Ink Blended Tags for Inspiration

By on May 22, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m up on The Hedgehog Hollow blog here to share these Ink Blended tags for Inspiration.

I love how these turned out! I used the quiet, unassuming line stamp in the lower left corner of this stamp set from the Hedgehog Hollow May 2020 Kit.

Check out my video for all the details, and a SECRET for getting almost any ink combination to blend well. Watch below or in HD on YouTube:

For all the ink combinations I used, head on over to The Hedgehog Hollow.

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!

Here’s one of the backgrounds I created inspired by one of the tags…I can’t decide if it should be a vertical or landscape card! lol. So I haven’t attached the hello sentiment until I can decide.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed the May kit this year…it’s already sold out, it has been so popular.

See you next time!

Craft Organization: Stencils and 6×6 Paper

By on May 15, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello again! I’m back with another installment of my Organization in the Craft Studio Series! Today I’m talking about stencil organization and 6×6 paper organization. The May 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit had a really great product that inspired me to do this organizing!

It’s the 6×7 Storage Pocket, and it’s sturdy with a tab at the top for easy labeling! Oh, I think I’m really going to love this!

Check out my video below or in HD on Youtube, where I also talk about the easiest way to organize and store stencils:

And of course, while I was organizing, I was so inspired by the papers that I had to create a quick card! Lol…ever wonder why it takes so long to organize?!? I get distracted!

I took a piece of the 6×6 paper and cut it down to 4.25″ x 5.5″. Then, with the remaining pieces, I fussy cut some of the flowers and popped them up with foam tape on the top left and lower right side of the panel.

I added a hello die cut, colored with alcohol markers, into the center and added some black Nuvo drops. That’s it! The easiest, happy hello card!

I hope you enjoyed my organizing tips for stencils and 6×6 paper today! And my card made with minimal supplies. 🙂

Craft Studio Organization: Embossing Powders

By on May 7, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have the second edition of Craft Studio Organization ideas with Embossing Powders. I’m up on The Hedgehog Hollow Blog today with all the details, but I’m going to share a ton of pictures here and a video.

I was excited to get this done, and I have to admit, once I finished this organization project, I left this drawer open just so I could look at it all day! Lol.

BEFORE
AFTER

I have a video showing you all the details and a few tricks I learned along the way, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I also made a card using embossing powders and matching inks. It was so easy with the ink swatching I did last week!

Craft Room Organization: Ink Swatch Book

By on May 1, 2020 in Inspiration, Paper Crafting

Hello again! I’m starting off May with some craft room organization using some products with the May 2020 Hedgehog Hollow kit. Today it’s an ink swatch book and I have lots of ideas for you!



These colors have me feeling HAPPY! I used the smaller stars stamp from the stamp set included in the May 2020 Kit for the Distress Oxides. For the Distress Inks, I used the STENCIL to ink the colors on (since I normally don’t stamp with Distress Inks…I use them for techniques and stencils).

I have a video with some tools and tips for you, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I love some good organization! I have to give a standing ovation to Jennifer McGuire for putting together all these 2×2 ink charts with LOTS of inks. She even includes a blank one so you can fill in your own inks, too!

I got the 3 colors charts from Ranger and Scrapbook.com and if you are interested you can find them here:

Jennifer McGuire Charts: https://bit.ly/3bTDNxb
Distress Ink & Oxide Charts: https://bit.ly/3d4ZoDb
Scrapbook.com Ink Chart: https://bit.ly/2KNJ6CB

For the Altenew inks, I stamped a flower with all the layering colors to see what they look like together.

Watch the video for all the details here.

I hope you enjoyed this today! I am so happy seeing all these colors together.

So have you done ink swatching in your craft room? I’ll be back real soon with more organizing ideas!
