American Gnome

By on June 14, 2022 in 4th of July, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a quick card sharing the June Hedgehog Hollow kit products. This month is full of fun Patriotic themes: 2 stamp sets, 3 stencils, 1 pack of Americana ephemera, and 1 pack of papers! Of course, I had to start off with my favorite stamp and stencil to create this card:

I love that flag stencil! I used Telephone Box ink for the red stripes, and Vegas Strip ink for the blue part. Then I added the white stars using embossing paste.

While that was drying, I stamped the gnomes in the same blue Vegas Strip ink and added spots of color with Copic Markers.

That sentiment is perfect for this card! I fussy cut the gnomes and popped them up with foam tape. The entire panel is matted with black cardstock. Isn’t this a fun card!?

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 project! Check out my reel on Instagram to see a sneak of everything that’s in the kit and how I made this card.





I’ll be back soon with more to share!

Hello! Today I have a fun project and video to share. I am re-visiting a stamp set that I absolutely adore (Alice) and pairing it with a NEW layering stencil set called Hug in A Mug. I think together they create a great, fun, colorful card and I can’t wait to show you.

I have to say, these Alice sets are among my favorites in my crafty studio! I just love when I have new product to use with them. 🙂

SUNSHINE-all-5-cards-with-sentiments
Sand Dollar Card Set

Hello! Today I have one last project to share with the May Hedgehog Hollow Kit. There are some FANTASTIC stencils in this kit, and I’m creating a set of cards with them.





I started off with some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, and inked on that sand dollar in a variety of beachy colors. I couldn’t leave out that sea shell, either! So I inked that one in pink.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





Then I added some sentiments using one of my FAVORITE stamp sets with lots of beachy sentiments (called Seaside Sentiments). I stamped all these in Remarkable Eclipse Black ink to bring them all together. Each sentiment is a little different, but they all have that beach theme.

I hope you enjoyed these beachy cards today! How fun to give these away as a set of cards. 🙂 I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

Dandelion Dreams

Hello…today I have a fun foiling project using a new stencil called Dandelion Dreams. When I saw this stencil I just knew it needed to be foiled! I prepared a short video showing this easy foiling technique.





Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













I just love this stencil. I chose a little Wolf from the new Wolf Pack stamp set! He looks like he could be blowing on one of those dandelions, doesn’t he? Make a Wish!

SUNSHINE-For-my-Cowboy-with-Farmhouse-Font-card-w-supplies-Kari-V
Howdy! Fancy Boots
By  on May 24, 2022  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! I’m excited to share a cowboy boot card with you today…it’s a FANCY boots card! Let’s face it, if I were to own cowboy boots, they would probably be fancy. Lol.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For this card, I first inked on the background with the “Walk the Plank” stencil and some tan ink (Flat White). Then I created the word “Howdy” from the new Mini Farmhouse Font stamp set from Maker Forte. I love this set, and it has already sold out a few times! But if you want it, keep checking back because they are always restocking.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I stamped one of the floral boots on a separate piece of cardstock and I also stamped a mask of that boot from masking paper. Then, I covered that boot with the mask and stamped it again to look like it was kicked up a little.





Now it’s time to color! I used my favorite colors of Copic markers for this boot. Then I fussy cut out the whole image.





For the sub-sentiment, I stamped that onto cardstock and colored it with a tan Copic marker, leaving in some lines to look like wood. I popped up both the sub-sentiment and the boots with foam tape.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used Welsh Dragon cardstock for the mat layer, to match the Howdy stamped sentiment.





If you don’t like to color: here’s another option stamping out the background in a bright color and then heat embossing the boot over the top!
