Libby and I spent the fourth of July CRAFTING! Yup, I cannot think of a better way to spend a holiday. 

We were inspired by this pin -> pin link

We liked the heat embossed, sponged daisies on this pin. 

This is a quick walkthrough, enjoy!

I had so much fun getting all inky making this year's 4th of July cards! Check out what I came up with in this video, Enjoy!

I managed to crank this kit out in record time while running out to assist hub with our main cabin AC issue in the trailer. 

I finally had to ask to be relieved of duty so I could finish this off and by the time I sat down with uninterrupted time planned, I'd managed to create loads of layouts.

This is a good kit, with a few great coordinating supplies.

Ironically I didn't...

I loved making this card! Yes, it is all retired products, coloring is coloring on whatever it goes on right?

I fully documented the colored pencils I used to color on this card, that video is on my new coloring channel at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTNFvhladqM I used the Castle Arts Gold pencils.

Here's the inspiration pin for this fun birthday card. - > Link

A nice short video today, Enjoy!

This unfinished card class project just needed a final back layer to finish the floral elements and a sentiment.

I had so much fun trying out the new 2023 color refresh colors, see how I fine tuned this lovely card, enjoy!

I love how this DSP coloring test using the Castle Arts colored pencils came out. It inspired me to share your current 2023 colorable DSP options.

Today's walkthrough card really came together nicely. I love when that happens!

I do discuss a small glue mishap, something I've not done before.

The one thing I dread is making a bunch of the exact same cards. Swaps are worth the effort because in exchange for a group of the exact same card, I get that number minus one (for the host) different cards in return!

For this particular swap, I waited until the very .last. minute hoping that my second order would arrive, thus giving me more options. By the day I was scheduled to mail...

This is the first of three card walkthroughs saying goodbye to these two lovely coordinating products. 

Included is a sneak peek from the 2023 annual catalog that goes live in May.

Enjoy!

Here is the final Hello Irresistible online exclusive card walkthrough.

I finish up with a quick demo on how I tie a multistrand twine bow.

Enjoy!
