Howdy! Fancy Boots

By on May 24, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m excited to share a cowboy boot card with you today…it’s a FANCY boots card! Let’s face it, if I were to own cowboy boots, they would probably be fancy. Lol.

For this card, I first inked on the background with the “Walk the Plank” stencil and some tan ink (Flat White). Then I created the word “Howdy” from the new Mini Farmhouse Font stamp set from Maker Forte. I love this set, and it has already sold out a few times! But if you want it, keep checking back because they are always restocking.

I stamped one of the floral boots on a separate piece of cardstock and I also stamped a mask of that boot from masking paper. Then, I covered that boot with the mask and stamped it again to look like it was kicked up a little.

Now it’s time to color! I used my favorite colors of Copic markers for this boot. Then I fussy cut out the whole image.

For the sub-sentiment, I stamped that onto cardstock and colored it with a tan Copic marker, leaving in some lines to look like wood. I popped up both the sub-sentiment and the boots with foam tape.

I used Welsh Dragon cardstock for the mat layer, to match the Howdy stamped sentiment.

If you don’t like to color: here’s another option stamping out the background in a bright color and then heat embossing the boot over the top!

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!

SUNSHINE-Sorry-I-was-moody-card-1-crooked-Kari-V
Two Bunnies and a Duck
By  on March 15, 2022  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have some cute Easter cards to share: Two Bunnies and a Duck! These are created with a set that is called “Sorry I was Moody” from Maker Forte, so they are not necessarily Easter images, but I think they make the perfect Easter cards!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













Card One: Stay Hoptimistic





I love the image of this bunny eating a piece of lettuce. I paired it with a floral stencil to make a happy Spring background.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I added a rainbow of gems to distract from the faint cross in the background…see the video for details on this card!





Card Two: Every Bunny Needs Some Bunny






		
		
			
			
		
	





For this card I actually stamped the bunny image with the Laurel Wreath twice. Once on this background, then stenciled on the basket weave stencil in a light pink ink. I cut out the bunny from the second image and popped it up with foam tape on top of the first image. It added some sweet dimension to this Spring card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Card Three: Waddle I do?






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love that little duck image. This time I used the image without the Laurel Wreath. Instead, I stenciled on the Layered Easter background, added some marbled paper, and popped up that duck.





The sentiment is so so cute! Waddle I do without you?

Spring Bunnies Cards
By  on March 3, 2022  in Easter, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

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. If you haven’t seen the entire new release, check it out HERE. I have listed all the supplies in the listing below, using affiliate links when possible.

Do You like to fussy cut?
By  on January 11, 2022  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello again! Today I have a video sharing two cards using fussy cutting and no fussy cutting techniques on each card. I’m using the new Sentimental Stems stamp set from Maker Forte. 





This has been a very popular set, and at the time of publishing this post…it has sold out! But don’t worry…it’s on it’s way to restock and you can also pre-order it.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













I love this set and when I shared my first card (below), I decided to make a video with a few alternate colors and techniques.
