Ladies Diary Card

So I have been attempting to use my scraps, and also get of my my anxiety issues when it comes to using my discontinued Graphic 45 collections.

I have two of the small 6x6 Ladies Diary pads that were available for a short time at Michaels craft stores.

I really adore the image from the title page in the pad, in fact I used it a couple of years ago for an altered canvas.

I made an A2 sized card using some scraps from the 12x12 pad and the image from the 6x6 pad for this lovely card.

I like simple cards that showcase one or two things. In my mind the image speaks for itself.

I also added some scrap jewels and a fabric flower that I had in my stash.

I love making cards because it helps me use up some of my smaller scraps.

For more cards you can check out my Etsy shop, Redcroft.

Thanks for stopping by!

No-Line Watercolor Card using Lawn Fawn

Hi everyone!! Today I am sharing a card I made using Lawn Fawn's Sweet Smiles stamp and coordinating die set. I made this card using the no-line watercolor technique. I have recently started using this technique and I cannot stop! I absolutely adore it!! You can see how I made the card in the video below: Please note that I was editing late on little sleep, and referred to this technique as the brushless watercolor technique. Oops. This is why I need copious amounts of coffee at all times. For this card I decided to try watercoloring with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. I super loved they way the watercolored, and I will definitely use them again for this. I'm fairly new to using Lawn Fawn stamps. I love all the cutesy, and I'm really enjoying using them in different ways. I have never been a stamper but I am so loving it! Thanks for stopping by! -AR

Feel Better Shaker Card

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing my very first shaker card!! I have been watching all kinds of videos on shaker cards and I have just been so inspired to make one myself. So I went to Michaels and Joann and bought everything I would possibly need for fillers (hooray for coupons!!) I was inspired to do a get well card for the 6th challenge on the Lawn Fawn Fanatics blog. I used the Baked with Love and the Treat Yourself stamp sets for this card. I am so happy with the way this card turned out. I love the colors, and I LOVE the shaker element. I will definitely be making more of these cards in the future!! If you want to see how I made this card please check out the video below: Thanks for stopping by! -A.R.

Life update

Hello all!! Sorry to have been a bit MIA the last little bit. Work has kept me pretty busy, and on top of that I was switching my studio from one area to another so that I had more space. Stay tuned for new projects and tutorials soon, and as always be sure to follow me on Instagram @Amrtlj to see what I’m doing or working on between blog posts. Thanks for stopping by! AR
