Light up VW Van Cards

By KariV on July 18, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m sharing three Light Up Van cards. These are so fun to create and the light up headlights really take this card to the next level!

I created these cards with both EZ Lights and Twinkle Lights in my cards today, both of which have THREE lights in each set. However, today I only needed two lights for the headlights on these vans, and I show you how to do this in my video!

Watch the video here:

These van die cuts are a SOLID die cut and they do not have a way to let the light through. But I have a simple trick for you to alter this in an easy way to be able to add the lights! (Watch the video to find out!)

I actually added Twinkle Lights to this card, but I was lucky to be able to capture both lights on at the same time for this picture! They actually take turns lighting up and turn on and off when you press the button. It reminded me of taking a little beach break and having your flashing lights on! (Lol)

I really love these light up vans! You can create them in any color you’d like…today I made THREE cards: a blue van (of course), a pink van, and a yellow van! These are mostly traditional colors, but what would a PURPLE van be like? Or a Van with extra flowers and peace signs?!

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 hope you enjoyed these cards today featuring the EZ Lights and Twinkle Lights from Pear Blossom Press. They are my favorite way to light up a card! Happy Crafting!

Heffy Friends Inspiration Blog Hop

By KariV on October 19, 2021 in Uncategorized

Welcome to the Heffy Friends Inspiration Blog Hop! For today’s special Blog Hop, you can win a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store! (See details at the end of this post to see how you can win!)

Today I have THREE cards to share with you using some of my favorite new products from Heffy Doodle.

CARD ONE: You are LLamazing!

This card was a blast to make with the new ARIZONA stencil! I love that stencil so much…you can change it around to get the look you want to make cactus and 2 styles of mountains! I also colored up those llamas using my favorite “curly hair” technique.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube to find out how easy it is!

I love those happy llamas!

CARD 2: Alpaca my bags

For this card, I used the llamas again with more of a “traveling” theme. Those little suitcases are the cutest! I used the Fiesta stencil to ink up three colors of cardstock, then cut them at an angle and used one of each color to create the background. (this technique is also shown in my video!)

The sentiment is perfect for this card, don’t you think? For these “alpacas” I colored them up using more of a dot technique, rather than the curly hair technique.

CARD 3: Mole Lotta Love

This last card features an easy interactive mechanism made with the mini double slider die from Heffy Doodle. I couldn’t resist these little moles (which are currently a gift with purchase)

Card closed…what is lurking behind that grassy hill?

Card opened to reveal the mole with a rose!

I was inspired by some Halloween colors for this one (and my fingernails…LOL!)…and made it with dark purples, greens and blacks. To see how easy that interactive die is to put together on your card, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I can just imagine all the possibilities for this die!

Snowman Loses His Hat

By KariV on October 25, 2019 in Christmas, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new card to share with this cute Snowman image. I am using the October 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit in a new way…by altering the Interactive Die Cut to create a whole new look!

This is a cute kit, and I have a video showing you just how I made it and how I changed up the look of that interactive die. Watch it below or on YouTube:

I love that you can change up this kit and die to make it what you want. I hope this inspired you to look at your dies in a whole new way!

Check out the other cards I’ve made using this same die: here and here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Haunted House Interactive Card

By KariV on October 17, 2019 in Halloween, Paper Crafting

Hello there! Today I have a bit of a Haunted House issue…uh oh! I am using the interactive die from the Hedgehog Hollow October kit and some cute ghosts from a previous kit to create this haunted house.

Boo! The ghosts are coming out of the chimney!

Oh boy…there are ghosts in that chimney! I have all the details of how I built this card on the Hedgehog Hollow blog today…see it here.

I use the IRON OFF technique for that background spiderweb! First I stamped it with embossing ink and heat embossed clear embossing powder over the spider web. Then I blended on some Distress Oxides over the spider web. Once the ink was dry, I placed the panel on my ironing board, added a piece of plain computer paper over the top, and held the warm iron over it all for a few seconds. The computer paper absorbs the embossing powder and leaves the panel completely FLAT!

You might be asking…why did you want to remove the embossing powder? Well, I wanted to stamp that “BOO” over the top and needed a flat surface to add it. This allowed me to stamp in dark black ink. (I didn’t want a large sentiment strip on this card.)

Here’s what it looks like when you turn the dial…the ghosts pop up!

Isn’t that cool?! To put this card together, I attached the dial and arms with brads, then attached the full card base on the black card panel with foam tape. For a video tutorial of how to do this, check out my earlier video here.
