Fairy Cards with the New Kit

Hello! Kari here with a couple cards using the *NEW Hedgehog Hollow March 2021 Kit. This Kit is full of magical images and wonderful sentiments. Today I made the exact same card twice, changing up the color of cardstock only, and I got a dramatic difference!

I can’t believe just how different these cards turned out, when I used the EXACT same colors for ink blending, the EXACT same fairy stamp, and the EXACT same techniques on both cards. This is so fun.

Watch my video below for all the details, or watch 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!







This kit is so much fun. I have so many ideas already! And I’ll be back sharing more inspiration from this kit soon.

Foiling an Art Journal and Card

Hello! Today I’m up on the Hedgehog Hollow Blog sharing an Art Journal and card with foiling! I loved these projects, so I hope you’ll head over and take a look.

I also have a video for you sharing just how to do these projects, with foiling and ephemera. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

These are super fun projects, and all my Art Journals have a meaning for me. Growing up I always had a parakeet, so I LOVE this ephemera parakeet and just had to incorporate that into my journal.

Leprechaun Gnome

Hi again, it’s time for some lucky cards….and today I have a gnome that I’ve turned into a leprechaun! I love this little gnome and I think he works perfectly on this card.

I have a video showing you all the details, including how to make a rainbow with just three colors. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Isn’t he just so cute as a leprechaun?!

I used some of the Dazzle Dust from Miss Ink stamps and look how it changes colors! It’s awesome how it changes from blue to green! I also added plenty of other sparkle here, of course.

I hope you enjoyed this fun card today! I’ll see you soon with more cards!

Springtime Gnomes

Hello! Today I have a sweet Spring card to share with the *New Springtime Gnomes set from Maker Forte. This set has so many awesome Gnome images with eggs and spring characters! Today I chose the Bunny Gnome and paired it with some great patterned paper designed by Alex Syberia.

I thought those big white flowers looked a little like billowy clouds! So I loved it with this scene. I cut the paper down to A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″). Then I stamped and colored the gnome with spring colors of Copic Markers.

The sentiment strip is from the Friendship Simple Sayings set. I cut it down to size and colored it with a purple Distress Ink to match the polka dots on the egg. I added a silver glitter paper just beneath the sentiment.

How cute is that little chick?! I added some die-cut grass and then popped up the gnome on top with foam tape.

To finish it off, I added a little Unicorn Stickles to the “clouds.” Then I put it all onto a heavy weight top-folding card base.

Breathe, Brave Bear Art Journal and Card

Hello! Today I am (finally) sharing my One Little Word of the year, and creating an Art Journal and Card. I share my Brave Bear art here, which is very meaningful to me. Bears are my father’s favorite, and I lost him just after Christmas.

Please watch the video below, or in HD on YouTube for all the details of putting these projects together:

I wasn’t sure what I was going to put onto my art journal, UNTIL I was creating a card with my ONE WORD, and this song came on. I paused and listened to the words. And that’s when I knew these words were PERFECT!!

I love how we get signs and promptings to help us when we need it. And I truly believe these were brought to my attention at just the right time.

Thanks for stopping by today!
