Not Just for Hanukkah Cards

By on November 21, 2020 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am thinking outside the box using the Hanukkah stamp set from the Hedgehog Hollow November Kit. I know very many people that celebrate Hanukkah, so I needed to come up with some other ideas for cards with this set.

First, I created a Hanukkah card using the Menorah (candles) from the set. I stamped it and colored it up simply with a gold gel pen and Copic markers. Then I added a shadow below it with Cool Greys to ground the image.

I matted it on some blue and white paper from the Kit. Lastly, I added some glittery Stickles to the candles to finish it off.

Then, I saw that dove from the set and decided to pair it with the branch to create a card. I took some alpha dies from my stash and cut out the word “PEACE.” I added some blue plaid paper behind the die. Then I added the dove and branch; I colored these up with Copics.

Since I had the white letters left over from this card, I decided to make ONE MORE card! I chose another paper from the paper pack, this time a snowflake paper. Then I added those letters and decorated them up with some gems. I drew a white gel pen frame around the perimeter of the card to finish it up.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today and use your stamps to think outside of the box! I’d love to see what you come up with.

Hello! Today I’m sharing a few sparkly, glittery slimline cards using the new “BELIEVE” stencil from the Hedgehog Hollow November Kit. This kit is beautiful, and if you haven’t seen it yet, I have a preview of what comes in the kit at the beginning of my video below!

These cards were so fun to create, and I am just in love with this stencil.

Sweet Christmas Girl

By on December 4, 2019 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card using dies only! Sometimes it’s fun to switch it up and use only dies on a card.

Isn’t she sweet?! I made her a candy-striped dress and red glittery shoes, with a holly headband! This is exactly an outfit that I dream to own…but I think I just might look a little ridiculous. Maybe one day I will be able to pull it off! Lol.

This sweet girl was colored up with inks and finger daubers! It’s so quick and easy to color up a die this way.

I have a video to show you how this all came together, watch it below or on YouTube:

That light green glitter frame is from a Spring glitter paper set, but I LOVED the lighter green for this card.

I added lots of fun finishing touches to her outfit: green stickles, white nuvo drops and leafy veins to the headband. Would you wear a candy-striped dress? How about red glitter shoes? Or a holly headband?!

I’ll be back soon with more holiday card fun!

Easy Wreath Cards

By on November 22, 2019 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m showing you how easy it is to create a wreath card using small stamps! I made 3 cards to share, choosing stamps from The Hedgehog Hollow November Kit.

These are soooo fun to make (and a little addicting…that’s why I made three! Lol)

I made a quick video to show you just how easy it is when you have a MISTI or other stamp positioner. Watch it below or on YouTube:

Make It Jolly

By on November 16, 2019 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have another beautiful holiday card to share with a favorite sentiment of mine this season.

Make It Jolly. So Jolly!

This card came together so quickly with the use of some glittery foil striped paper I found in my stash! Love the extra sparkle.

I first die cut the large HOLLY with bold alpha dies and inked them up with green Distress Ink. Then I popped those up on fun foam and added them to the foiled striped paper.

I used the same green ink to make a paper strip and stamped on the sentiment “Make it Jolly. So Jolly!” with embossing ink, then white heat embossed it.

To finish it all off, I added some holly die cuts and some Green Nuvo drops. You might be wondering why I didn’t add red Nuvo drops…well, the red that I had didn’t match the red foiled paper (it was too pink). So green it is!

I added it all to a pre-scored card base (these are a dream for making cards so easily!) and that’s it!
