Stencil Foiling

By on August 10, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some stencil foiling…with a stencil mask and through a stencil! It’s a fun technique and I hope you’ll stop by to watch my video:

I’m using products from Miss Ink stamps. I had a couple extra flamingos already colored up from a previous project so that inspired my card today!

I started out with the foiling process, using Decofoil Gel duo through my stencil (but adding that mask first!) You really need to see my video to see what I am talking about! Lol.

Once the gel was set aside to dry, I turned my attention to the magnolia flowers. These are gorgeous and easy to put together! (which I really appreciate in a flower die cut). I colored them up with Cool Grey Copic markers to add shadows and shading.

Once the gel was dry, I added pink foil and ran it through my mini minc machine. After the foil was done, I could add some ink to that quatrefoil design using the stencil once again! I love this set…so many possibilities. There is also a frame stencil in the set, which I didn’t use this time.

This is a super fun technique and I couldn’t resist making two panels… which turned into two completed cards!

The sentiments are from the Sunshine and Rainbows stamp set, another absolute FAVORITE set, because it has so many great sentiments. I reach for this one again and again.

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!

Tunnel Booklet

Hello! Today I have a fun Tunnel Booklet project for you. I love a tunnel book and I made mine an A2 card size with Alice!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I brought in all my favorite Alice images and stencils for this project, which is what inspired me to create this tunnel storybook.





The outside binding was a product I was introduced to at Creativation and I was so excited about it! It’s a clean canvas, which allowed me to stencil on my own diamond design to go with the theme.





Now here are some pictures so you can scroll through the booklet:

Light up VW Van Cards
By  on July 18, 2024  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I’m sharing three Light Up Van cards. These are so fun to create and the light up headlights really take this card to the next level!





I created these cards with both EZ Lights and Twinkle Lights in my cards today, both of which have THREE lights in each set. However, today I only needed two lights for the headlights on these vans, and I show you how to do this in my video!





Watch the video here:













These van die cuts are a SOLID die cut and they do not have a way to let the light through. But I have a simple trick for you to alter this in an easy way to be able to add the lights! (Watch the video to find out!)






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I actually added Twinkle Lights to this card, but I was lucky to be able to capture both lights on at the same time for this picture! They actually take turns lighting up and turn on and off when you press the button. It reminded me of taking a little beach break and having your flashing lights on! (Lol)






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I really love these light up vans! You can create them in any color you’d like…today I made THREE cards: a blue van (of course), a pink van, and a yellow van! These are mostly traditional colors, but what would a PURPLE van be like? Or a Van with extra flowers and peace signs?!

I hope you enjoyed these cards today featuring the EZ Lights and Twinkle Lights from Pear Blossom Press. They are my favorite way to light up a card! Happy Crafting!
