<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here in Kansas City it's been so warm, that it's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner! But Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here in no time, so to get us inspired I am featuring a beautiful card given to me by my dear friend Terri Jennings. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Using silver patterned paper, Terri embellished the front panels with pre-made card toppers she had in her stash. She then cut out the framed edges using Katie Holly Framed Edges, and the Katie Star Framed Edges. See the cute detail in the corners where Terri swapped out the stars from the coordinating color? Little details like this make a card extra-special!</span></div>

I received a beautiful <a href="http://www.fotobella.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BO-ROSECAFE" target="_blank">Bundle</a> last month from <a href="http://www.fotobella.com/" target="_blank">FotoBella</a> called <a href="http://www.fotobella.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BO-ROSECAFE" target="_blank">Rose Cafe' by Bo Bunny</a>. It is a beautiful and very popular paper collection with papers in Blue, Yellow, Burgundy and Brown. The first project I made was a Valentine card. I also made a couple other projects which were featured on the<a href="http://blog.fotobella.com/" target="_blank"> FotoBella blog</a>. One was a cute tag. The other was a scrapbook page where I featured an old photo of my Grandparent's wedding.<br />

This is just gorgeous paper, and the <a href="http://www.fotobella.com/SearchResults.asp#k=Rose%20Cafe%20" target="_blank">embellishment</a>s are divine! It has a beautiful combination of blue, yellow and gray hues, paired with soft pink and burgundy. It may seem unusual to pair those colors, but the combination actually works beautifully! I concentrated on the rose and burgundy colors to make this <a href="http://blog.fotobella.com/2015/01/rose-cafe-valentine-card-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Valentine collage card</a>.

My first project for the <a href="http://blog.fotobella.com/" target="_blank">FotoBella.com Blog </a>was a cute little Friendship card, using paper and embellishments from the <a href="http://www.fotobella.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BG-VIVIENNE" target="_blank">Vivienne "I want it all" Bundle.</a> It was so easy to make, and went together in minutes!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey Bloggers!'</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friend Jen owns a crafting store called <a href="http://www.inkpaperrubber.com/" target="_blank">Ink Paper Rubber</a>, and when first saw the new Graphic 45 paper "<a href="http://www.g45papers.com/twas-the-night-before-christmas-category" target="_blank">Twas the Night Before Christmas</a>", she wasn't sure it would be a line she wanted to order. Jen's customers for the most part are artists and card makers, but not scrapbookers. Some papers work better for one group than the other...maybe this line was one of those best-suited for scrapbooking...in her mind it just didn't seem to have enough images that would work for a card...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, maybe, maybe not. Because even though "<a href="http://www.g45papers.com/twas-the-night-before-christmas-category" target="_blank">Twas the Night</a>" is perfect for scrapbooking, great journaling spots, "<a href="https://beckyhiggins.com/products/" target="_blank">Project-Life</a>"-esque shapes, pretty colors, and the like, if you just think a little bit outside the box, you might be surprised at what what you can do!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyEINq78vRKRSKCxx3dAZRmsv2WhkkQ30sgxQd-0dH5QlkllXvv38CtoBx8kqffrVEzkbB2Cw_zOq-8eBxPX448J1xNvIG_44cj_BZ24Wq2qriNVvEcvkEt1970otEUFSf4xsvoibN9pKp/s1600/IMG_1531.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyEINq78vRKRSKCxx3dAZRmsv2WhkkQ30sgxQd-0dH5QlkllXvv38CtoBx8kqffrVEzkbB2Cw_zOq-8eBxPX448J1xNvIG_44cj_BZ24Wq2qriNVvEcvkEt1970otEUFSf4xsvoibN9pKp/s1600/IMG_1531.JPG" height="239" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I personally liked the new line very much, the bright colors and Victorian images always speak to me!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I bought one sheet of every paper in the line, and the envelopes and tags packet to boot, and set out to see what card designs I could come up with! Let me take you through my process and maybe it will help you to see things a little bit differently next time you're shopping for paper!</span><br />

Hello dear bloggers,<br />
We all remember from our childhood that wonderful poem by Clement C. Moore, "'Twas the night before Christmas." This year, graphic 45 has released a beautiful paper line with the same name. These beautiful Victorian images are perfect for making Christmas cards. So I made some!<br />
I am also conducting three sessions where I will teach how to make these cards. Hastings, Nebraska, September 26, 2014 and Overland Park, Kansas (Kansas City) October 2 and 3, 2014. Leave a comment if you want more information about either of these classes.<br />

Here are four Christmas cards that I made using this beautiful paper line. I hope you enjoy looking at them, and if you do, please stop back in on Friday and I'll explain to you exactly how I made them!<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Hi Bloggers,<br />
Saturday's StampAFaire was such a huge success! <br />
I am so glad I participated, and am already thinking of ways I can incorporate what I learned into my stamping and card making classes! Below is a video put together by Nichole Heady, of the day's participants and their projects.<br />
Enjoy! Maybe you'll see someone you know, I did! <br />
I saw some of my online friends in this video, including Nancy Penir, and Tonya Jastad, both of whom left comments on my blog! So exciting!<br />
<br />

So take a minute and watch how much fun we all had at this year's Stamp A Faire!<br />
Happy Creating!<br />

<br />
I was both honored and excited to be considered, and quickly began working on my project.<br />
I decided to do a series of four cards, using the watercolor technique I demonstrated in a previous post. This had to be really special. It was the first time I had been "published".<br />
My creative process is always the same: start with the focal image, grab some coordinating embellishments , throw everything on the table and go to town! <br />

Hello Dear Bloggers!<br />
If you're here for the first time, welcome to Crabtree Creations! If you've been here's before, welcome back! I'm so excited to share with you all the latest information about today's annual stamp event,<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i><b>"Stamp-A-Faire</b></i>!</span></div>
It is a completely<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); text-align: center;"> FREE online event that is offered to stampers worldwide! The theme for this year's event is TIME TRAVELER. We are going back in time and will be discovering new ways of stamping using various periods in history as our inspiration. We will visit Ancient Rome, The Renaissance Era, The Regency Era, and several fun decades of the 20th Century including the 20's, 40's, 60's and 80's. The festivities begin at 7am (Eastern Time) Saturday, and will continue late into the night! It's always tons of fun and I can hardly wait to get started! Here is the official schedule of <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2014/08/stamp-a-faire-2014-official-schedule.html" target="_blank">Events</a>. </span><br />
<br />
The first event will be taking place in <b>Ancient Rome</b>. From the amazing architecture of that era, to the beautiful detailed mosaics, you will love stepping back in time as you immerse yourself in this ancient culture. Lindsay Jones will be our tour guide as she presents two video challenges for us to try!<br />

<i>FAUX FRESCOES</i><br />
Basic supplies for the first project, if you care to participate, are as follows:<br />
*some sort of coloring medium. Re-inkers, watercolors, Or Copic markers, to name a few. ..I'm going to try gelatos!<br />
* white molding paste. Wendy Vecchi embossing paste by Ranger is safe with Copic markers, but any brand will work if you're using other mediums.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A layer of moulding paste was applied to the paper prior to stamping the image.<br />

MAY has been a busy month for all of us with Mother's Day and graduation, and school coming to a close for the summer. I'm sure all of you have had at least one of these events come up, where you found yourself in need of a card. I know I did! That being said, I'm excited to share with you some of the projects that I have been working on this month!<br />

One day I sat down with some floral stamps from Anna Griffin, Northwoods, and Penny Black, grabbed my Tombow and Distress Markers, a spray bottle full of water, and some watercolor paper, and set out to make a few cards.<br />

I had used this technique of stamping with markers before, and always had great results. It allows you to use numerous colors on the same stamp, which is good when you're stamping flowers. So let me tell you how I did it, and maybe you can give it a try too!<br />
<br />
Here are the steps to this technique:</div>
<div>
1. Select your stamps.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFbVLcRf6xKDFm5CBQZ3KFQD271tDa3EuhySuNoQjuw1eTQfktTQOtORSkk_MLdpDPohvqImoZeUUFhTc6bPSGAnU6iZtZlqjYBMs6_8DzIotnPfMJxAbpnHxIufbO2Om4hQ01gRZ-LPVP/s1600/IMG_6117.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFbVLcRf6xKDFm5CBQZ3KFQD271tDa3EuhySuNoQjuw1eTQfktTQOtORSkk_MLdpDPohvqImoZeUUFhTc6bPSGAnU6iZtZlqjYBMs6_8DzIotnPfMJxAbpnHxIufbO2Om4hQ01gRZ-LPVP/s1600/IMG_6117.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
You will want to choose stamps that have broad areas for stamping. Whole images rather than using stamps with outlines. Some of the stamps above are from the Penny Black "Brushstroke" line. They work very well with this technique as you will later see.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>

Find markers in the same color family, for example by using red, dark pink, and light pink you are able to shade your flower to look more natural. Darker ink in the areas that are darker, and lighter colors of the same shade where you want your image highlighted. Pick various colors of green for the leaves also, because like the flower, the leaves are never just one color.<br />

3. Have a water brush handy. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Sometimes you may need to touch up your stamped image and blend the colors. A water brush is just like a paintbrush, but you fill the pen up with water. I use these pens on a number of projects! (I have shown 3 different brands of water brushes in the photo at the top of this post. They cost about $9.)<br />
<br />
4. Color the stamp.<br />
Using your Tombow, Distress or Memento watercolor markers, color the image on the stamp to your liking. In my samples, you will see that I tried a number of different colors for my flowers. The sky is the limit when it comes to coloring these little babies! You may choose to make them realistic, or you might just decide to make them more whimsical and use crazy colors.<br />

