“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’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 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.

Alice at Halloween

By KariV on September 23, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new Alice at Halloween video to share with you. It’s a new card in my Halloween card series! I am sharing 3 ways to make a Halloween card using non-Halloween stamp sets.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This card was fun and simple to make! All you have to do to create a Halloween card using some Alice stamps (or any other non-Halloween stamp set) is follow these 3 steps:

Use Halloween sentiments
Use Halloween colors
Bring in some small Halloween elements

The little pumpkins are from a few other Miss Ink Stamp sets I had…these are perfect for finishing off this scene!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I’ll be back so soon with another card to share!

Happiest Skeletons

By KariV on September 20, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new video and two cards to share with the Happiest Skeletons! I’m also sharing the absolute easiest way to mask and ink on a card.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I’m excited to share that Whimsy now has No Fuss Masks (for many of their stamp sets)…and one that they are introducing TODAY is this one to match this new stamp set!

For this first card, I stamped the images and then stamped the EXTRA hand and foot stamps on the background. I colored everything up with Copics (cool greys for the main characters, and warm greys for the extra limbs)!

I love this slimline Filmstrip Die…I do think it is perfect for this card. I stenciled on that spider and the bats in the background with black ink.

For this second card, I used those No Fuss Masks (which I LOVE!!!) and masked off the skeletons so I could ink on the backgrounds and add some stenciling and stamping, without getting ink on those main characters. It’s an amazing new product!
