Queen’s Castle becomes the Haunted Mansion!

By 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’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!

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.

Mermaids at Sunset

By on July 26, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a mermaid card to share because I have been thinking about the BEACH! My favorite place to watch for mermaids is on the beach at sunset (that’s the best time, right?)

I made a video to show you the easy techniques for making that ocean and the sunset backdrop…and how to make real looking sand! And see how her tail just shimmers in that evening sun?! That’s a new favorite product of mine! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Hello! Today I have the sweetest little peanut butter and jelly jars for you, with some added detail that you won’t want to miss!

I’m working with the Hedgehog Hollow July 2020 Kit today, and the cutest food stamps and sentiments are included in this kit.

Just take a look at those peanut butter & jam jars!! So cute. But definitely needing some detail on the lids. So today I show you how to do just that.

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.

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!

Cheerful Cards with Woodland Whimsy

By on March 3, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to share three cards using the same stamp set. This set is from Gina K Designs and it’s called Woodland Whimsy. It’s a charming set filled with beautiful flowers and a hanging rod…so many possibilities!

The first card I made uses a beautiful sentiment from the set that says “Everything I am, You helped me to be.” I first wanted a rainbow of sentiments down the card, and it turned into this happy card:

The most important thing for this card, is to mask those flowers and leave a good sized white border. Then the inking is the easy part! I have a video showing you all the cards I made today.

Watch how they all came together in the video below, or in HD on YouTube:

For my second card, I was excited to use that hanging dowel. It made me think of when I used to dry flowers by hanging them upside down, and that is how this card was inspired!

You are remarkable!

I inked the background with that hanging dowel masked off. Then I added some green leaves to the background. The flowers and sentiment are popped up with foam tape to give this a 3D look. I added those topaz gem stones for some fun glamour!

My last card came into existence because I had FIVE flowers leftover that I had already colored. So of course I needed to create another card! So I die cut a simple thank you, inked up my favorite Gina K stencil, and created this thank you card.

One of these flowers is the one I stamped with ink, and the other four are colored with Copics. Can you guess which ones?!

I just love that there are solid stamps that give you the option of inking the flowers (or just coloring them yourself). You still get a great result!

I hope you enjoyed these cards today. I think they are so happy and cheerful, which is a great card for sending to someone special. See you next time! Thanks for stopping by!

Pin it for later:
