Sunshine Watercolor card

By KariV on July 6, 2013 in Paper Crafting

Happy Holiday weekend! I’ve been working on sunshine and watercolor cards lately. I am sharing one today that makes me feel happy.

I love the look of the watercolored sun rays and sunset. And of course the colors are some of my very favorites right now.

Card Candi Challenge

By KariV on July 1, 2013 in Paper Crafting

I have three packages of Card Candi that I haven’t had the chance to use. So when I saw the Challenge from Simon Said Stamp, I decided that now was my chance!

See those circle shapes: the zebra and the hot pink metallic pieces? Those are the Card Candi.

I used Liquid Pearls to “paint” the word happy and I love the depth it adds to the word. It’s hard to tell in this picture, but I also watercolored a sunset behind the cutout and the flower.

It’s a simple card, but it does feel happy, doesn’t it?

Thank you Berry Much card

By KariV on June 21, 2013 in Paper Crafting

It’s the first day of summer. (Although it has felt like summer for weeks now, here in Arizona!) And to celebrate, I put together a little summer fruit berry card with a few scraps of paper, a few scraps of felt and a thanks banner.

I love strawberries in the summer, and how cute are they as the star of this card? Enjoy:

Inside:

I love felt as a medium for cards and tags. {See my orange felt slice here.}

Sending Happy Thoughts

By KariV on June 18, 2013 in Paper Crafting

It’s time to send a card to someone very special. (Hey, Sis, if you are reading this..don’t look! It’s on its way up to you)!
And I had a great time figuring out how to “Send Happy Thoughts” with my card.

I love this glitter paper that I used for the backing, and it just happened to match my embossing powder I used on the word “Happy” almost perfectly! I cut circles out to serve as balloons and drew on the string…”attaching” it to HAPPY. So THIS is how you transport a little bit of happy. 🙂 After I finished this card, I decided to add a little shine to the balloons with Glossy Accents.

Sending a few Happy Thoughts your way, too!
