Mailbox Gift Set

By KariV on December 7, 2022 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am sharing some favorite holiday products that I LOVE to create with. This is a Mailbox set that I made for family members this year.

Aren’t these mailboxes so cute?!? In the spirit of the holiday season, I created red mailboxes with lots of greenery in different colors. I got some different greens using GLITTER PAPER, INK BLENDING, and MICA SPRAYS!

I really think Spellbinders did a beautiful job in creating this array of products. I also used the peppermint stick and the starlight mint with the holiday add-on set.

For the sentiment on the mailbox, I chose to heat emboss in gold embossing powder using the stamp set. They also have a hot foil plate set so you can use foil if you would like!

I used a Postage Stamp Infinity die from Hero Arts for the layer just behind the mailbox. To add a little more interest, I used an embossing folder with a beautiful dot design on that layer.

The back layer is plaid Christmas paper! I love using plaid paper for Christmas and I chose a variety here to mix things up a bit.

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 can’t wait to give them to my family at our Christmas party. See you soon with more papercrafting projects!

Ice Bouquet

By KariV on November 14, 2022 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a quick holiday card to share with you. I’m using the new Ice Bouquet stamp set from Maker Forte. It’s such a beautiful image!

For this card, I stamped the image and colored it with Copic markers. Then I used the Candy Cane stripe stencil to ink on some light inks in red and green. I did not mask the image off, but I was careful to not ink over the image.

I added some Stardust Stickles (my favorite!) over the ice skate for some glittery shine. Then I finished it off with some iridescent sequins.

I hope you enjoyed this project today! Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Gift Cards

Hello! Today I have three cards that look just like presents! I’ve combined a few of the new sets from Maker Forte to create this great look.

I just love the embossed ribbon AND the inked ribbon on these cards! Today, I have a video showing you how to create all three of these cards fast, as well as some tips for Copic coloring and adding detail to put these cards over the top!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For the colored cardstock, I chose some of my NEW FAVORITE holiday red & green cardstock. Then I heat embossed the ribbon. For the white cardstock, I used a dark red ink.

The “bows” for these presents are the new Christmas Roses and they are gorgeous!

I really hope you have as much fun as I did creating these cards. Be sure to check out all the new goodies at Maker Forte!

Do You Want to Build a Snow Globe?

By KariV on December 6, 2019 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a Snow Globe card to share, created with basic shape dies. This cute snowman stamp is from the Hedgehog Hollow November Kit and it’s perfect for this holiday card!

I used nesting Circle dies for the Snow Globe frame, and a rectangle die to create the Snow Globe and base. The background of the Snow Globe is cut with a circle die to fit right inside.

I show you just how to create this Snow Globe and put the entire card together below, or watch it on YouTube:

I added the “snow” with Metallix White Pearl gel. Then for finishing touches, I added Black Nuvo drops to his eyes, mouth, and coal buttons. A little glitter pen on his scarf and antlers give a little extra sparkle!

The background paper is some I had in my Christmas stash, and I thought it was perfect for this snowman card. You can use any holiday paper you have, or create your own inked background.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this Snow Globe project today. See you next time!
