Inspiration: Watercolor Textures in Graphic Design

My newest Skillshare class, Watercolor Textures for Graphic Design, went live on Monday, and I’m so excited to share that nearly 1,000 wonderful creatives have already enrolled in the class! Creating watercolor textures from scratch – the act of sitting with a brush in hand, swirling colors together in unique ways – is one of my favorite times to relax and kind of let the art be made without thinking too hard. It’s definitely easy to lose track of time once you get started, but also awesome to then have so many cool new textures to work with. If you’re ever short on ideas on how you can start using those newly created textures, today I’m rounding up a bunch of inspiration with ways to start applying your watercolor textures in graphic design. Read on to see them all!

Digital Foil and Glitter Inspiration for Your Designs

With the launch of my recent Skillshare class, Metallic Magic, and the Glitz + Glam Digital Foil and Glitter Kit, I wanted to dedicate a post to some inspiration on how you can use your new digital foil and glitter making skills. While I had a blast creating those sparkly textures, I’ve had even more fun applying them to designs, hand lettering, stamp effects and more. Today I want to share some digital foil and glitter inspiration to get you excited about all the opportunities out there to get your logos noticed, enhance your portfolio, make your website shine, etc. Have a look below and get ready to take your designs further 😉

How to Create a Foil Stamp Effect in Photoshop

With the launch of my newest Skillshare class, Metallic Magic last week, I thought it would be fun to show how you could apply those textures, either from the class, or if you’ve picked up the glitz + glam kit, to a foil stamp effect in Photoshop. This is perfect if you’d like to show off logo designs you’ve created to a potential client, a stationery set for your portfolio, or to an illustration you’d like to add a little shine to 🙂 Read on to see how quickly it can be done!

Freebie: Printable Father’s Day Card

You know how you see Christmas decorations when it’s only Halloween? I feel kind of like that with sharing a free printable Father’s Day card today. Well, we are less than a month out, so it’s not as crazy as the Christmas in October shenanigans, so I think we’re cool. I gave away the free Mother’s day card two weeks before the holiday and it had such a great response, I felt bad I hadn’t shared it sooner. So! To make sure the option for a free semi-diy Father’s Day card is on the table earlier on, here it is, along with your 3 week notification the holiday is coming 🙂

How to Create Your Own Custom Rubber Stamp

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday, my second Skillshare class, ‘Get Inked! How to Create Your Own Custom Rubber Stamp‘ was published! In the class, I take you through all the steps of getting your own custom rubber stamp made by an online manufacturer – one I’ve used over 20 times and still continue to use (and I’m not even affiliated with them! I just love their stamps 🙂 ). We walk through how to take any artwork – whether digital or hand drawn and convert it into a perfect (affordable) custom rubber stamp you’ll have for years. To celebrate, today I’m sharing (only with my blog readers and YouTube audience) the second video from the class – a video you wouldn’t get to see unless you’re enrolled in the full course. I hope you enjoy it! If you’ve never checked out Skillshare before, you can get 30 days of free premium membership which will also get you full access to my class by clicking here.

Freebie: Vector Real Estate Icons

Hey friends, I’m back! Thanks so much for understanding the small break – we’re still very much in the midst of unpacking + cleaning every square inch of the apartment, but we’re here – we are officially in our house as homeowners 🙂 We couldn’t have asked for things to move smoother – we found the house within 2.5 weeks of looking and officially owned it 3 weeks later! If anyone is looking for a realtor in or around Atlanta, let me know and I’ll hook you up 😉 Anyway! With a house so much on the brain, it seemed only right to make some real estate/home themed icons!
