Stencil Foiling

By KariV on August 10, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some stencil foiling…with a stencil mask and through a stencil! It’s a fun technique and I hope you’ll stop by to watch my video:

I’m using products from Miss Ink stamps. I had a couple extra flamingos already colored up from a previous project so that inspired my card today!

I started out with the foiling process, using Decofoil Gel duo through my stencil (but adding that mask first!) You really need to see my video to see what I am talking about! Lol.

Once the gel was set aside to dry, I turned my attention to the magnolia flowers. These are gorgeous and easy to put together! (which I really appreciate in a flower die cut). I colored them up with Cool Grey Copic markers to add shadows and shading.

Once the gel was dry, I added pink foil and ran it through my mini minc machine. After the foil was done, I could add some ink to that quatrefoil design using the stencil once again! I love this set…so many possibilities. There is also a frame stencil in the set, which I didn’t use this time.

This is a super fun technique and I couldn’t resist making two panels… which turned into two completed cards!

The sentiments are from the Sunshine and Rainbows stamp set, another absolute FAVORITE set, because it has so many great sentiments. I reach for this one again and again.

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 always enjoy a little foiling and it’s been a while, so this was a fun one for me! Thanks for stopping by!

Foiled Background

I love a good foiled background! Today I have a tone-on-tone card to share with you using a favorite stamp set from the last Maker Forte Release.

[Note: I’m sharing all the details HERE at the Maker Forte blog if you want more detailed information on creating this card.]

Those lantern images come from the Christmas at the Cabin stamp set…this set has so many cute images to put together! I paired it with the Christmas naturally stencil to create that foiled background. (LOVE this stencil!)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Foiling an Art Journal and Card

By KariV on March 2, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m up on the Hedgehog Hollow Blog sharing an Art Journal and card with foiling! I loved these projects, so I hope you’ll head over and take a look.

I also have a video for you sharing just how to do these projects, with foiling and ephemera. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

These are super fun projects, and all my Art Journals have a meaning for me. Growing up I always had a parakeet, so I LOVE this ephemera parakeet and just had to incorporate that into my journal.

Hope you enjoyed! See you soon!

Critters in the Woods

By KariV on December 24, 2020 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card and video to share using the critters from the Hedgehog Hollow December Kit. I love these critters and so today I’m featuring FOUR of them as well as some fun techniques. I’m sharing ink smooshing, glitter, and gel techniques in todays card!

For the tutorial, watch my video below or in HD on YouTube:

To begin, I put four colors of Distress ink on my craft mat and spritzed it with water. Then I “smooshed” the bristol cardstock into the ink. I did this several times, drying the card with my heat tool in between each time.

Once I got it to a pretty stage, I allowed it to dry completely and then added some Metallix gel in Pearl White through the tree stencil. This gives a fun pearly shine.

I colored up the critters very simply and used some of the glitter in the box to add to their scarves and clothing. To do this, I simply added some liquid glue to the spots I wanted and sprinkled on the glitter. I allowed it to dry for a time before I shook off the excess glitter.

I cut out one of the toner sentiments from the kit, and added some NEW foil in the color Glass Slipper. I love this color! I ran it thru the Minc machine on the setting of 3.

Once the gel was dry, I added some green to the leaves using a Copic marker. Then I attached all the critters and sentiment to the card with foam squares.
