  1. What a great video! I love the cards and all the tips and techniques. I feel like I’m right there with Kelly – she is so great and easy to understand – and so helpful. I will watch this many more times. Thanks for this amazing inspiration!

  2. Love the colouring on those cards! It really makes them come alive, and the layout is simple but fabulous.

  3. Such a cute idea! The cards are adorable! I’ve got some watercolour scraps – thanks for inspiring!

  4. How cute!! I have lots of w/c paper scrap, but honestly, mine are smaller! lol I could probably
    punch a lot of circles, tho. tfs

  5. I love the sand and sea colors you created. My distress oxide inks should be shipping tomorrow. Thank you so much for the cute ideas.

  6. WOW
    Thank You for sharing your WONDERFUL watercolouring, panels and cards … you have transformed your scraps into AWESOME and I am INSPIRED :)

  7. Great cards and a wonderful idea! I do keep lots of
    scraps but don’t always remember to check through them!!!

  8. Thanks for the great ideas. I have all sorts of watercolor paper scraps that I save for some unknown reason. Now I’ll be pulling out my dies and seeing what I can come up with!

  9. Fun cards.
    I always keep scraps and use
    them whenever I can. Gets
    me in trouble sometimes
    because I make a project for
    a class and then don’t have
    enough of the paper for the
    entire class. I think the
    ladies are getting used to
    that and are happy with what
    I substitute. thanks for
    sharing. txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)com

  10. I am ALL about up-cycling ANYTHING but when it is my precious paper, much less my precious w/c paper, I waste NOTHING! What a great way to use it up. However I am a little embarrassed to say, (but I will)… I even save pieces much smaller than these but I KNOW I can use them sometime? LOL Right?
    Kelly, you inspire me to no end! TFS!

  11. Awesome tutoral — I picked up so many useful techniques. Loved the way Kelly sketches in little details on the images to really make them special.

  12. Let’s summer come! I love these beautiful cards, especially the one with the little crab. Thank you Kelly for showing the instructive video and great examples.

  13. Great way to use your leftover paper. All your cards were adorable. Thanks so much for sharing….
