Watercolors – Jackie's Craft Table

Hello everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! Today’s post and video is all about postcards and family. I have an old book of vintage postcards that my Grandma Florence collected throughout her life. I’m also showing my old book of postcards that greatly pales in comparison to my grandma’s–Lol! Her old postcards have a fun, Victorian feel to them and mine are very common, but it serves as a journal of-sorts, reminding me of all the fun places I’ve visited.

I’m also creating two of my own postcards. In one of the art stores I visited I ran across a watercolor pad of postcards. It inspired me to created my own postcards. You can definitely use your own paper to create postcards, but I like this little pad of pre-made postcards because it has a place printed out of where to put the stamp, message and address.

These are basically one -layer cards. You can’t add any dimension, but it forces you to be super creative to add lots of interest to you cards. A lot of my grandmother’s cards were embossed, and I tried this technique on my first postcard. I also noticed a theme playing through my grandmother’s postcards. They featured little vignettes surrounded by flowers. On my second card I tried to mimic this with my scarecrow as my vignette, and I surrounded him with a diamond shape and sunflowers.

I had a ball creating these cards, and I’m definitely going to be doing it again. What a great thing to send to somebody–a handmade postcard to add to their book of collections.

Thanks for stopping by, everyone! I’m wishing you all a wonderful day and a fabulous Thanksgiving! Sending crafty hugs!!

Postcard #1: Thanksgiving Scene

I stamped this with my pad of VersaFine Clair Ink in the color Fallen Leaves. I love this ink because it’s waterproof and it a very dark brown color. I then pulled out my palette of Daniel Smith Watercolors and had fun painting in this darling little scene. I used a scallop die to emboss around my scene, and then I blended on some gold Delicata Ink and then some Vintage Photo ink around the sides.

Postcard #2: Scarecrow Vignette with Sunflowers

This postcard is my favorite. I love scarecrows and sunflowers, and I really enjoyed putting this one together. It did involve a lot of stamping and masking, and then I drew a diamond shape around my scarecrow using a square die and a ruler. I pulled out my Arteza Watercolor Brushes to paint in this scene. I didn’t use an aqua brush on this postcard; I wanted to keep my water use down to a minimum to prevent warping. I blended the various colors of my Arteza brushes together. I did add a little bit of color around the sunflowers and also around my scarecrow. I love how vibrant this postcard turned out.

Arteza Watercolor Brushes: Scarecrow – Face – Ginger, Placard – Chocolate, Straw – Lemon Yellow & Sunset Yellow, Sunflowers – Lemon Yellow, Bumblebee Yellow & Orange Rust, Flower Centers – Peach & Chocolate, Leaves – Green Tea, Olive Green & True Blue,

Arteza Watercolor Half Pans Review | Floral Card Project

November 6, 2019 jackiescrafttable

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a lovely day! I have another watercolor paint review for you. Arteza very generously sent me their 36 Half Pan Watercolor set. They are beautiful paints! I wanted to use them on a floral card, and I thought this stamp set from Memory Box would be perfect. I love a big floral stamp–this one completely covers an A2 size card. This is a stamp I purchased from Simon Says Stamp during their Stamptember celebration.

I inked it up with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink which is a waterproof ink. I stamped in onto a piece of Arteza 100% cotton watercolor paper, and then I had a ball coloring this beautiful image with these beautiful paints. They are highly pigmented, vivid, and a dream to work with.

After my painting was dry, I inked it up again with the same ink and poured on some clear embossing powder. After I melted the embossing powder, this made my stamp lines crisp and shiny, and it added a lot to my card project. I cut down my panel with a 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 faux stitch die. It was hard for me to cut down this image, but I used a leftover scrap from this panel on the inside on my card.

You can watch the whole process in my video below. You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel in HD.

10 Cards, 1 Kit | SSS August Card Kit 2019 | Look for the Rainbows

September 10, 2019 jackiescrafttable

Hi my crafty friends, I hope you are all having a wonderful day! When I received Simon Says Stamp’s September card like last week, I dug right in. This card kit is full of pretty things. I love floral stamp sets, and I did a lot of different techniques using their stamp set called, “Look for the Rainbows.”

Card #1: Colored Pencil on Pattern Paper

Polychromos Pencils: Cobalt Green 156, Cobalt Turquoise 153, Light Red-Violet 135, Olive Green Yellowish 173, Chrome Oxide Green 278, Dark Naples Ochre 184, Indian Red 192

I love block text pattern paper, and their is nothing prettier thank stamping and coloring in the flowers right on this paper. I used colored pencils that matches the color of the text. You don’t need to add a lot of color, and these are very fast cards to put together. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on black card stock and popped it up off the card with foam tape.

