Cotton Candy and Coffee

Hello! Today I’m up on the Maker Forte blog sharing a classic combination: Cotton Candy and Coffee. What? That’s not a classic combination?! Well, I hope you enjoy these cards anyway! Be sure to visit the blog HERE for all the details!






		
		
			
			
		
	





This is a brand new Cotton Candy set and It’s so fun! It also has a stamp for “Candy Floss” and “Fairy Floss” if you call it that instead. 






		
		
			
			
		
	





I colored this up with copics and added a shadow beneath the large cotton candy treats!






		
		
			
			
		
	





These new sets are so dreamy, and if you like coffee, you might need them! There’s a lot of cute sentiments and “foam” you can stamp on top. Here’s another card made with the You Are Brew-tiful stamp set:






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I added some of my favorite colors to make this one pop. Hope you enjoyed!

SUNSHINE-Kari-V-flamingos-you-are-beautiful-with-stamp-set
Copic Coloring Flamingos
By  on August 9, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! You might already know that I love flamingos! I love stamps of flamingos, I love coloring flamingos and I love making flamingo cards. A couple months ago, I shared a Flamingo Silhouette stamp and how to layer stencils with it (see that video HERE).





Today, I have a NEW stamp that is perfect for COLORING! This “Flirty Flamingos” stamp set was just announced TODAY, so if you like it…head on over and get yourself a set before it sells out!





I am sharing my FAVORITE color combination for coloring flamingos in my latest video. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I LOVE this new stamp set (designed by Alex Syberia) and it’s a blast to color! I paired it with a leaf stencil from Maker Forte, and gold heat embossed the top portion of the sentiment to really stand out.






		
		
			
			
		
	





That flower crown on the flamingo on the right is so unique and easy to color as well. I finished it all off with an enamel heart. Did you notice how I colored the one on the right a bit darker shade of pink/coral? I wanted them to be a little bit different. (I’m guessing that one on the right has eaten more shrimp! Lol)

SUNSHINE-Kari-V-chase-your-dreams-shoe-close-up
High Heels & Purses!
By  on August 5, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! I’m back with another fun set from the Maker Forte new release. This is another favorite of mine, designed by Alex Syberia (and you know I’m a big fan of Alex Syberia!)





This set is called “Be In Vogue” and it has some beautiful images. I created two cards this time, with some bold colors and designs!





CARD 1






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used the beautiful (and foilable) zebra print paper from THIS paper pack. Then I stamped out the pair of shoes with THIS ink.





I stamped and gold heat embossed the supporting images: the purse, sunglasses, and perfume. Then I watercolored them using THIS ink.





The sentiment was gold heat embossed, too, to bring it all together.





CARD 2





For my second card, I chose a few of the smaller images to create a sort of patterned paper. I used a variety of ink colors for this one and a bunch of gem colors, too!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I really love the sentiment on this one! Those sunglasses in FOG ink are just awesome! I cut this down to mat on a hot pink cardstock.

SUNSHINE-Kari-V-gingerbread-houses
A Glittery Gingerbread Village
By  on July 20, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! I have a new video for you today with an alternative way to color up a Gingerbread House card! I think glitter screams Christmas, so it’s perfect for this card.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













These are biodegradable glitters from Maker Forte, so you can feel great using them! Unless you are not a glitter fan…LOL! Then, maybe you might stick to Stickles. 😉





I completely enjoyed making this card, and I can’t wait to try this gingerbread set next using some white embossing powder!
