Red Brick Spooky House

By KariV on October 23, 2021 in Uncategorized

Hello! I’m happy to be back and sharing another Halloween card! This time I have a Red Brick Spooky House to share, along with a no-coloring technique I hope you will love!

It’s all detailed in the video below, or watch it in HD on YouTube:

I love this new set from Miss Ink Stamps! It’s a great Halloween House and it also has the cutest critters in the set (I didn’t use them in my project today).

I LOVE this brick embossing folder. It looks so realistic, and it’s great in either red or grey! (I can’t wait to try other colors, too!)

I added some grout details with Distress Paints, and I really think that adds a lot. The technique for this is very simple, paint it on and wipe off the excess with your finger! I show you how in the video.

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!

Those sentiments are just perfect, aren’t they!?

I hope you enjoyed these cards today! I have a few Halloween projects left to share before the big day. I can never get enough in before the day sneaks up on me. Lol. See you soon!

Queen’s Castle becomes the Haunted Mansion!

By KariV on October 10, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun Halloween card using the Queen’s Castle from Miss Ink Stamps. This is a beautiful castle, but when you color it up just a little differently, it becomes a Haunted Mansion!

I paired it with the Boo Crew stamp set Trick-or-Treaters. How cute are they!? I love that the rabbit, mouse, and raccoon are all dressed as ghosts!

I’ve been waiting for the perfect card to blend these ink colors together for a background. This is the perfect card for these colors!

I have a video showing you how to re-create this card, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I added that moon behind the castle using a simple circle die. Easy masking makes it all possible! (for all the details, see the above video!)

Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon with more card ideas.

Sugar Skull Ink Blended Cards and GIVEAWAY!

By KariV on October 2, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a simple card share using the small Sugar Skull stamps in the September 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit.

I’ve been moving for the past week or so, and I really needed a break. This easy card really helped to reduce my stress levels…and I love how it turned out!

This is a favorite technique of mine, too: heat emboss the skull on the panel (I used both clear and white heat embossing powder), then ink on your favorite colors using a blending brush. I chose some fall colors of Distress Inks.

I added some gemstones in matching color to their eyes to add some unexpected sparkle!

I have absolutely LOVED creating with this kit. If you want to get one of your own, head on over to the SHOP to see if there are any still in stock!

Or, if you want to WIN the stamps and dies pictured below, head over to my Instagram and check out my giveaway HERE. (this will be a short giveaway so I can get these out to the winner for creating soon!)
