Happy Sparkly New Year

By on January 14, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! It’s Kari and today I have a Happy Sparkly New Year shaker card and video to share.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

See how sparkly that Cherry Pie Sparkle Mix is?! So pretty for this New Years sparkle card.

I chose a few of the dog stamp sets available at Heffy Doodle to make this party shaker card come to life!

A Lot of Happy stencil for the background inking is perfect for this card. It’s going to be a very HAPPY new year!

Foiling with White Foil

Hello! Today I have a set of cards and a video Foiling with White Foil. This is a fun technique and I’m using the cutest penguins from Miss Ink Stamps.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





For this first card I used DecoFoil Gel Duo through the Frosty Flakes stencil from Miss Ink Stamps. I allowed it to completely dry before foiling it with WHITE foil. Then I inked on some color….the foil resists the ink!






		
		
			
			
		
	





The next card I used some rainbow foil, and since I had a beautiful negative piece of rainbow foil that I was able to use on some toner paper. Then I used some white foil with the Double Foil Technique to make the background white again. This is such a fun technique and so easy…Watch the video to see all the details!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I couldn’t resist making those penguins dance on a table! Lol.

Shake It Up!

Hello…it’s a New Year so Let’s Shake It Up!! Today I have a mini slimline shaker card to share, with a bonus card. Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





This first card is the shaker card…and I colored up those yummy cupcakes with Copic Markers. I just love this cupcake set!! I colored THREE cupcakes, and didn’t have space for all of them on this shaker card, so since I had the cut out of the HUGS as well, I made a second card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





How good does that chocolate look on this cupcake with the whipped topping?! I love a fancy cupcake. I have loved using all these products today! I hope you will watch the video to see the process of putting these cards together.

Foiling and Angry Birds

Hello! Happy New Year! I’m back with my first video and card share of the New Year. I hope your holidays were delightful and not nearly as cold as it is for these Angry Birds cards I am sharing today.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





For these cards, I started with some Toner Card fronts from Whimsy Stamps. I used some aqua DecoFoil to foil this snowflake background…then I saved the leftover foil to make the second card background.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I think these birds are so funny (but don’t they look cold…brrr)! There is another fun image in this stamp set also, so go and check it out. I have the supplies listed below.

I hope you enjoyed the foiling and these card projects today! It’s been chilly here, but not cold enough for snow (we rarely get snow here in Arizona). How about where you are? See you soon with more cards to share!

Holiday Wishes from Alice & Friends
By  on December 23, 2023  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a new card and video bringing you Holiday wishes from Alice & Friends! I just absolutely HAD to make a holiday card with Alice.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





For this card I brought together a few of the stamp sets from the Alice Collection: All Smiles stamp set & Storybook Alice stamp set.





I used the Alice Background layering stencils in light green and light red for the background (which I absolutely LOVE!) I should mention that this is a 3 layer stencil set, but I only used 2 layers in this card. So many other options for this stencil that I have yet to explore!






		
		
			
			
		
	





The Love & Joy is cut from the alphabets in the Woodgrain Frame Die set using glitter paper. I love a bit of that glittery shine! I used Lawn Fawn glitter paper so the glitter doesn’t come off all over the place.





The subsentiment is from the All Smiles stamp set…isn’t is a lovely sentiment?

Happy Holidays from all of us!
