Mixed media cards Crash the stash with creative team member Celise McLaughlin

For many years before boarding the Mixed Media train I was a card maker.  So, when it comes time to crash deep into my stash, mostly what I will find is card-making supplies.

Today I am combining techniques in Mixed Media with Card making.  Through this process, I am using several tools and supplies rarely seen when art journaling or creating canvases.  The end result is six beautiful cards ready to send to someone special and make their day. Hope you enjoy the video!

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 25 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul. I believe—no, I know—you are worthy of love, and I want to teach you to know that about yourself. Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!

    I, too, have lots of card making supplies that are mostly neglected these days. I’m feeling inspired to make some cards again! BTW, the Fiskars paper trimmer has a slot where the blade cuts that is perfect for scoring your card base – a bone folder fits in there. One less tool to drag out!
