Magical Potions Card

Hello! Today I have a Magical Potions card using new products from the September Hedgehog Hollow subscription kit. This was a fun one to make!

I’ve created a short video to share what comes in the kit and how this card came together. Watch it below or on YouTube:

This was a fun one to create, and I just love those magical potion bottles!

Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop!  We are so excited to share amazing cards from our Design Team members using the new release!  For today’s special Blog Hop, you can win a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store! You can shop the BRAND NEW RELEASE HERE.

Today I’ve made TWO cards to share with you, so let’s get started!

Card 1: Trick or Treat Shaker Lollipop Card

I am loving the new Trick or Treat Jumbo Sentiment Die. Today I am going to use a Halloween color combination that I have always wanted to try: PINK, ORANGE, BLACK, and GRAY.

I cut the Trick or Treat Jumbo sentiment die out of pink pearl paper, and then I cut a second sentiment from black cardstock for the shadow. I offset the black cardstock a little to give it some depth.

I chose the NEW Pumpkin Spice Sparkle Mix to use on this card…together with some TREATS from the NEW Sweet Tooth Shaker Dies. These dies can create lollipops, cake pops, wrapped candies, and shaker pops! I’m sure there’s more combinations, too! Today I made some lollipops and cake pops.

How cute is that shaker lollipop?! I put the lollipops together with the Trick or Treat Sentiment and added the gray striped paper from the NEW 6×6 Fright Night Patterned Paper Pack for this first card.

I scattered more of the sparkle mix around the card for good measure. This one is fun to shake!

Card 2: Cake Pops Birthday Card

Since I had already created extra cake pops, I wanted to add them to a card! So I created a birthday card and popped up those pops with foam tape.

The hearts in the background are from the NEW Love is Everywhere Stencil. I love this stencil. The sentiment is from the Sweet as Pie special stamp set (that’s free with qualifying orders! See below).

I love that there is a drippy frosting die in this Sweet Tooth Shaker Dies set…perfect for these cake pops! I cut the “popsicle sticks” from woodgrain paper that I inked on with distress inks.

The frame is cut from the NEW Elm Street Dies. The frame is so perfect for a lot of different cards, not just Halloween cards! I can see a lot of use for this frame die in my future.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I’ve gathered the supplies I’ve used and included them here in case you are interested.

Foiled Background

I love a good foiled background! Today I have a tone-on-tone card to share with you using a favorite stamp set from the last Maker Forte Release.

[Note: I’m sharing all the details HERE at the Maker Forte blog if you want more detailed information on creating this card.]

Those lantern images come from the Christmas at the Cabin stamp set…this set has so many cute images to put together! I paired it with the Christmas naturally stencil to create that foiled background. (LOVE this stencil!)

SUNSHINE-stars-flip-flops-card-2

Patriotic Flip Flops

Hello and Happy 4th of July! Today I have some patriotic flip flops to share…inspired by a pair of flip flops I actually own.

I die cut the flip flops from white cardstock and then inked up the blue one with Vegas Strip ink. I used a stripe stencil from my stash to ink on the red stripes with Telephone Box ink. I used these same colors to ink up the straps.

Then I used a mini star stencil from my stash to add embossing paste on the blue flip flop. I set this aside to fully dry.

To assemble the card, I used a background paper from Honeybee stamps. I layered 3 sets of straps per flip flop and attached them with liquid adhesive.

Of course I had to add a gemstone! Then I stamped the sentiment with the same blue ink and die cut with matching dies.
