Country Gingham – Birthday Card

Maria Batastini

Today we’re making an easy birthday card using some retiring 6 x 6 Gingham Designer Series Paper. I love using colors that go together! So, we will be using a pop of color with the Real Red Ribbon (not retiring). I also like to mix and match stamp sets to get just the message I want to convey. In this case, we’ll be using “happy Birthday” from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, and “Life is better with a friend like you” from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. Finally, we’ll put a finishing touch with Pearl Basic Jewels. Most of these items are RETIRING soon!

Gate Fold Card – Hues of Happiness

Maria Batastini

Today we’re making an easy Gate Fold Card. We’ll be using the retiring Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper, and retiring Happiness Abounds Stamp Set. I love this paper! So sad to see it retire, but I will continue to use it and the other retiring products as much as I can. That way, you can see them in action while you can still get them.

Two Methods to Watercolor – Home Decor 

Maria Batastini

Hi this is Maria. Today we’re making a Home Decor framable art piece using two methods: Water Color Pencils with Blender Pens, and Ink Pads with Water Painters. I couldn’t decide how to color this, so we’re doing both and will decide later. This will look beautiful framed and displayed in my office.
