By on May 22, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! So happy to share 3 different ways to add bubbles to cards using Miss Ink Stamps. This new doggie stamp set is so cute.

See all the details in the video below or in HD on YouTube:

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!

How to make an Easel Card
By  on May 21, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

When I first saw this stamp set I FELL IN LOVE! First of all…because of the bears (you know I love bears…they were my Dad’s favorite!) and then because of the Camper! So cute. These stamps are from a BRAND NEW Stamp Company! (Check them out here.)





**This is my second blog post for today….scroll down to see my other blog post featuring To A Friend stamp set (with the big summer hat!)





I knew that I wanted to make an Easel Card first of all! So today, I have a video sharing how to make two cards, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I decided to add some BEES!





This is a very easy tent card to make…and I am so happy to share how to make it in my video. It’s SO much easier to describe in a video than in words here on my blog…so don’t miss this video!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





This bear is so sleepy after his adventurous day! Isn’t this a fun card…that bear really makes me smile!





I highly recommend checking out this new Stamp Company!

Big Hats
By  on May 21, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have TWO cards to share using the same stamp set. I’m creating a Slimline card AND an A2 card. It’s easy to do when you have a great stamp set to work with like this one designed by Alex Syberia for Maker Forte.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I’m sharing the details of the coloring, creating, and inspiration in my video below, or watch it HD on YouTube:













I did realize AFTER making this card, that this image reminded me of Alexandra wearing one of her big hats. The very first time I met her in real life was in 2018 at Creativation and she had PURPLE HAIR! So funny.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





Doesn’t she look like she has been spending some time at the beach!?












		
		
			
			
		
	





Hope you enjoyed these projects today! See you next time with more cards.

Hedgehog Hollow May Kit: Golden Piano & Rainbow Keys
By  on May 13, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a reveal of the Hedgehog Hollow May Kit and a card! This kit is full of musical instruments with stencils, stamps, and ephemera that can be foiled. It’s a beautiful mix and there’s so much you can do!





I have a video sharing everything that comes in the kit, and making a card using the piano keys stencil, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













I couldn’t wait to use that piano keys stencil! It’s a fun one, but does need a bit of Pixie Spray (or removable adhesive spray) to keep it in place while you ink blend.





Does anyone else like a Golden piano with rainbow keys?! I thought this card would be a lot more colorful if I took some creative liberties with my colors. Lol. And it sure is fun (and different)!

Rainbow Woodgrain
By  on May 10, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I wanted to make a woodgrain background for my card, but I didn’t want it to be BROWN. So I decided to really take a leap from realistic woodgrain, and go with RAINBOW!





These are some really fun products from Scrappy Tails Crafts, and I think the woodgrain die is a favorite of mine! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













I couldn’t bear to throw away the “extra” pieces that came out of that woodgrain die. So instead, I made a second card! I turned it into a birthday card because I thought those pieces looked like streamers or confetti. So that made for a fun birthday card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





The woodgrain background die is really a Slimline die, but below I cut it down to be a MINI slimline card. It still works. (And the birthday card is a regular A2 size card!)