Card #2: Rainbow Flower Card

Polychromos Pencils: Medium Flesh 131. Deep Scarlet Red 219, Magenta 133, Cadmium Yellow Lemon 205, Cadmium Orange 111, May Green 170, Permanent Green 266, Light Phthalo Green 162, Ultramarine 120, Helioblue-Reddish 151, Dark Naple Ochre 184

I colored in my flower image to match the rainbow pattern paper. I liked how this pattern paper isn’t your usual bright rainbow colors–it’s more muted. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of pattern paper that I selectively die cut with an oval die.

Card #3: No-Line Watercolor Flower

I stamped the flower onto a pieces of Arches Cold Press watercolor paper with Antique Linen Distress Oxide. The ink melted really well into the Daniel Smith watercolors I used to paint this flower. No-line watercoloring takes time because you don’t want to paint petals that are next to each other. If you do this they will bleed together, and you won’t get any distinction between the petals. I really loved this bright green pattern paper that I used for the background. I stamped the sentiment onto the Arches paper as well, and used a watercolor pencils to color it in the same color as the flower.

Card #4: Colored Pencils on Pattern Paper, Again 🙂

The pattern paper in this kit is fabulous, and I really love polka-dot paper. I stamped this flower cluster with Simon Says Stamp Intense black ink. Sometimes colored pencils can dull your lines; however, I didn’t do a lot of coloring on this panel. I wanted to allow the pattern of the paper show through.

Card #5: Orange & Teal Fall Time Card

Unfortunately, I lost some footage when I was creating this card. I stamped the flower and stem onto a piece of kraft card stock and used polychromos colored pencils to color them in. I used mostly flicking motions to give it some bold stripes of color and texture. I used a wide range of orange pencils and even a white colored pencil to add highlights. Again, I used a lot of paper from this kit to put behind my flower.

Card #6: 3-D Embossed Foil Card

For this card I selectively cut out a piece of the pattern paper, so the large butterfly could be my focal image. The 3-D embossing folder is fabulous!! Just look at all the detail and shine!

Card #7: Banner & Birds Card

You can probably tell that I really love my faux stitch banner dies. I keep them out on my desk. I stamped out and colored in the birds from the stamp set. I used my Arteza Everblend Art Markers to color them in.

Card #8: Pattern Paper Flower Bouquet Card

I again stamped the flowers onto a piece of pattern paper; however, this time I cut them out and adhered them to a piece of the Audrey Blue card stock. I used a light pink colored pencil over the petals to add detail to the flowers and bring cohesion to my bouquet.

Card #9: Thank You Flower Frame Card

This is my least favorite card, but I wanted to include it just the same. I should include more of my cards that I chalk up to, “I tried.” Lol! I cut the flowers out of the pattern paper–I thought I was being clever, but I should have just used the whole piece of paper. I glued them around my oval frame die cut and my sentiment. I glued on this bright green frame because I felt the frame got lost behind all these flowers. I think I’d be fun if people posted their, “I Tried” cards for us all to see. 🙂

Card #10: Repeat

Arteza Everblend Art Markers: Watermelon Pink A487 & Raspberry Red A45, Amber Yellow A9424 & Desert Sand A9421, Brandy Rose A2596 & Cocoa Brown A2499, Pumpkin Orange A9423 & Vermilion A422

I love this fall time card. It was fast and easy to put together, and I love how it turned out. It’s amazing what you can do with just one stamp sometimes. I used the leaf sprig and stamped it repeatedly over my kraft panel. I used my new Arteza Everblend Markers to color these leaves in various fall colors. The metallic paper behind it is just fabulous. I’m going to used more metallic papers in my card crafting.

Thank you for visiting my blog! Hope you’ve been inspired!

Arteza Products Review & Floral Card 2019

August 20, 2019 jackiescrafttable

Hello everyone! I have some fun products that I’m reviewing today. Arteza contacted me and asked if I’d like to review some of their art supplies. They sent me a 48 pack of their Real Brush Pens. I have the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, which I really love, but I’ve heard some great things about Arteza’s Real Brush Pens. They also sent a two pack of their watercolor pads, a set of bone folders, and three packs of Holographic Chunky Glitter.

