Fall Glowing Fireside Card

By KariV on November 12, 2023 in Paper Crafting, Thanksgiving

Hello! Today I have a fun Fall Glowing Fireside Card to share with a video. I love a good Fall card, and these Camping Critters are perfect for that!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

How cute are these critters!? I love them. I also love this new Bonnie Birch Trees die. It creates so much texture and interest to your fall background! Can you see the subtle tan diagonal stripe on these trees?

I colored up the critters with Copic markers and added some extra “fire glow” on them with yellow markers. Watch the video to see just how I did this coloring.

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 today! I’ll be back with another card to share soon!

Hello! Today I have a new card video for you: Alice Plays Croquet. I’m using some new products from Miss Ink Stamps that I really love: the new Filigree Card Suit Stencil and the new Croquet stamp set from the Alice collection.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Look how beautiful that stencil set is in the background! I hope you will watch the video to see how this card came together.

I hope you enjoyed this project today. I’ll be back real soon with more cards to share.

Frame into Wonderland

By KariV on October 28, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a Frame into Wonderland card with the Cheshire Cat. This is a fun card to make, and it does look a little dreamy!

Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

See that frame…it’s the new Woodgrain Frame die from Miss Ink Stamps! It cuts a frame and embosses a wood grain design into the cardstock at the same time. I love this frame and I thought it would make the perfect picture frame into Wonderland!

I started watercoloring the aspen trees and die cut them out. Then I stamped the background in a soft grey ink. I colored the trees and sky with a soft Oxide ink treatment. Those footprints are from a new stencil by the same name. I love a purple footprint to mimic the colors on the Cheshire cat. (I love seeing him smiling up in the tree!)

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

Glow in the Dark Cards

By KariV on October 26, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some Glow in the Dark Cards as a part of my Halloween card series. What’s even better: they have black kitty cats on them!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

These cards were so fun and easy to make, and the addition of GLOW PASTE really makes them pop. I have brought in my black light to take pictures of them to show you the glowing backdrops for those kitties.

Aren’t they fun?! To make these cards I started off with the stenciled backgrounds in a few different colors. Then I made the glow paste circles on black cardstock.

I colored all those cute kitties up with Copic markers and used foam tape to attach them to the (dried) black circles.

I stamped the sentiments and the spiderwebs with black ink onto the card panels and put them all onto black cardstock mats.

I really love how these turned out (even if I DID have other card ideas in my head). Sometimes these take on a mind of their own!

A COUPON FOR YOU!

Mass Producing Cards: Pine Branch Layering Stencil

By KariV on October 24, 2023 in Uncategorized

Hello! Today I’m Mass Producing cards with this awesome Pine Branch Layering Stencil. I hope you’ll check out the video to see how easy this stencil is to use…and if you have the die cut it’s even EASIER to make tons of cards fast!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

These cards are not only eye catching, but they’re also fun to make and QUICK! I used different embossing folders for each card and that really makes the backgrounds stand out.

I really love this Tree Ring embossing folder…it looks so nice with this Pine Branch. I also stamped and die cut a WHOLE BUNCH of Christmas sentiments so I could pick and choose which ones I wanted for each card. I love a set that stamps a bunch of sentiments at once, and you die cut them all together, too.
