5 Ways to Use Foil Scraps

By KariV on January 14, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Ever wonder what to do with those foil scraps? I hope you don’t throw them away! Because today I have 5 ways to use up those foil scraps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I hope you enjoy these ideas! I really enjoyed stretching myself to create out of what I already had available.

Some of these supplies used are items that are no longer available, but what I could find I did link below…

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!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Do You like to fussy cut?

By KariV on January 11, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello again! Today I have a video sharing two cards using fussy cutting and no fussy cutting techniques on each card. I’m using the new Sentimental Stems stamp set from Maker Forte.

This has been a very popular set, and at the time of publishing this post…it has sold out! But don’t worry…it’s on it’s way to restock and you can also pre-order it.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love this set and when I shared my first card (below), I decided to make a video with a few alternate colors and techniques.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! Thanks for stopping by.

Snowflakes are Unique

By KariV on December 29, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a snowflake card to share using the December Hedgehog Hollow Kit. I loved putting this card together!

I used two of the stencils in the kit and inked them on using Blue Raspberry and Welsh Dragon inks. Then I heat embossed some snowflakes with silver embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the kit and VOILA! I’m done! This was a simple card, but oh-so-fun to make. I understand this kit is already sold out…so sorry about that! These kits sell out fast!
