The Magical Mirror

By on October 8, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a magical mirror card to share! This is a fun one and I’m using the new Magical Collection from Miss Ink Stamps.

I have a video sharing all details, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I used the new Magical Stars stencil for the background, and inked it up in a rainbow of colors. Then I offset the stencil to add some gold glitter stars in between that rainbow of stars!

I love that this Heart’s Desire stamp set has coordinating dies. The dies allowed me to cut out the center of the mirror and replace it with MIRROR CARDSTOCK! See my video for how I colored the mirror to look like wood-grain.

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!

SUNSHINE-Fresh-from-Port-and-Beacon-of-Light-card-2-Kari-V
The Port at Sunset

Hello! Today I have a simple card with a sunset feel…I love cards like these that have such an impact, but are so easy to make!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I first stamped the brushstroke background stamp in yellow ink. Then I added some Red Leicester and Pink Flamingo inks just around the edges. I blotted the ink before stamping so as not to get harsh lines.





I then stamped the ship images over the top, with the sentiment in Eclipse Black ink.






		
		
			
			
		
	





To complete this card, I used some yellow cardstock as a mat. VOILA! A simple and stunning card!

What’s Brewing?
By  on September 29, 2022  in Halloween, Holidays   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a small witch’s cauldron card to share using the September Hedgehog Hollow kit. I have to say these images in the stamp set are so fun to create with! Today I chose a ghost and a witches hat (combined they create the cutest Witch Ghost!), a cauldron, and a broom.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I chose a couple of the papers from the kit: a grey spiderweb paper and a black and white bat paper. I changed the bat paper to GREEN with a little Limewired Color Hive ink…this is a neon green and so perfect for this Halloween card!





Then I cut down the spiderweb paper to be a little smaller and inked on the “BOO” from one of the stencils in the kit. I set that aside to dry while I colored the images.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used Copic markers to color these images and tried to match that Limewired ink color for the hat. The cauldron got a line of Limewired gems that matched perfectly!





Before I added these images with foam tape, I inked the edge of the spiderweb paper with Vegas Strip ink to give more of a contrast.





Then I put it all together on a card base! So. Much. FUN!

Hello! Today I have a new craft organization video for you all about alcohol ink swatches.





It’s been a while since I’ve shared craft organization videos, and it’s past due! I was working on catching up on swatching my alcohol inks, so I thought I’d share it with you. 





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













In my video I share the paper I use for swatching and why, as well as other supplies and my favorite practices.
