Otterly Adorable!

Hello, I have some cute cards to share today with the cutest critters. I just can’t decide if they are otters (like the stamp set suggests) or baby seals.

Give my video a watch and let me know what YOU think. Watch it below or on YouTube:

In my video I share easy ways to make multiples, and change up a few things to get a different look!

Seashore Cards featuring Maker Forte

Hello! Today I’m using some of the new stamp sets from the Under the Seashore release from Maker Forte. I have 2 seashore cards to share!

Card 1: Mermaid with the Blues

This card features the Ocean Borders stamp set, which has a beautiful seashell border, some great sentiments and this amazing mermaid stamp:

I stamped this with multiple colors of ink, first stamping the top section with Blueberry Cheesecake ink. Then, I inked on the next section with Icy Mist ink and I dabbed off some ink where the two inks would meet so I wouldn’t get a harsh line. I stamped that layer of the stamp.

Next, I inked on Blue Raspberry and finally Vegas Strip inks. (always using my microfiber cloth to dab off between the colors)

That sentiment is so true: I need Vitamin SEA!

I matted this with multiple layers: using Aged Antique vellum for one layer, and Eclipse Black cardstock for the next layer. The final layer of white is the 110# white cardstock card base.

Card 2: True North

This next card features the True North stamp set. I love all these images and the overall vibe they give. There are many shells and this really awesome octopus. I couldn’t resist stamping that octopus in multiple colors for the background!

The ink colors I used for the Octopus are: Vegas Strip, Blueberry Cheesecake, Flat White, Blue Raspberry and Icy Mist! Are you noticing a trend in my color choices for these cards?!

I stamped the anchor image in between each of the octopus with Fog ink. I used some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock to mat the entire panel and added a few gems to finish it all off.

SUNSHINE-Pretty-Princesses-card-close-up-Kari-V

For Your Princess…and Gamer

Hello! Today I’m sharing some Princess and Gaming cards. These are from the new Young At Heart Collection from Maker Forte and they are so fun.

This princess is among my favorites and I simply stenciled the background and foiled an oval spotlight for her. I colored the image with Copic Markers and picked my FAVORITE sentiment!

Speaking of favorite princesses, there is a brand new set called Once Upon a Time that I ADORE! I have actually colored them up to look like certain famous princesses, but I’ve only had time to turn one of them into a card:

She looks pretty in pink, don’t you think? I added some white gel pen detail to her outfit to make it “sparkle.” That background is made with some shapes from the Boho Watercolor stamp set (it’s so great for creating patterns!) I added some chameleon sparkle paper behind this princess to make her pop.

This card was a breeze to make because that background is a printed paper!! I just colored up and added that carriage with a crown on top, then added a sentiment! So magical.

This last card is for the gamer in your life! Do you remember those hand-held gaming devices? Loved those!

SUNSHINE-Bunny-Patch-card-crooked-with-supplies-Kari-V

Spring Bunnies Cards

Hello! It’s Kari here today sharing some of my favorite rabbits from the new Maker Forte Spring Has Sprung release! This might be my favorite release yet…it is filled with spring stamps, stencils, papers, gems and more. Today I am sharing quite a few cards…but ONLY the ones with rabbits or bunnies!

Card 1: Hip Hop Bunnies

How cute are these bunnies from the new Hip Hop Bunnies stamp set? Here I used the new Decorated Egg Stencil with Grape ink and then stamped the bunny on top. I colored it up with alcohol markers.

I stamped an EXTRA flower, colored it yellow, and popped it up on top for some dimension. That foil…that is a SNEAK PEEK for something good coming soon!

Card 2: Bunny Patch

This card features the new Bunny Patch stamp set…the carrot wagon and the 3 bunnies are from that set. They are adorable! I loved coloring these up with Spring colors. I added some polka dots to the background and used some of this cardstock to matte the entire slim line card.

I also used the NEW Easter Words Stencil. This stencil has 3 Easter phrases that you can mix and match…check out the next card I used this same stencil on:

Card 3: Spring Bunny

I used THIS new stencil together with the Easter Words stencil to make the sweetest baby card. I love a blue bunny! I used the new DIES here to cut out the “Welcome, Sweet Baby” sentiment.

The gingham paper is from THIS paper pack.

Card 4: Bunny Eggs Stencil

I loved this stencil: it’s a three-piece set and you can change up your colors! I made this one with lots of Eastery colors of ink and I LOVE how it turned out. There is also a bit of THIS new paper peeking out around the edges that I am OBSESSED with!

The Happy Easter sentiment is from THIS set.

Card 5: Peeps!

This Eggstra Sweet Peeps stamp set allows you to mix and match sizes of peeps, accessories, and eyes! Here I added a bow to the yellow peep and some glasses to the blue peep!

The background is made with THIS new background set in an ombre of pinks. I added some glitter to the background in various spots.

I hope you enjoyed these bunny projects today! I really enjoyed making them. I love making Spring cards, and Easter cards (and any cards, really!) Lol.
