Camping Meadow with the July Crafty Crew Kit

By KariV on June 5, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am a part of a video hop featuring the new July Crafty Crew Kit! I love this kit, it has so many goodies and a camping theme. Today I’m featuring Camping Meadow with some copic coloring.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This kit is pretty great, and if you haven’t seen the unboxing video, watch it HERE.

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’ll be back soon to share more cards and videos! Thanks for stopping by!

Alice Set of Cards

By KariV on May 28, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have an Alice Set of Cards to share that is so fun to create and will definitely bring smiles! Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I created six cards for this gift set, and included envelopes as well. I used the same elements to create the frame and background, but changed up the top stencils and the images. I think keeping some of the elements the same will create a cohesive set of cards!

I hope you enjoyed this set of cards today! I loved creating this and I just adore these sets from Miss Ink Stamps! I’ll be back soon with more to share.

EZ Wonder Die 2

By KariV on May 27, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am sharing the EZ Wonder Die 2 with multiple cards…this die is so awesome! Watch the video to see how easy it is to create multiple cards with 6×6 patterned paper (and not a lot of waste!)

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I created a bunch of cards (9 of them!) in one sitting with this die…and it was awesome!

I hope you enjoy these cards and the video! Here’s a little sneak: there’s an EZ Wonder Die 3 coming!! I’ll be back real soon with more cards to share featuring the new EZ Wonder Die 3! And if you are considering getting any of these dies…jump on that quickly; they are 90% sold out of the EZ Wonder die 1, and 70% sold out of the EZ Wonder die 2. I imagine they will go fast, especially when people hear there is a new one coming soon!

Playing with Fire (Stencil)

By KariV on May 24, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello, today I am playing with a new Fire Stencil from Miss Ink Stamps…this is such a cool one because you can add different layers and sized of fire AND you can even mask off the fire to create a different background.

Watch the video here or on YouTube:

I love the new sets from Miss Ink Stamps…this one is particularly funny with sentiments that make me giggle!

Today I thought I would make a “sort” of encouragement card with the sentiment: It’s trash can, not trash can’t!

Just how cute are those raccoons?! I used the Perspective floor stencil for the cobblestones to ground the images, and the new Flames stencil for the background. I think this flames stencil would also be cool for a car or a guitar scene!

I cut both the YES alpha and frames from the EIEIO Frame Die set…it’s so awesome to get both frame layers and an alphabet in the same die set. I get so much use out of Miss Ink Stamps’ frame dies!

Thanks for stopping by!

Imagine A Dragon

By KariV on May 14, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new video with two cards featuring the new Imagine A Dragon set from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I just love this new set…look at those dragons! I colored them up with bright colors with Copic markers.

The background is made by inking Oxide inks through the new Succulent Swirls stencil. I used a couple colors for each background. On the first card, I added some gold Lunar paste with another stencil for a bit of shine!
