ARC Crafts Booth for CHA2016

I love the craft industry and am LUCKY to be able to work in this industry in various ways. I designed the ARC Crafts CHA2016 booth and projects samples - tons of hours over the last 3 months of 2015. My Craft Channel did a little product highlight video (which I am unable to embed?), you can see some of my work showcased in the video here.

I created over 50 samples for their booth. Here are a few of my favorites.

And here are a few images of the signage. I didn't attend the show this year so I was unable to get a cool shot of the entire booth laid out - but they say it looked good. :)

Botanicals For You

Another fun Botanicals For You card that uses a similar technique as seen on these cards I showcased earlier in the month. Basically ... stamp, spritz, emboss.

INK BUG - return Swaps from Occasions 2016 mini catalog

As promised! Here is a picture of the super creative swaps I received from the latest INK Bug swap. Be inspired! In case you missed it ... here is the card I made for swapping.

Botanical Blooms - WWYS #52

The challenge set for this week is Botanical Blooms. For me, It's all about the Botanicals. I paired Botanical Blooms and the Botanicals for You stamp sets to create this card for this week's What Will You Stamp challenge.

My card this week shows a marker and spritz inking technique. I added ink with a marker to the Just For You stamp; Cajun Craze on top and Delightful Dijon on the bottom. Then I spritzed the back of the stamp with the stamping Spritzer and immediately stamped onto whisper white card stock to achieve this ink bleed effect. This is a fun technique to play around with as you never really get the same effect twice.
