Easy Floral Hedgehog Card

By KariV on January 3, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello and Happy New Year! Today I have an easy floral hedgehog card for you. This sweet stamp came in the December Hedgehog Hollow Kit and I was so happy to create a card with it.

I am also so so excited to share with you my new favorite BLACK INK for Copic Coloring!! This is the first time I have ever tried this ink and it was impressive! I stamped only one time and got a clean, crisp impression. It dried quickly and I colored right away with Copics and had NO SMEARING!! This is big! (sorry for all the exclamation points, but I couldn’t be more excited about this ink)

The hedgehog is such a good size, it can fit on an A2 size card either vertically OR horizontally.

This is a simple card, but I stepped it up a bit with some light inking around the edges with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I also foiled that sentiment with some of the new Lily Pad foil in the Fairy Tale collection. I love this color!

I also added more interest with Stickles in yellow and turquoise and some Nuvo Jewel drops in Lime. (I’ve listed everything below if you are interested)

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!

Wishing you a very happy 2021! I hope you get a chance to try this new ink pad that I love! Thanks for stopping by.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful Holiday season!

Have an Amoosing Day

Hello! Today I have a MOOSE card to share, complete with a punny sentiment! These images are from the December Hedgehog Hollow Kit.

Oh is this kit filled with the cutest critters and sentiments! I just couldn’t resist this moose to make a card.

I searched and searched for some buffalo plaid paper to use for my background, and came across this red plaid paper. Good! Then I colored up the moose and the heart image.

I fussy cut those out and started to assemble the card. I really wanted a sort of “Half-wreath” for the moose to stand on; so I die cut some leaves from a die in my stash. This is from the new Altenew stand-alone die release and I have a feeling I’m going to get A LOT of use from this one!

I used liquid glue to adhere the leaves to the card panel, then I popped up the moose, heart, and sentiment with foam tape.

For extra detail, I added a heart enamel dot to the heart and a white frame around the entire panel.

This makes me think of the time I saw a REAL moose in Jackson, Wyoming. I was on a ski lift and saw one off in the distance. And even though it was far away, it was still somehow MAJESTIC! Have you seen a moose in real life?

Thanks for stopping by today!
