Gold Dipped Name Cards
There are a million ways to incorporate watercolor and gold into a pretty card and I’m on a mission to find them all! I started with a simple watercolor circle and added a few gold splatters to the background. Then, I used my silhouette machine to cut the recipients names’- this was a batch of…

Sympathy Calligraphy Card
I finally got to use my new Fine Tec gold paint- by adding masking fluid to this card using a calligraphy nib, then painting the strong gold block in the center and light shimmery gold on the top/bottom. It was really beautiful in person. Made this for a coworker who recently had a family member…

Pretty Layered Thank-You Card
This card was literally made in less than 3 minutes. I grabbed a few items from my stash that I’ve been hoarding (I LOVE that die cut cork wreath!) and stacked them in a cute bunch, then sewed them right onto the card front. It’s cards like these that end up being my favorite- quick,…

Pretty Envelopes Make the Card
Now that I’ve gotten into calligraphy more, I am more and more focused on the envelope and not just what’s inside. I’ve been having so much fun addressing the envelopes for my birthday cards this month and thank you cards for family.

January Birthday Cards
One of my goals for this year is to make sure I make/send birthday cards each month, to avoid missing anyone’s birthday. Even though I LOVE making cards, my biggest fault is actually filling out and sending them. You would not believe how many cards I haven’t sent in the past and are sitting in…

I found this “double-happiness” image and liked the idea! I matted the gold-foil image with black and red cardstock for a clean,…

Welcome Baby Boy- Watercolor Card
I made the watercolor card by handlettering “Congrats” in masking fluid, then using blues to watercolor before removing the mask. Then, I used my NEW Dr. Ph Martin’s white ink on these dark blue envelopes. I tried a wavy line to add some whimsy. I wish I had made it a bit more wavy to…

Sapphire Pears Watercolor Cards
How beautiful are these gorgeous pears? I was commissioned to make this card set for a woman who has a business called “Sapphire Pear”- hence, the blue theme. I hand-painted these, so there is a bit of variation from one card to the next, but I think that adds to the charm. I used a…

Hummingbird Watercolor
I had so much fun making these hummingbird watercolor cards. I used liquid masking fluid to get those perfectly crisp, consistent silhouettes on each card. The gift set I made had 10 cards in total- 5 in each color combo.

Magically Illustrated Christmas Card
I am really obsessed with illustrations lately- particularly super feminine or sketchy sorts. My favorite artist out there is Inslee… found the illustration featured on this card and knew it would be perfect for my sis. I printed it on cardstock, added some glitter to the black tights (totally picturing them with glitter) and added…