NOTE: It is important to start with the <i>lightest</i> color of ink and work your way to the<i> darkest.</i> This way you will not "contaminate" your light markers with the ink colors from the darker ones. Use the lighter colors where the light would hit the image. Think of where your light source is, then color accordingly. It will also give your flowers a more natural look.<br />

5. Spray water mist on your stamp before stamping. <br />
This step is important because the ink will dry before you are ready to stamp. By hydrating the stamp with a little mist, it brings the ink back to life, and will leave a beautiful watercolor image on the paper.<br />
6. Use watercolor paper.<br />
This style of stamping with markers and water will be prettier if you use watercolor paper, and leave a beautiful watercolor-style image on your paper. Use two spritzes at the most. More will cause your image to be runny and the image will not be crisp and clean.<br />
7. Stamp and let dry.<br />
You will want to press down for a few seconds to allow the ink to soak into the paper. Lifting off the stamp too soon could result in a less-than-finished look to your stamped image.<br />
8. Touch up your image with a water brush. <br />

In the event that you didn't get a perfect stamped image, don't fret. You can "fix" your stamped image by using a water brush, and pulling the ink where you want it to go. It also helps to soften the image, and you can fill in areas with the brush that didn't stamp properly. In the photo above, You will notice the stamp is one with lines rather than large areas for stamping. These generally don't work as well, and by using the water brush, I can blend in the ink to soften the image. <br />

Stamping with markers is fun and easy! Try it with a variety of images. I used flowers but any image will work...Remember to use stamps that have a large area in which to stamp, outlined stamps don't seem to work as well. And have fun! </div>

Today I would like to share with you four cards I made using Graphic 45 Botanical Tea paper collection. I love this collection--it's just beautiful. Lots of floral images and pretty springtime colors. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are 24 different papers to choose from (12 front and back double-sided) so the possibilities are endless. It comes with 12 images that work very well on cards for the focal point, and I have chosen to use them in the cards I am showing you today.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This card was the highlight of the group! I wanted to keep with using the vellum theme, so I stamped the fern in green ink on the velum and placed it over the patterned paper. It softened it a bit. I used my Martha Stewart punch for the bottom lace effect, and also used real fabric lace on this card. The bird was fussy-cut out of the paper collection.</td></tr>

Hello Dear Bloggers!<br />
I feel like I have fallen into an abyss! Like everyone else, the last few months have been very busy for me. Unfortunately my blog suffered. Hopefully I will get you updated soon!<br />
I would like to post some photos of the projects I worked on during Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter. Then we should be almost up to date! <br />

And don't forget to click on JOIN THIS SITE While you're there! You will receive notification every time I post a new entry! You can also subscribe to the comments. I am ramping up the blog for Spring and Summer, lots of projects and lots of fun! I hope you'll join me!<br />
<br />
Here are my projects from the past few months:<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hello Bloggers and Card Makers!</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As promised, I am posting the Halloween Card Class Samples for 2013.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To accommodate as many students as possible, I am conducting two separate classes, a daytime class and an evening class. The daytime class begins at <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">11:00 a.m. On Wednesday, October 16th</span>;</b> and the evening class begins at <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">6:30 p.m. on Friday October 18, 2013.</span> </b> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cost is $25 for four cards and envelopes. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>*Class space is limited!*</b> Only 6 students will be in each session, so be sure to sign up quickly, to ensure your spot!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This year's cards are beautiful, one of a kind, heirloom pieces that will be a perfect gift for that special person in your life! Nowhere else will you find anything like these! I use quality papers, embellishments and ribbons. I have even used luxurious "German Scrap" on these cards!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And measuring 6.5 x 5, they are much larger than the A2 size cards made in typical card classes. The envelope is also included in the price. And<b> kits ARE available</b> if you can't make it to a class.</span><br />

Hello Dear Bloggers and Card Makers,<br />
I have been asked by several of my former students if I will be teaching any more card classes this year. Well, I have good news! The answer is YES!<br />
<br />
Later this week I will be posting sign-ups for two CARD CLASSES I will be teaching. In addition I will be teaching a class on how to make a paper bag MINI-ALBUM.<br />
<br />
The card classes are $25 and will include a Halloween cards class and a Holiday cards class. <br />
Each class includes four (4) cards and four corresponding envelopes.<br />
*The theme and cost of the mini-album will be announced once I secure the paper.*<br />
<br />
I will be posting sign-ups for the class this coming weekend with samples of cards, and dates and times for all classes!<br />
Please make sure you sign up in a timely fashion. The class space will be limited, as all classes will be conducted here in my home. If you are unable to attend a class, and would like a kit, they will be available for purchase on a pre-paid basis.<br />
<br />
I'm working hard to provide you with beautiful, vintage-style cards, that your friends and family will cherish for years to come! Please check back this weekend for more information!<br />
Until then,<br />
HAPPY CREATING!<br />
