New Hedgehog Hollow Kit Unboxing

By on October 11, 2021 in Uncategorized

Hello! Today I have the new Hedgehog Hollow October Kit to share with you. This Kit is filled with stamps, stencils, papers, and a white rubber background stamp! The theme is Medical Heroes and it is fabulous.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

First I stamped that yummy background stamp with a light gray ink (Fog…my favorite!), then I stenciled the rainbow stethoscope stencil over the top using neon inks from Maker Forte. I love that you can still see the stamped designed behind those inks.

I used some Metallix gel on the stethoscope and added some glitter while it was still wet. Some Limewired gems added even more sparkle to the card.

I also have to shout out to The Rabbit Hole Designs for their new mini blending brushes…I could ink on the rainbow arcs without having to mask off the other arcs! I have a feeling I’m going to use these a lot.

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 today!

Halloween Color Combos
By  on October 9, 2021  in Uncategorized   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a video sharing my favorite Halloween ink Color Combos. I have the most amazing Halloween Mandala stencil from Miss Ink Stamps and I will create 3 easy cards!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





Take a look at the detail on this Halloween Mandala stencil! So beautiful. For this card I used some purple and black Distress Oxide inks.





I heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder (3 times) to create a metallic looking embellishment. Then just a few silver sequins finished off this card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I watercolored the cat for this card (using a blue undertone). Watch the video to see the watercoloring tips!





I used 2 sentiments stacked together to finish this card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





The large “Spooky” sentiment is perfect to fill up a card front. Just add a few ghosts with foam tape to complete this one!

Altenew Educators “Alphabet Name Game” Blog Hop and Linky Party + Giveaway

Hello! Today I’m joining in the Alphabet Challenge along with other Altenew Certified Educators! The Challenge was to use the FIRST LETTER of your FIRST NAME and share a card technique with that letter!!





My first name starts with a “K” and let me tell you…there are not many card techniques starting with that letter! But I did come up with a good one to share: KISSING!!





So today I have four cards to share using the KISSING technique.






		
		
			
			
		
	






The idea of this technique is to take a solid stamp and “KISS” it to another stamp to add some design.





The best way for me to share this technique is through a video, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













This is a really fun technique, just search for some solid stamps and stamps with a design you can combine together. I think this would be a really fun technique to try on a large flower, too!

I created a video to show you how to easily put a card like this together, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













I just adore these products I’m sharing today. If you’ve been following me, you might notice this stencil is a favorite…I used it before on THIS Alice in Wonderland Card.
