Adding Flock to cards

By on October 20, 2022 in Classes, Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m up at the Maker Forte blog to share some Flocked Halloween cards.

Have you used flock on your cards before? Join me in class tomorrow night October 21, 2022 at 7:30 pm. Eastern time at the Hedgehog Hollow YouTube channel to learn how to use it!

I love the texture and velvety feel that flock adds to cards! Here the polka dots, the hats and bats, and the entire background of these cards are flocked! And that “HI” sentiment is also flock that I colored with some ink blending.

To read more information on these cards, visit the Maker Forte blog HERE.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Hello! Today I’m so excited to share a new video with some interesting backgrounds for Bats & Spiders. I’m using some new stamps & dies from Heffy Doodle…and this one called Let’s Hang Out is a favorite.





Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





Aren’t these bats and spiders the cutest? I love them so much…better than real ones! lol.





I started out with a couple backgrounds that are so fun for these critters, and then I share how to put these cards together in the video.

The Magical Mirror

Hello! Today I have a magical mirror card to share! This is a fun one and I’m using the new Magical Collection from Miss Ink Stamps.





I have a video sharing all details, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I used the new Magical Stars stencil for the background, and inked it up in a rainbow of colors. Then I offset the stencil to add some gold glitter stars in between that rainbow of stars!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love that this Heart’s Desire stamp set has coordinating dies. The dies allowed me to cut out the center of the mirror and replace it with MIRROR CARDSTOCK! See my video for how I colored the mirror to look like wood-grain.

The Port at Sunset
By  on October 3, 2022  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a simple card with a sunset feel…I love cards like these that have such an impact, but are so easy to make!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I first stamped the brushstroke background stamp in yellow ink. Then I added some Red Leicester and Pink Flamingo inks just around the edges. I blotted the ink before stamping so as not to get harsh lines.





I then stamped the ship images over the top, with the sentiment in Eclipse Black ink.






		
		
			
			
		
	





To complete this card, I used some yellow cardstock as a mat. VOILA! A simple and stunning card!

SUNSHINE-boo-card-only-1-close-up
What’s Brewing?
By  on September 29, 2022  in Halloween, Holidays   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a small witch’s cauldron card to share using the September Hedgehog Hollow kit. I have to say these images in the stamp set are so fun to create with! Today I chose a ghost and a witches hat (combined they create the cutest Witch Ghost!), a cauldron, and a broom.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I chose a couple of the papers from the kit: a grey spiderweb paper and a black and white bat paper. I changed the bat paper to GREEN with a little Limewired Color Hive ink…this is a neon green and so perfect for this Halloween card!





Then I cut down the spiderweb paper to be a little smaller and inked on the “BOO” from one of the stencils in the kit. I set that aside to dry while I colored the images.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used Copic markers to color these images and tried to match that Limewired ink color for the hat. The cauldron got a line of Limewired gems that matched perfectly!





Before I added these images with foam tape, I inked the edge of the spiderweb paper with Vegas Strip ink to give more of a contrast.





Then I put it all together on a card base! So. Much. FUN!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll be back with more cards to share soon!
