I’ve been in a die cutting sort of mood, so I pulled out some concord and 9th die sets and had some crafty fun. I wanted to make a fun, fall thank you card that wasn’t oranges and reds and I think I pulled it off with pinks and purples. I wasn’t sure about the almond in this color palette, but

I made this cute little junk journal using the print feature on my xtool m2. I was able to print my designs directly on each page so I didn’t have to worry about creating my own binding system and the colors were just perfect for my project. @xTool Official US #cruise #junkjournal #xtoolm2 #

Shhh- this simple card is hiding a secret! I took the Canvas Blossom Layering Stencil set and colored it using the guide included with the packaging. Then, I layered it on the Flourishing Coral stencil panel that I prepped using the iridescent glitter relief paste. Then, comes the secret! The c

I printed this sketch based on a photo I took with my m2 xtool laser cutter- it came out perfect for painting on the go. I used Altenew watercolors to paint my sketch and the metallics were absolutely perfect for this one. @Altenew I started the painting on the high seas while we sailed towards

Painted this in under 20 minutes while floating in the middle of the ocean 🌊✨ This lily came straight from the Altenew Botanical Elegance Watercolor Coloring Book, colored in with the Metallic Watercolor Palette on my Watercolor Palette for mixing. No sketching, no stamping, just pure color-in-a

Wait. Is that on a PAPER TOWEL?! 🪷 Yes. Yes it is. And I am not even a little sorry about it. When you’re testing your ink blending technique and the paper towel turns into actual art, you don’t throw it away. You photograph it and post it to the internet like a completely normal person. T

Stealing hearts, not gold. This Robin Hood notebook came straight off my xTool M2 and I still cannot get over how clean the color prints on a cover. No vinyl, no transfer paper, no fuss. Just place it down and let the machine do the work. The fox version of Robin Hood has lived in my head since

There’s a little bit of magic that happens the moment water touches a watercolor pencil. One second you have soft, dry color sitting on the paper, and the next it’s blooming and flowing into something completely new. I stamped this floral from Altenew, layered in my Staedtler watercolor pencils,

Sometimes the best craft room has @STAEDTLER @STAEDTLER North America @Altenew an ocean view. I packed light this trip but my Staedtler watercolor pencils made the cut, and I’m so glad they did. There’s something about stamping a floral image from Altenew and slowly bringing it to life with a li

Craft with me while we watch the sunset at sea. Watch me watercolor while the sun sets over the ocean on the carnival vista leaving San Juan. I am using Staedtler watercolor pencils to color an Altenew stamp that I will use to make a card when I return home from our cruise. #cardmaking
