A Very Merry (Caffeinated) Penguin

By KariV on December 14, 2024 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello, today I have a Very Merry (Caffeinated) Penguin card and video to share! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love that crested penguin from the Caffeinated Critters stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps! But indeed it looks angry…so I thought it would be funny to have a bunch of little penguins (from the Ice Day stamp set) all huddled around. Lol.

The sentiment is so perfect for this. But I also think it would be funny to build a sentiment that says “So Very Merry” with an alpha die set. (That was my original idea…then it morphed into this card).

I used the Punny Farm die set to cut the stitches around the entire panel. This is an A2 sized card (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″).

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 hope you enjoyed this project today! Happy Holidays,

Christmas Cakes Card set

By KariV on December 13, 2024 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a beautiful Christmas Cakes Card set and video to share! I love a hot foiled background with a glittery cake, so today I decided I could create that on a card.

There’s only 12 days to Christmas and I’m celebrating with Crafty Meraki! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I hope you’ll stop by to see the video! Happy Holidays!

Free Floating Shaker Card with Greetings from Mars

By KariV on November 23, 2024 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am creating a Free Floating Shaker Card with Greetings From Mars! Watch the video below or on YouTube:

This is a fun stamp set, and I just love those little creatures. You should see how funny they look when they are “floating” around with this shaker card!

I created a foiled star background to give a nod to the “Mars” reference (like a galaxy). Don’t worry– there’s no heat involved in this foiling effort!

I hope you’ll check out the video to see the full process and how to put this card together.

This could be a Christmas card for one of your weird relatives! Lol. Thanks for stopping by today! See you next time with more cards to share.

Hot Foiled Gift Box

By KariV on November 22, 2024 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new project and video to share…a set of Hot Foiled Gift Boxes! I am super excited to share the secret to getting this to work (because I wasn’t sure it WOULD work until I tried it!)

Watch the video here or on YouTube:

This is a project you really need to see! It is so much easier to explain it in the video, so go ahead and watch that first.

I started off with the beautiful hot foil plate called Jolly Holly from Crafty Meraki. I love this foil plate! I foiled some green onto a lighter green cardstock, some gold foil onto red cardstock AND some darker green cardstock.

Then, I put these boxes together and added a Metallic Bow from the Take A Bow Again die set. I just love how these little boxes turned out. They fit a good amount (5 or 6 easily) of Lindt Chocolates inside!
