Ohhhhh, who is ready to get into the holiday spirit? I’ve got 4 Christmas card ideas for you today, all watercoloring and all anyone can do in under 8 MINUTES!!!!! Seriously, if you don’t watercolor, still watch! I bet you might want to after seeing this video. It is so easy, I promise. And you don’t need fancy watercolors or paper either! Use what you have on hand…… I’m Laurel and I’m all about the quirkiness and fun of crafting. It doesn’t have to be so serious! It’s fun! And anyone can do it!
Let me show you the cards up close and personal I am making in the video so you can see what is in store for you. First up, you must meet Fred!
This next card took 4 minutes to make!
Believe it or not, this took the longest because I stink at painting circles, lol!
And the texture on this tree. SOOOOOOO EASY!
So what are you waiting for? I’ve got 4 EASY PEASY Christmas card project ideas right here for you. Give it a try!!! You are gonna love it!
I adore the Peace, Love and Holly stamp set and die. Making a clean and simple card, with some very light watercoloring and some patterned paper? Yes please. Super duper easy to mass produce as well! To create the subtle watercolor, I simply stamped the images with CP ink and then took a wet paint brush to blend out some of the color. EASY!
Another way to create a beautifully simple card is by blending on some ink, flicking on some water drops and then adhering the holly image with no coloring whatsoever! Wuite eye catching, don’t you think?
And finally, let’s talk about this coverplate. Absolutely stunning. And the detail on this die is unbelievable….. I just squirted on some metallic ink spray and adhered it to a black card base… Again, super easy but very eye catching.
The entire release is available now! You can see all the products by clicking HERE! Be sure to check it out because there are loads more products available.. Bunnies, Birch Trees, Snowflakes…..

I have never owned a pinecone stamp set and this one I just HAD to have…. This stamp set is called Pinecone Greetings is part of the newest Catherine Pooler release called called Nordic Wood.. It also has a coordinating die set as well. Using just two ink colors, I was able to create this beautiful ink blended pinecone card!
It’s no secret, Catherine Pooler inks are my go to inks….. They blend beautiful as well as react to water! Just a few flicks of water and that completed this card!
Also part of this release, is some gorgeous patterned paper. I used to hoard patterned paper, then I decided I prefer making my own with stamps so I purged all my paper. But then I saw this set and had to have it….. Pairing it with the pinecones was a no brainer.
Pairing it with the Cuddle Weather sentiment set just completed the card.
Tomorrow, I’ll have a few projects showcasing a holly stamp set and cover die so be sure to pop back over then!!!! Tata for now!

Today’s projects and video is all about how to use water in your projects….. Adding to water to specific mediums (inks, gelatos, paint) can really elevate your projects AND stretch out your mediums and use them in different ways. Heck, you paid money for them… Why not find more ways to use them…….. Click below to watch the video!!!
Here is a look at the projects I created in the video. Some I turned into cards. Other’s I left blank intentionally and will put them in my background binder… It’s not really a binder, but I had to call it something. It doesn’t flow as good as magic mug…. Anywho, the background binder will hold all the backgrounds I made and can easily turn into cards when the occasion strikes!
