Antiquing Gilding Flakes

By KariV on October 12, 2023 in Christmas, Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have another card to share in my Halloween Card Series: Antiquing Gilding Flakes. I’m adding a cute (and spooky) ghost to a Thorny Frame Die so the ghost looks like it’s coming right out of that frame.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

When I saw that Thorny Frame Die I just knew I had to have it. I love it! I wanted to create this card with the ghost coming right out of that frame (how spooky is that)?!?

I’m using Gilding Flakes today and then creating a more antiqued look. This is a fun technique!

I created another card with this same technique using Gold Gilding Flakes and the new Scrooge stamp set from Whimsy:

You can see I only added the gilding flakes in small sections, and on the berries. See the video to see just how I created the gilding and then the antiqued look on those frames!

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! See you soon with another card to share!

“Howl”oween Shaker Tag

By KariV on October 8, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun “Howl”oween Shaker Tag to share. This Halloween set is super cute with all kinds of pups you can use. Today I’m creating a shaker with the new Tall Snowglobe die set from Heffy Doodle.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

How cute is that puppy witch?!? I love these images in this stamp set and I loved putting this little scene together. It’s so easy with the right tools!

I added some striped ribbon to the top and some orange ribbon around that to finish it off.

Looks like he’s brewing up some yummy treats!

I hope you enjoyed this shaker tag project today! I’ll see you soon with more to share.

Just Boo-Cause

By KariV on October 7, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! I have a quick Halloween card with some of the cutest ghosts around! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love a diamond background, and this is a new stencil from Miss Ink Stamps that creates a larger diamond and a smaller diamond…it also has a stencil layer that gives you the option to add hearts. So cool!

This stamp set has an IRON BURN MARK stamp in it, and I couldn’t resist adding it to that little ghost on the left. Isn’t that so cute?!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I am loving these quick Halloween cards.

Haunted Family Portraits

By KariV on October 5, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun and quick Haunted Family Portraits card to share with you. I’m using a SMALL 3×4 stamp set for this card…but this little stamp set really packs a punch!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Does this look like your family portrait hallway?! I was reminded of the Disney Haunted mansion with those family portraits whose eyes follow you down the hallway! So funny.

I love that there is a small silhouette stamp set with these images and this frame. It is perfect for building a portrait card like this.

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.
