Handmade by Michelle

The new challenge at A Blog Named Hero is a "love is in the air" colour palette - ombre purple to pink.


I used the Garden Tile Pattern from Hero Arts, along with the "hello stamp & cut" set.

I love this kaleidoscope die from Catherine Pooler - especially over an alcohol ink on yupo background!
I added a sentiment using dies from Pink and Main, and a stamp from Simon Says Stamp.

Is it just me, or do these flowers look like a heart when they're all coloured in the same colour? (Or have I just missed this for every other card I have made with this stamp?


I used the Blooming Bunch stamp set from Studio Katia, along with Zig markers, and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

I watched a video from Jennifer McGuire yesterday. She made over 20 cards, and aimed to use her supplies in ways that aren't immediately obvious. She used embossing folders and mentioned that they are underused. And a little light went off in my head that I hadn't used my Geometric Next Level embossing folders from We R Memory Keepers nearly as much as I should have. The other thing that made another light go off in my head was when Jennifer said that we should think outside the square and try to think about our supplies in different ways. She also has a drawer of partially completed pieces, scraps, leftovers - I have a folder. I pulled out the folder, and right on top was a piece of Yupo with alcohol inks on it. The rest is history.
I posted a video of the yupo piece on Instagram yesterday, and it was quite popular, so I had to make a card from the piece!


The friend die is from Studio Katia, and the sentiment stamp is from Simon Says Stamp. The thing I like most about this card is that it is touchy feely.

I was in dire need of a rainbow, so I made my own.


I used a floral bouquet stamp from Studio Katia, and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

Thanks for visiting :) 

I made a yupo rainbow and posted it on Instagram yesterday, and I had a few comments asking about how I made it, so I decided to make a video.


I used Tim Holtz Ranger alcohol inks on Yupo. The dies are from Altenew and Simon Says Stamp, and the sentiment stamp is from Birch Press Design.


And here's the video!

A very girly girl birthday card today!



I used a stamp from Studio Katia, coloured with Zig markers (dark pink, bright yellow, may green, green and light blue), with a sentiment from Birch Press Designs.


And I made a video!!


I'll be sharing this at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, where the theme is "Anything Goes".

I made this card on the same day I made a Valentine's Day card that I posted a couple of weeks ago. I used exactly the same technique, just different colours and a different sentiment.
Thee flowers are from Altenew, the die is from CAS-ual Fridays, and the stamped sentient is from Simon Says Stamp.
