Happy Smiles to you!

By KariV on August 10, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m showcasing a super fun new stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs called Happy Smiles Stamp/Die duo.

This is a stamp set with the cutest teeth and the DIES to cut out those images! It’s also filled with lots of fun sentiments for Dentists, Dental Hygienists, Orthodontists, or anyone in the dental industry. I also thought these would be cute cards for kids who have lost a tooth!

Here’s my three cards I have to share today:

Aren’t these teeth so cute?! I love that they are holding toothbrushes with toothpaste on them! The rectangle dies I used on this card can be found here and here.

This next card is a BRACES card! I love these braces…I used four sets to create this card (they come in a set of two teeth with braces holding hands). I though the blue thread was reminiscent of floss! Lol.

The sentiment is perfect for this one: “Thanks for giving me so much to smile about.”

For this last one I felt compelled to color up different colors of toothbrushes! I used the Pierced Rectangles dies to create an interesting embossed background (this is one of my most used dies in my stash).

The banner die is from this set.

I hope you enjoyed these creations today. I have quite a few friends and relatives who are dentists, so I think they may appreciate these cards!

See you next time.

Have a Rainbow Kind of Day!

By KariV on July 26, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some fun rainbow themed cards for you using the Hedgehog Hollow July box. I am just loving this box so much, and I couldn’t stop creating with the cute images and papers that are included!

For my first card, I used the Ric Rac dies in the box and created a rainbow element on my card:

I used the papers to create the purple background and to paper piece her hat! I love a rainbow hat. Lol. I colored that little girl up with Copic markers, then attached her to the card using foam tape for dimension. The sentiment is white heat embossed on black paper.

This second card also uses many of the papers included in the box. They are so bright and fun so I had to make the rainbow die striped! (notice it matches her innertube!) This card came together so easily…I just took some Distress Oxide ink for the background, added the girl with foam tape, and stamped on some of the water droplets that are included in the stamp set! Some white Nuvo drops finished it all off.

I die cut the background using a frame die from my stash out of two different papers in the kit. And I really DO wish you a rainbow kind of day!

This last card was one I made FIRST from the kit, but I’m just sharing it today! I loved the idea of a rainbow color of those innertubes and swimsuits, floating along a ric rac river! Aren’t they cute?

I hope you enjoyed these projects today. I sure enjoyed making them. I cannot WAIT for the next box to arrive. For more information about these jam-packed subscription boxes, visit the Hedgehog Hollow here. Thanks for visiting!

Snapshots from the beach

By KariV on July 19, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m so happy to share a card that I’ve had in my mind since I got the Hedgehog Hollow July 2018 box! This is such a cute stamp set, and I just knew I needed a card that I’ve since titled “Snapshots from the beach.”

I used the fun bright paper as the background of my “snapshots” and colored up those cute girls with Copic Markers. I used the Ric Rac dies, also included in this July box, as a background for the entire card. I also used the Ric Rac dies on yellow paper and placed a portion of them in the upper right corner of one of the “snapshots” to represent the sun; and some blue Ric Rac to represent the water.

Doesn’t this just remind you of a beach vacation? So bright and fun!

One of my favorite things about these boxes (beside all the amazing content) is that there is also a coupon included for a couple companies, so I can add to my collection if I choose! This month there was a coupon for Sunny Studios stamps (the maker of these cute stamps I used on this card) and you know I will be getting some more goodies! Lol.
