Grand Re-Opening of my Etsy Shop!

Hello and welcome to my blog! I just wanted to pop in real quick to let you know that today is the Grand Re-Opening of my Etsy shop Sara Anne Creations. You can find a link to my shop under my photo to the right. I would love for you to stop by and take a look around! I hope you are all having a fabulous Friday and I will see you soon!!

Gansai Tambi and Pretty Peonies

Hello and Happy Monday, I hope you are all doing well. Today I have a Gansai Tambi water colored card for you. I recently posted this card on the MISTIfans Facebook group which is geared toward those who own a MISTI stamping tool, looking into getting a MISTI stamping tool and those who share a common love for all things creative.

When I posted this card I was overwhelmed and touched by the responses I got, especially by all the requests to make a video tutorial showing how I made it. So in response to all those kind comments I decided to press the record button...I hope that you enjoy and that it inspires you to do some watercoloring of your own!

Hello Card - Avery Elle & Mama Elephant

Hello and happy Wednesday to you all, I hope you are doing well! For todays card/video I wanted to focus on creating a more gender neutral card that could be customized for a man or a woman depending on the colors you choose to use, so this is what I came up with.

As you can see today's card is very simple yet by adding a few little details like the wink of stella glitter brush pen, glossy accents and some black enamel dots, it really brings the card to life. I also love that by stamping my images slightly different from their originally "intended" purpose I can get a completely different look and it adds a ton more interest to the card.
I hope you enjoyed today's card/tutorial and I would love to hear about ways you use your stamps and crafting supplies other than what they were originally intended for!
