Paint Sample Christmas Tree Card

I have lots of paint sample scraps left over from different projects.



This was a fun way to use a few to make a holiday card. All you need is a circle hole punch (I used 3/4"), glue, and paint sample cards.

Making paint sample coasters continues to be a fun way for me to experiment with different color combinations and to participate in Etsy's regular color specific features.


Yay for paint samples!

Christmas Owls for Postcards

Hello friends and owl-lovers,
This year, I plan to make Christmas cards using 4 owl collage images. My plan is to make postcards and sell them in packages of 4 or more. Postcards in bulk are relatively inexpensive, and therefore I can pass the savings on to you! If interest is high, I will consider doing 6 images rather than 4.

Below is image number one. My plan is to do 2 with red and green as the predominant colors, one with blue and white with some green, and one multicolor (that is the one below).

If you think you might be interested in purchasing sets of these postcards as your holiday/new year's cards, leave me a comment with the number of cards you would consider purchasing. This will give me an idea of how many to have printed. The more cards that are printed, the cheaper they are! And the better bargain YOU will get, so if you like these images, tell your friends!

More owl collage images for you...

Peppermint Candy Patterned Paper

I'm not too happy with this year's commercially produced holiday patterned paper...too vintagey, too dark. Too much RED. Plus, I need smaller repeating pattens for collage work and I'm seeing too many large patterns or "scenes."

So, I'm making my own!! Have fun!

My first show!

If you're in the area, come downtown off the drag and visit me at my first show at the University Baptist Church at 22nd and Guadalupe! You can also find SweetWolf and StaceyWorld there as well. Hooray!

Holiday Cards Set 1 are Ready!

This card design is simple: 2 hand-carved stamps and 2 colors of pigment ink. The message inside says, "Peace on Earth." If you want to see more pictures, they are in the Blue Cake and Buttercup shop.
