This is Daisy, and she's "sow" cute! She's part of Justine's Farm, which is a BetterPress collection from Spellbinders. You can check out how I make this card in my latest YouTube video here: youtu.be/5CtlagEQKus

Quilted Memories is the name of the BetterPress of the Month from Spellbinders for March '25. It's so pretty on it's own, but I decided to watercolor it with a complimentary color palette. It was such a relaxing process. Full details are on my blog: alisonheikkila.com/2025/03/marc...

I played with Spellbinders' Wax Seal of the Month Club for February for today's card. I used it as my focal point and combined some pretty papers with it. Details are on my blog: alisonheikkila.com/2025/02/febr...

I have 3 cards on my YouTube channel today that uses some of the Gel Press prints I made with baby powder last week. I used several Tim Holtz dies. I love how they turned out! You can watch the video here: youtu.be/B003hwHNkeo

I love making dramatic cards with embossing folders. I used the Wildly Beautiful Embossing Folder from Spellbinders with Champagne Delicata Ink from Imagine. It was so fast, and the shimmer is gorgeous. More details here: alisonheikkila.com/2025/03/wild...

Repeating a design element on a project is a great way to make sure things are cohesive. Here, I repeated the hearts from the Kaleidoscope Noble Suits from Spellbinders in different colors to make a cheerful card. alisonheikkila.com/2025/02/kale...

Calling all Twi-Hards! I made this for Fandom Friday and the theme is Make Love, Not War. I pulled out an old Greeting Farm stamp of Edward, and had some mixed media fun. You can watch my video here: youtu.be/NgLB3P7Pe7k

I played with a fab embossing folder from Erin Lee Creative, Distress Oxide Sprays, and made a shaker, all in my latest YouTube video. These citrusy colors really pop, especially on a gloomy day like today in NY. You can check out my video here: youtu.be/qvbUrWhLnuc

The Ornamental Trellis stencil from A Colorful Life Designs is perfect for monoprinting. I used acrylic paints on my Gel Press and got a bold, distressed look, and added a sentiment from Uniquely Creative. alisonheikkila.com/2025/01/have...

I had some fun with Erin Lee Creative products in my YouTube video today, and I may have the fastest way to ink blend. This card has a relaxed, tropical vibe, and I love it. The video is here: youtu.be/IxELgZwYj6o

The March Embossing Folder of the Month from Spellbinders has that Art Deco vibe that I love. I used holographic cardstock and heat embossed the negative spaces with black to get a tin ceiling look. Full details are on my blog: alisonheikkila.com/2025/03/your...

Things were going very wrong when I first started making this card with alcohol inks. I switched gears and things turned out well though. You can watch the whole hot mess unfold in my video here: youtu.be/7I1oLvbxcyo
Embossing folder and die cut are from Sizzix and Tim Holtz.
