short, Enjoy the Ride!

    Hi everyone, today I have a set of fun mixed media guy cards for you all (with Father's Day just around the corner this might give you some inspiration)! I love how vintage and distressed looking these cards turned out. To start my first card I die cut a piece of white card stock in the size I wanted with one of my stitched square Crea-Nest-Lies XXL dies. Then I partially stamped the Kaisercraft’s “Postmarks” stamp on a couple of area’s on this square with Versafine “Onyx Bla

    Creative Expressions vellum overlay card

    Hi everyone, today I have a set of fun cards for you using stamping and heat embossing on vellum. I started my first card by die cutting a stitched square with one of my Crea-Nest-Lies XXL dies from some Crafter’s Companion Watercolour Card. Then I used a Kite Stencil called “Gum Wapper Weav” and a foam applicator tool with Memento’s “Lulu Lavender” and Distress Ink “Dusty Concord” to create an ombre effect. I spritzed with some water to create a little bit of a distressed lo
