Spring Bunnies Cards

By KariV on March 3, 2022 in Easter, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! It’s Kari here today sharing some of my favorite rabbits from the new Maker Forte Spring Has Sprung release! This might be my favorite release yet…it is filled with spring stamps, stencils, papers, gems and more. Today I am sharing quite a few cards…but ONLY the ones with rabbits or bunnies!

Card 1: Hip Hop Bunnies

How cute are these bunnies from the new Hip Hop Bunnies stamp set? Here I used the new Decorated Egg Stencil with Grape ink and then stamped the bunny on top. I colored it up with alcohol markers.

I stamped an EXTRA flower, colored it yellow, and popped it up on top for some dimension. That foil…that is a SNEAK PEEK for something good coming soon!

Card 2: Bunny Patch

This card features the new Bunny Patch stamp set…the carrot wagon and the 3 bunnies are from that set. They are adorable! I loved coloring these up with Spring colors. I added some polka dots to the background and used some of this cardstock to matte the entire slim line card.

I also used the NEW Easter Words Stencil. This stencil has 3 Easter phrases that you can mix and match…check out the next card I used this same stencil on:

Card 3: Spring Bunny

I used THIS new stencil together with the Easter Words stencil to make the sweetest baby card. I love a blue bunny! I used the new DIES here to cut out the “Welcome, Sweet Baby” sentiment.

The gingham paper is from THIS paper pack.

Card 4: Bunny Eggs Stencil

I loved this stencil: it’s a three-piece set and you can change up your colors! I made this one with lots of Eastery colors of ink and I LOVE how it turned out. There is also a bit of THIS new paper peeking out around the edges that I am OBSESSED with!

The Happy Easter sentiment is from THIS set.

Card 5: Peeps!

This Eggstra Sweet Peeps stamp set allows you to mix and match sizes of peeps, accessories, and eyes! Here I added a bow to the yellow peep and some glasses to the blue peep!

The background is made with THIS new background set in an ombre of pinks. I added some glitter to the background in various spots.

I hope you enjoyed these bunny projects today! I really enjoyed making them. I love making Spring cards, and Easter cards (and any cards, really!) Lol. If you haven’t seen the entire new release, check it out HERE. I have listed all the supplies in the listing below, using affiliate links when possible.

Patterned Background Design with Sprays

By KariV on February 26, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a favorite technique to share…using stencils and sprays. I created a short video to show the technique, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

This is a favorite technique…and I challenge you to try this with at least 2 different stencils and 2 different colors for one panel! It’s surprising and fun to see what you get in the end.

I hope you enjoyed this video and technique today. I’ll be back soon with more cards to share!

A Card with only Patterned Paper?!

By KariV on February 24, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m sharing a very RARE occurrence for me: a card made with only patterned paper! I just couldn’t resist the papers that came in the February Hedgehog Hollow kit…and they inspired me to make this card!

I know, right? So cute. I am sharing all the details over at the Hedgehog Hollow blog HERE…so go check it out!

It’s so very Spring like. I hope you enjoy!

Chocolate Truffles

By KariV on February 19, 2022 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a delicious post to share with Chocolate Truffles on a card! I also am creating a Chocolate Heart Box (that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day), but the chocolate truffles can be used all year.

Watch my video below or in HD on YouTube:

I’ve been so excited to share this, but had to wait for these to come back in stock again (they have sold out twice!) So, while this is after Valentine’s Day…the truffles can still be used at any time of year!

For the chocolate truffles, I die cut them with some white pearlized paper and colored them with Copic markers in brown, pink and grey. I built them up with foam squares to get a 3-D look.

I am completely in love with these boxes and can’t wait to make more for next year! I will use different patterned paper to get different looks. There is also an accent die that you can cut out a heart shape on the top of the box and replace it with acetate to make a see-through box lid!

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 these projects today! I just love those little truffles with their liners.

Love & Love Bug Tags

By KariV on February 15, 2022 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! I know it’s already after Valentine’s Day, but these tags can be used really almost any time….Love can be shared at any time! So I thought I’d still share.

It took me a little longer to edit and get this video posted, but it’s finally here! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:
