New Near New Team with Crafty Meraki

 

Happy New Year friends!  I always love the start of something fresh and new!  And, I’m excited to say I’ve been asked to join the Crafty Meraki Design team for 2025!  This means I’ll be able to bring you all sorts of fun inspiration in the year ahead.  Today the team is hopping on Instagram with a giveaway, so be sure to check out my post and the hop there.  

I decided to pull out a little floral beauty for this years first post, its called Reason to Smile.  

I’ve coloured the design with Copics and coloured pencils in a fun colour palette, and then added the die cut sentiment (cut 3x) with Meraki Moments Hello Para-Dies.  I’ve kept the design more CAS for a fresh start to a new year!  

A couple of sequins to accent the sentiment and its complete!   Here is a peek at the team below.  Be sure to follow the hop on Instagram for your chance to win!

Flower Cart and an IG Giveaway!

Summer hello’s!  Flower carts are just so charming aren’t they?  The little pop up shoppe feel of them with the beautiful assortment of florals always draws me in!  This precious die set from Concord & 9th, Flower Shoppe is right up my alley!  I decided to use the same colour palette as the card I made on Thursday, with the addition of a soft ink blended sky in the background.  It’s a great vibrant combo, perfect for saturated summer shades.  

 

All these tiny pieces!  Just so fun when it all comes together.  I created an “awning” for my flower cart and popped it up with a foam piece so it stays open, and tucked beneath it the hanging plant works perfectly. A few white gel pen polka dots on the watering can distinguish it from the other elements.   Don’t those little yellow potted plants look like pineapples?  Totally unintentional - but oh so cute!  

Now, the funny part, I liked this die set so much I forgot I already had it!  So, I’m giving the second one away!  

If you’d like to be entered to win the Flower Shoppe Die, go to my Instagram Page HERE, and follow the instructions for this post.  Good luck!

Watercolour Giveaway on Instagram!

Hello!  A few weeks ago I changed up my Instagram account to have a profile for all my card creations and original artwork.  This account is public, so anyone can see it and then I can keep my family life and everyday photos on my private account.  

So, to celebrate I thought I’d have a GIVEAWAY on my Instagram Account ChristineCreationsArt.  

I did a little freehand watercolour wreath with Daniel Smith Watercolours, including this beautiful quote I found.  I really resonate with what it says:  “Where I create, there I am true”.  

Some pretty roses and grape hyacinth adorn the wreath.  It’s 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches.  It would make a nice little reminder in your creative space.  I want to spread a little sunshine out there

So, to ENTER TO WIN:  

1.  Follow me on my art account on Instagram:  ChristineCreationsArt

2.  Comment on this wreath post in my IG Account.  

You can be from anywhere on this blue planet, and I’ll draw from the followers and names on Instagram on Thursday May 21. 

I’ll only be drawing from Instagram...but don’t worry, I’ll give away something like this on my blog soon!  Thanks for joining me friends!
