Feline Spooky!

By on September 19, 2021 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello, I’m back with another Halloween card this time with new supplies from Miss Ink Stamps. This stamp set is called Feline Spooky, and I combined it with the new Halloween Sentiments stamp set.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I also used the “Square Dance” stencil to add a little interest in the background. I think this stencil looks a little like Gauze…so perfect for a Halloween card!

This is a fun one to color! In my video I share a way to add texture to your copic coloring.

The copic colors I used are:
Oranges: YR18, YR16, YR15, Y35
Black/Grey: N1, N3, N5, N7
Purple: BV17, BV13, BV11
Green: YG25, YG23, YG21

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!

Heart Clouds: Stencil technique
By  on September 11, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have another stencil technique for you, using one of my favorite stencils: The Heart Cloud stencil from Miss Ink Stamps.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













I absolutely adore the heart clouds you can make with this stencil. Here I added it to the center of the cards, but you can certainly add more hearts! To make that rainbow in the center, I added a stencil ON TOP of this stencil. It’s a fun technique.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the hearts, I used the same rainbow stencil and some sticky embossing powder. I heat set it just until the embossing powder went clear. Then I sprinkled the Dazzle Dust glitter over the top and heat set it again to “lock it in.”





Watch the video for a full description of how to do this.





My second card features the Heart Cloud with another one of my favorite stencils: Square Dance.

Stencils I use Over & Over
By  on September 7, 2021  in Uncategorized   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a video sharing some stencils I found that I use over and over again. I love these spotlight stencils and it’s such a bonus when they can be used for SO MANY types of cards.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	
I couldn’t stop making these cards with the Spotlight Stencil





The beautiful thing about this spotlight stencil, is there are many designs that are INTERCHANGEABLE! So you get all kinds of different looks, and they are so easy to create.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For this butterfly card, I used Kaleidoscope Powder in the background to get a glow and shine! I love the look on dark cardstock. (I show you how to do this in the video)






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





 This card turned out to be one of my favorites and it was super simple! I added a heat-foiled sentiment to finish it off.





Be sure to check out the video to see it all!
And TODAY there is a SALE on these products and more…check it out HERE.
