I recently became a designer for Darby Smart and my first launch was a boxed set of Christmas cards with my original designs on them.  There are 3 designs right now, and soon I will have a total of 6.

I am so happy to be able to debut my own artwork on greeting cards. I have a few more designs in my head that could come in handy.  Hope you're inspired, happy crafting!

So I have been doing my own artwork and using them as stamps and this weekend I had the time to really turn them into cards. I made three, one is a Congratulations Card, seen below.

Yaassss, you did it!

Then I used Misha to say Arigato.

A fun, elegant thank you.

And finally, the resident forest friend wishing someone a happy birthday.

So these were very easy to put together, since I'd already colored the images after drawing them, I just printed them off and added some text and layers. These stamps are for sale in my spicyninja etsy shop if you'd like to make your own.  That's all for now, happy crafting.

Wacom pads are amazing!

So I LOVE trying new products and techniques, but I just fell in love with the Intuos tablet. It makes it easy to clean and perfect your drawings. I have the Sketchbook Pro option and I can honestly say it's totally worth it. The tablet and software allowed me to turn this...

It took some time, but I am SUPER pleased with the result. It opens up a whole new way to make cards and scrap pages! Happy Crafting!
