Masking a Snowflake

By KariV on December 16, 2023 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun Snowman card with a Snowflake Mask. This is a fun one because it involves masking with a stencil and masking with adhesive masks. I hope you enjoy the video!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This is a very unique and very cute snowman!! This stamp set offers a few options for his hands…I used the clasped hands and masked them off before stamping the snowman body. I do have to say: I AM IN LOVE with the No-Fuss Instant Masks from Whimsy! I just think they are genius!

After I stamped the snowman, I also masked off the body so I could use the It’s A Snowflake Mask Stencil to add that beautiful purple snowflake. You could create a snowflake in any color you want, of course!

I finished this card off with a mat of purple and some silver pearl beads.

How About a Tropical Christmas?

By KariV on December 2, 2023 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a Tropical Christmas slimline card featuring Santa and Mrs. Claus at the beach! I really loved creating this card…I pulled in a Slimline Postage die set to make it feel like a travel/postcard vibe.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I just love these vacationing Clauses! They look so happy with drinks in hand. I gave them a bit of glittery gloss on their sunglasses…movie stars!

I hope you will watch the video to see how this card came together, and to see my cardstock-saving TIP!

Does it snow for Christmas where you are? I think Santa & his wife really deserved this tropical vacation!

I hope you enjoyed this video and card today! Happy Christmas!

Croquet with the Queen of Hearts

By KariV on November 25, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new card playing Croquet with the Queen of Hearts. This is a classic scene and I really hope you enjoy this video below (or watch in HD on YouTube):

I used the new Croquet set from the Alice Collection at Miss Ink Stamps. For the rose bushes, I pulled in the Painting the Roses stamp set. For some more interest on the grass, I used the small spots stencil and for the sky the new layered stencil Card Suits.

I just love building a scene with these sets! The sentiment is perfect and to spell out the word “Croquet” I brought in the Modern Typeset Frame Die (that also includes an alphabet)!

I hope you enjoyed this card today! See you soon with more to share!
