Merry Penguins

By on December 11, 2021 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m so excited to share with you this merry penguins card using my favorite penguins from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

These sweet penguins have fun accessories you can use including: Santa hats, candy canes, fish, and reindeer antlers! It’s fun to mix and match.

I colored them up with Copics, and added some highlights with a white gel pen and stardust stickles.

2 Slimline Cards with The Hedgehog Hollow
By  on November 30, 2021  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have 2 slimline cards to share using the Hedgehog Hollow November Kit. This kit has a lot of slimline options so I couldn’t just stop at 1 card!





Card 1





My first card is made using the slimline cardstock in the kit. I inked on a cable knit slimline stencil (all supplies linked below) using 2 colors of ink: Tartan Teal & Everglades.





Then I placed the “Let it Snow” stencil from the kit over the top of my inked panel. I smooshed some clear sticky ink through the stencil, removed the stencil, and sprinkled on some Rainbow Sparkler embossing powder. After I heat set it, the glitter sparkle really stands out!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I matted the entire panel on my favorite color of cardstock: Welsh Dragon! Then I adhered it all onto a slimline card base.






		
		
			
			
		
	
Look at that sparkle!





Card 2





For my second card, I wanted some touches of red! So I stamped the vertical sentiment “Hot Cocoa” and the cocoa cup just over the top of that with Telephone Box ink.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I cut down this panel and added it to some red cardstock, and then green glitter cardstock.





For the back panel, I used the snowflake only from the “Let it Snow” stencil and inked on some Blue Raspberry ink. Then I stamped a small snowflake stamp from the kit in some Blue Moon ink.





I added that to some British Racing Green cardstock and put everything together!






		
		
			
			
		
	





Some light green gems finished it all off.





But I didn’t stop there! I used the corner Peppermint Sticks stencil on a slimline envelope using Telephone Box ink.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I will write the recipient’s name and address just below and to the right of the stenciled design.

Handmade Candy Book
By  on November 15, 2021  in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! I am excited to share this project with you today….we are making Candy Books from cardstock! Remember those lifesaver books that made an appearance this time of year? Well, that’s kinda the idea with this project.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I have a video with ALL the details of how to make this, watch it here or in HD on YouTube:













For the front cover I created a book jacket with silver vellum (I love this stuff!). I heat embossed the stamp from “All I Want for Christmas” on the vellum and I really love how it turned out.





For the inside, I stamped in red and green using the Tough Nut to Crack stamp set.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





On the spine, I added some details with stamps and glitter tape. I love the font of the scripty “Jingle all the way.”






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the back of the book, I wanted some interesting texture, so I used the Damask stamp to clear heat emboss a design.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I have a few other ideas for the book front cover, too. You could easily change out this book jacket cover for a stenciled front cover. Here’s my favorites from the newest Maker Forte release:






		
		
			
			
		
	
Stencil this one up in reds and greens for a festive look!






		
		
			
			
		
	
A pretty Poinsettia!






		
		
			
			
		
	
Make them all have red glittery noses…or just one!





I hope you enjoyed these projects today…these are definitely favorites of mine!

Hello! Just popping by to share a Halloween card that I love! These little ghosts are new from Miss Ink Stamps and they are the cutest trick or treaters.






		
		
			
			
		
	





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.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used a light grey and purple ink this time on this stencil, I think those colors are great for Halloween!
