Christmas Gift Cards

By on October 14, 2020 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have three cards that look just like presents! I’ve combined a few of the new sets from Maker Forte to create this great look.

I just love the embossed ribbon AND the inked ribbon on these cards! Today, I have a video showing you how to create all three of these cards fast, as well as some tips for Copic coloring and adding detail to put these cards over the top!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For the colored cardstock, I chose some of my NEW FAVORITE holiday red & green cardstock. Then I heat embossed the ribbon. For the white cardstock, I used a dark red ink.

The “bows” for these presents are the new Christmas Roses and they are gorgeous!

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!

I really hope you have as much fun as I did creating these cards. Be sure to check out all the new goodies at Maker Forte!

Queen’s Castle becomes the Haunted Mansion!

By on October 10, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun Halloween card using the Queen’s Castle from Miss Ink Stamps. This is a beautiful castle, but when you color it up just a little differently, it becomes a Haunted Mansion!

I paired it with the Boo Crew stamp set Trick-or-Treaters. How cute are they!? I love that the rabbit, mouse, and raccoon are all dressed as ghosts!

I’ve been waiting for the perfect card to blend these ink colors together for a background. This is the perfect card for these colors!

I have a video showing you how to re-create this card, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I added that moon behind the castle using a simple circle die. Easy masking makes it all possible! (for all the details, see the above video!)

Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon with more card ideas.

The new October Hedgehog Hollow Kit

By on October 9, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a video sharing the NEW Hedgehog Hollow October Kit and a card using products from the kit (and a few extras!)

This kit comes with some fun products and today is a quick card…which, honestly, we all need at times!

I’m using the Nebula Kaleidoscope powder in this video, and I share a SECRET about the best paper to use with the powder, so don’t miss it! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I am loving this sentiment that comes in the stamp set from the Kit this month. There are so many great holiday sentiments included! I heat embossed in gold onto vellum to add over the stenciled Nebula powder.

To complete the look, I sprinkled on some confetti stars in English Mustard color. Yes, they are all attached individually with liquid adhesive! This task is made SO MUCH EASIER with the new Rainbow Craft Pick and Gem Picker.
