Lovely Christmas Inspiration with Karin


Something special is coming soon! You won’t want to miss it! Be sure to visit the blog tomorrow, November 2nd.

Karin joins us again today to share two lovely Christmas designs! They feature Merry Mistletoe and Holly Leaves Border!


Karin used watercolor paper to cut Merry Mistletoe, then she added watercolor to the delicate stems, berries and bow. She gold embossed the holiday greeting on a Stitched Rectangle before layering the mistletoe on a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle and popping it up on a stitched panel. This design is so elegant!



For her second card, Karin used the same design, changing the card to landscape. The Fancy Scalloped Rectangle is now a border for the water-colored Holly Leaves. And she gold embossed another sentiment from Christmas Before ‘n Afters.

Thank you so much for this gorgeous Christmas inspiration, Karin!

Karin’s Watercolor Ugly and Bright Card and a Clever Swatch Book!

September Inspiration Week is just around the corner, and we are so excited! We will be highlighting all the fun holiday sets from the Fall & Winter 2022 Release! Be sure to join us for Design Team Inspiration, intro videos and daily giveaways! See you on the 14th for the Big Giveaway!

Today Karin joins us to share a lovely watercolor card featuring Ugly and Bright. She also created a handy watercolor swatch book project.

Karin’s simply beautiful Christmas card features a sweater from Ugly and Bright. First, she stamped it with Distress Ink in Antique Linen before adding pretty water coloring! And then she layered it on a Lacy Heart Stackable which she also water colored.

She spelled out Noel with Henry’s ABCs, stamping the letters with the sweater to coordinate with the focal image. To finish this lovely design, Karin then attached the sweater and letters to a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle.

Karin is an accomplished watercolor artist, check out her artwork on Instagram HERE. She created a handy portable swatch book to take along on her Plein Air painting adventures. Using a Mini Notebook and Art Supplies Lawn Cuts she gave her travel palette sweet details!

Then inside the book she used the paint tube die to swatch the different colors of watercolor paint she uses. Here she has room for making notes.

This lovely design would be perfect for creating a card for a friend who loves to watercolor! Simply use Gotta Have Gingham Rainbow paper for the background. Then add the pretty arrangement of Art Supplies on a Lacy Heart Stackable!

Thank you so much for your beautiful inspiration today, Karin! I love your wonderful watercolor projects!

Karin’s Beautiful Gift Card Heart Envelope Card

Happy Monday and Happy first day of August! Today, Karin shares a beautiful way to send a gift card! She added Gift Card Heart Envelope to her lovely card design.

Karin’s personalized design is great for sending a birthday or congrats gift card! Add another Cole’s ABCs letter to use for a wedding or anniversary! She used Spring Sprig as a pretty decoration.

The Gift Card Heart Envelope die set includes the small fancy scalloped rectangle and “for you” sentiment. Karin added more flowers from Spring Sprig!

I just love how pretty the white Textured Dot cardstock looks with the Fancy Scalloped Rectangle. To take this design up a notch, Karin used Gold Metallic cardstock to the monogram and sentiment!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful card design with us, Karin!