First I swatched all the Real Brush Pens onto a piece of the watercolor paper that they sent me. The colors are all vibrant and beautiful, and I really like the names they came up with for their colors. I had some difficulty getting the colors to move on their watercolor paper with a water brush–I wanted to achieve a gradient from each of the pens. However, I found that if I first dipped the pen into clean water and then onto the paper, I could create a nice gradient effect. Also, Bristol Smooth paper is a great paper to use with these brushes. The coating on the paper allows you to blend and move the pigments beautifully.

To color my flowers, I put down my lightest pigments first using this technique and slowly built up my colors. I left a lot of white space on my flowers for highlights. To color in my light blue background around my flowers, I scribbled the True Blue pen onto my acrylic block and diluted it with water and painted around my flowers with the water brush that came with the pens.

I really enjoyed using all of the products they sent me. On their website they say that their goal is to provide quality, affordable art supplies to put into the hands of the creators, and in my opinion, they have accomplished this goal with these products that they sent to me.

Poppy Birthday Card:

Real Brush Pens used: Rouge Pink A190, Red A101, Light Magenta A184, Walnut Brown A164, Green Tea A154, Crocodile A126, Olive Green A146, True Blue A168

On the inside of the card I painted a strip of the same watercolor paper with the Rouge Pink pen. I again dipped the pen in clean water to lighten the pigment and then colored it along the paper until the pen’s natural pigment came out. I then adhered it to the inside of my card with liquid glue.

5 Cards, 1 Kit | MFT Flowers in Bloom | Tips for Photographing Cards

July 23, 2019 jackiescrafttable

Hello and welcome!! I love it when card kits include art mediums. MFT’s June kit included Color Burst watercolors. This is a medium I never tried before. I had heard of it, but it didn’t interest me. It took a card kit to get me to try them. I had a lot of fun working with these powdered watercolors, and it was mesmerizing to watch them burst into life when mixed with water. The speckled effects you can get with these are gorgeous and unique.

The kit also included some watercolor paper by Ken Oliver. I loved the bright whiteness of it. It reminded me of the Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Card Stock. It was fun to try, but I’ll stick with my Arches watercolor paper which can take on a lot more water than the Ken Oliver paper.

I used many different techniques to create these these cards, but my favorite is the metallic watercolors on black card stock card. This floral stamp set lent itself perfectly for this technique. I love a large floral stamp sets like this one.

At the end of my video, I included a new product I use to take pictures of my cards on. I also show you how I take pictures of my cards for my blog, Instagram and Facebook.

Thank you for stopping by! Links to the products I used are listed below. The MFT June kit is sold out; however, I have links to all the products from the kit which you can buy separately.

Watercolor Card | Hero Arts | Knitting 2019

July 8, 2019July 8, 2019 jackiescrafttable

Happy Worldwide Watercolor month!! To celebrate, I’ve created a card using watercolors and some sweet stamp images from Hero Arts. I love watercoloring; it so mesmerizing to watch the pigments moves around with the water. I’ve recently picked up a few tubes of Daniel Smith watercolors, and I can easily say they do live up to the hype. The colors are gorgeous, and creamy, and dry beautifully.

Two more of my favorite things is cats and knitting; so, this card was a blast to create! I had trouble choosing a color palette for this card. I saw a picture of a beautiful black and pink bird and was immediately inspired–inspiration can come from anywhere.

I stamped the images onto a piece of Arches Cold Press watercolor paper, and I used VersaFine Onyx black ink, which is a waterproof ink. I painted my images using lots of layers of paint. Once I was done, I let them dry, and I fussy cut them out. However, there are coordinating dies. (See link below.) The image of the girl is so cute how they have her posed. You could sit her anywhere, and in this case, I put her sitting on the edge of the wood frame die cut with her cat and basket of yarn.

Here is my process video! You can watch it here or over on my YouTube Channel in HD.

Also, at the beginning of my video I show of few pictures of my craft room, aka my dining room. I don’t have an extra room in my house to use as a craft room, but the dinning room works out great–I have a really big table, I can work on my cards in between cooking in the kitchen, and I get to be near my family. The down side is we don’t eat in there anymore except on major holidays. I try to keep it tidy because it’s visible when company stops by. I’ve mentioned in my past video’s about the gorgeous peonies blooming outside of my craft room windows, and I wanted to share a little glimpse of those too since they are blooming now! The two book cases on either side of my windows house all my supplies, and in my opinion, there’s nothing prettier to look at than art supplies–well, it runs a close second place to my peonies.

The cards I’m showing you today are from Simon Says Stamp’s June card kit. It’s called, “Leafy Frames.” I love the stamps from this kit, and I had so much fun using the products from this kit to design these cards. Links to most of the supplies I used are listed below.
