Shake It Up!

By KariV on January 12, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello…it’s a New Year so Let’s Shake It Up!! Today I have a mini slimline shaker card to share, with a bonus card. Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This first card is the shaker card…and I colored up those yummy cupcakes with Copic Markers. I just love this cupcake set!! I colored THREE cupcakes, and didn’t have space for all of them on this shaker card, so since I had the cut out of the HUGS as well, I made a second card.

How good does that chocolate look on this cupcake with the whipped topping?! I love a fancy cupcake. I have loved using all these products today! I hope you will watch the video to see the process of putting these cards together.

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!

Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll see you son with more cards to share.

Stealing a Kiss under the Umbrella!

By KariV on February 14, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a card with a couple stealing a kiss under the umbrella! I’m using the new J’Adore card Kit from Scrappy Tails Crafts.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This card kit has so much included: a large stamp set, a die set, a 6×6 paper pad, a layering stencil, and two packs of embellishments! Watch the video to see all that is included in the kit.

For this card I used the die set, the stamp set and some of the embellishments out of the kit. This die set is such a delight to work with! There is a base layer that allows you to add on each of the details of the die. I used ink blending to color up the elements this time, except for the skin…for that I colored with Copic markers.

That Scooter is from the stamp set…and I colored it up with blue markers. I love the idea of a scooter on a cobblestone path!

Sweet Spa Valentine with Vellum

By KariV on February 11, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a Sweet Spa Valentine with Vellum featuring some stencils and stamps from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

How cute is that furry doggie?! I love the colors pink and grey together so I went with that color scheme for this card.

This card was so fun to make! I started out by stenciling on those large paw prints with some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. Then I die cut a heart from some light pink cardstock. I stenciled on the heart paw prints from the Pawstome Stencil using Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.

I cut a vellum heart just larger than the pink heart. This will diffuse the background and draw the eye to the center of the card.

After coloring the image and stamping the sentiment, I put it all together using foam tape and liquid adhesive. For all the details, enjoy the short process video.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine Heart Box

By KariV on February 7, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! I’ve got the sweetest Valentine Heart Box to share with you today. I love a good heart box that fits plenty of chocolates, and this one is perfection!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I actually made one of these boxes last year, but THIS YEAR I added the heart add-on to my collection and I couldn’t wait to make a see-through box top!

How sweet is this box?! I used a clear acetate-like sheet for this box topper. The Heart add-on set is what allowed me to cut that opening for this box! So sweet. I added some paper chocolate truffles on top and REAL chocolates inside. I am really in love! <3

I also tried some Ferrero Rocher chocolates inside and they work just as well! You could easily fit more than five inside (like pictured below), but I loved the addition of shredded paper to snuggle those chocolates inside.

The pink box is one I made last year and oh did I have fun!

Beautiful Chocolate covered strawberries!

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I’ll be back soon with more papercrafting. Happy Day!

Cherries x 3

By KariV on February 5, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have 3 cherries projects to share with you using products from Pretty Pink Posh. I love these cherries and I couldn’t wait to make these cards (and an extra surprise!)

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I started with a simple cherry card below:

I started out with a Layered Hearts stencil, laying down some Uncharted Mariner Distress ink first, then a layer of Glitz Glitter gel. So pretty!

I set that aside to dry while I colored up the cherries and heat embossed the sentiment.

I knew those cherries would make a BEAUTIFUL full panel, so I started stamping a background of cherries and colored them up with Copics. Then, I turned it into a purse!

Doesn’t this make an adorable purse?!? I am currently obsessed with making purses, but a CHERRY PURSE??? C’mon! It’s too cute!

Last I made a cherry wallpaper for this card:

I love a cherry wallpaper, it reminds me of my childhood! Watch the video for the details on putting this card together.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! Check out my friend, Leslie’s store called Cobblestone Creek Studios. She’s in Oregon, but can also ship! That is where I got all my supplies for these cards. 🙂

See you soon with more projects to share!
