Just Breathe into Fall
Card #5 in my series takes a peaceful turn with this fall-inspired design using the Fall and Halloween Dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with Tim Holtz stamps. 🍁 I used watercolor markers directly on the leaf stamps, misted them with water, and pressed them onto watercolor paper for a loose, organic effect. The “Just Breathe” sentiment from a past release pulls it all together with quiet, autumn calm. 🍂✨
S’more Fun with Friends
Campfire vibes and critter cuteness? Yes, please! 🏕️ I created this playful scene using products from Simon Says Stamp’s new “Happy Camper” release. The critters, tent, and camper were colored with Copic markers, while the softly blended background sets the scene. It’s the perfect reminder that everything is s’more fun with friends! 🔥💚
Sending Joy on Paper Sails
This cheerful card was inspired by my talented friend Maggie (@teacher11494), whose geometric designs always spark ideas! I paired her style with Spellbinders’ August Stamp and Die of the Month and the Embossing Folder of the Month to create a clean and colorful layout. The ink-blended blocks bring in playful color, while the layered textures and stamped paper sailboat add charm and movement. It’s a fun mix of whimsy and bold design!
It’s OK to Float Awhile
Need a reminder to pause and breathe? This vibrant handmade card features the August Stamp and Die of the Month Club from Spellbinders. I created the background using my favorite Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers for a bold, expressive splash of color 🌈. That message-in-a-bottle scene? It’s the perfect little escape. 💙
