Sending Hedgehugs Slider card

By KariV on August 23, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hi there! I have a fun slider card for you today using products from The Hedgehog Hollow August box.

This is a dimensional card, I cut multiple layers of different sized stitched squares in each layer. Then I added some foam in between the layers to create that dimension. The very top layer has the slider with the hedgehog on top of the double-decker bus (he’s delivering the hugs!)

That very cool slider element is this slider set here.

When I completed and took pictures of this card, I decided to add a little USA heart in the place of the “o” and here’s how it turned out:

Which one do you like better?! I also added a stamped envelope:

And VOILA! It’s all ready to send to my friend in England from the USA! This is such a fun box, and I loved coloring up those hedgehogs in a variety of ways. Check out my other projects I made with this box here, here, and here.

For more information about these subscription boxes, check out the Hedgehog Hollow shop here. One of the reasons I love these boxes is that you get a different company stamps and/or dies in the box each month (it’s always a fun surprise)…and it’s a great way to try out new stamps!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Get Well Soon Bandages

By KariV on August 17, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m showcasing the bandage dies from Our Daily Bread Designs. I love these bandage dies…when you die cut them and then emboss them, they look like real bandages!

Here I used kraft paper to cut and emboss the bandages:

The “Ouch” sentiment is from the Get Well Wishes stamp set. (This stamp set is just full of great wishes!) I added some glitter hearts in rainbow colors to match the colors of sentiments. The heart die cut is from this set.

My next card, I die cut the bandage from white paper and then used my Copics in E30 colors to color them up. I love this look…I really feel like they look like the real bandages!

The stethoscope and doctor bag dies are now some of my favorites! I did use a bit of silver embossing powder on that stethoscope to give it a metallic look.

The plaid paper is from the Boho Bolds paper pad and I used this paper for the Get Well Wishes die, too! That is some good looking plaid… Here’s a little close up:

I think this Get Well Soon die is such a great size! When you make a landscape card (like this one), it will all fit on an A2 size card (4.25″ x 5.5″).

When you want to create a portrait card, the Get Well Soon dies will also fit using only the first two words:

I hope you enjoyed this look at these dies from Our Daily Bread Designs. For more inspiration from the design team, be sure to visit the Our Daily Bread Designs blog! Thanks for stopping by.

Balloon Over London with Hedgehog Hollow

By KariV on August 16, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card to share that I like to call “Balloon Over London” featuring the August Hedgehog Hollow subscription box.

I just couldn’t resist the idea of this little hedgehog floating over the London skyline at dusk. He’s on an ACTION WOBBLE (that came in the subscription box), so he moves and wobbles and it’s so cute!

I used Distress Oxides to ink up the background in the colors Fossilized Amber, Broken China, Faded Jeans, and Seedless Preserves.

I colored the images using the Marvy Watercolor pencils that came in the box, and then added detail and dots with markers and a white gel pen. Here’s a close up:

Isn’t he cute?! I love this month’s box.

If you haven’t heard…there’s a sneak peek to next month’s Hedgehog Hollow box and it’s going to be featuring Catherine Pooler!! (So exciting!) If you haven’t tried Catherine Pooler inks, you are in for a treat…because one of her NEW ink colors is going to be included in the box! We will also be seeing some beautiful floral stamps and I just can’t wait to ink those up.

For more information about these boxes, visit The Hedgehog Hollow.

Happy Smiles to you!

By KariV on August 10, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m showcasing a super fun new stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs called Happy Smiles Stamp/Die duo.

This is a stamp set with the cutest teeth and the DIES to cut out those images! It’s also filled with lots of fun sentiments for Dentists, Dental Hygienists, Orthodontists, or anyone in the dental industry. I also thought these would be cute cards for kids who have lost a tooth!

Here’s my three cards I have to share today:

Aren’t these teeth so cute?! I love that they are holding toothbrushes with toothpaste on them! The rectangle dies I used on this card can be found here and here.

This next card is a BRACES card! I love these braces…I used four sets to create this card (they come in a set of two teeth with braces holding hands). I though the blue thread was reminiscent of floss! Lol.

The sentiment is perfect for this one: “Thanks for giving me so much to smile about.”

For this last one I felt compelled to color up different colors of toothbrushes! I used the Pierced Rectangles dies to create an interesting embossed background (this is one of my most used dies in my stash).

The banner die is from this set.

I hope you enjoyed these creations today. I have quite a few friends and relatives who are dentists, so I think they may appreciate these cards!

See you next time.
