Sequin Sublimation

By KariV on March 28, 2019 in DIY, Inspiration, Paper Crafting

Hello! I have one more project to share using the Artesprix Heat Transfer Markers that came in the Hedgehog Hollow March 2019 kit.

This was a fun one! I just could not wait to try sublimating on sequins!! So I found these pouches and gave it a try.

Check out my video below or on YouTube to see how to do this:

Now, who would’ve thought you could use these markers to heat transfer onto sequins!?!

It worked! And I was surprised and delighted! For the instruction, be sure to watch the video posted above.

If you are interested in the pouches I used, find them here. You can get these markers from The Hedgehog Hollow (in the March 2019 kit).
Thanks for stopping by!

It’s A Beautiful Life

By KariV on March 27, 2019 in Freebies, Paper Crafting

Hello! I got a new digital stamp from Jessica Lynn Originals and for the month of March it’s FREE*! (hurry on over here to get your Spring Goat digi stamp. I’m sharing this only because I love it and had a chance to color it up today.)

Affliliate links may be used when possible. When you purchase after clicking on these links, I may get a small commission. This helps to keep up my blog and bring you more projects. Thanks for your support!

I colored it up using copics, then blended on some soft green and blue for the ground and sky using these brushes. I just got these recently and I’m LOVING them so far! Use a light hand to add just a subtle brush of color on your card.

I added some dots with Copic markers for some interest on the grassy hill he’s standing on.

The sentiment is from this set and it’s one of my favorites! Lots of sentiments to choose from. Those cute clouds are just the right size.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you feel inspired to create a spring card of your own!

Corgi Love (with Heffy Doodle)

By KariV on March 17, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to be guest posting over on the Heffy Doodle blog. I’m featuring the new “Oh Crumbs” stamp set with the cutest Corgis ever! Head on over to the Heffy Doodle Blog to see how I made these four cards:

I also have a bonus VIDEO for you today, showing you how to Mirror Image any stamp in your collection.

See those Corgi cards on the left? I used the mirror image technique to get one Corgi to face the other! Such a fun technique and great when you want to have additional options.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I hope you give this technique a try yourself. I remember when I first learned how to mirror image a stamp from my friend Suzy…I was mesmerized and did not think I would be able to remember how to do it. But once you try it, it’s easy!

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the Heffy Doodle blog to see all four cards and details on how to make them.

Once Upon a Dream

By KariV on March 17, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello…I’m here with one more card for the Lawnfawnatics card challenge: inspired by a book, movie, or song!

Today I was inspired by Sleeping Beauty and I have a TALL card to share. I had to make this a tall card just so I could fit all the elements onto my card. Lol.

Do you recognize Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather? There’s also of course, Malificent at the top! And the owl with his animal friends represents the prince! If you have seen the animated version, you know that she is dreaming of her prince and her animal friends create this rendition of the perfect man!

I drew the boots and the cape myself, but the rest of the characters are from the following Lawn Fawn sets:

Screen Time (for Malificent)
Life Is Good (for the castle)
Fairy Friends (for Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather)
Critters in the Arctic (for the owl)
Open Me (for the birds)
Coaster Critters (for the small rabbit and squirrel)
Cole’s ABCs (for the die cut letters that spell DREAM)

Not Bad….only 7 sets this time! Lol.

Extra points if you guess why I did the background with pink and blue!!
It’s a nod to the end of the animated Sleeping Beauty when the fairies couldn’t agree on what color dress she should have, so they kept changing it to BLUE then to PINK and back to BLUE… Lol.

I know you…I walked with you Once Upon A Dream

For the background I used Distress Oxides, then I splattered on some white paint. Then to make the “magical sparkles” I used a white gel pen to add a million little dots. Lol.

I hope you enjoyed my Inspired By….Sleeping Beauty card today. I just realized how ironic it is that there is no sign of Sleeping Beauty herself on this card. I guess she’s inside the castle!

Linking up to the Lawnfawnatics Challenge here.

Thanks for stopping by!
