Valentine Postage Stamp designs

By KariV on February 14, 2026 in Holidays, Valentines

Hello! Today I’m sharing some Valentine Postage Stamp designs and of course they are perfect to share on this day…Valentine’s Day! Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I’ve been designing my own postage stamps for a while now and I might be obsessed! Ha, ha! I try new techniques and themes each time, but one thing they all have in common? They all start with the Postage Seal and Shaker Collection from Miss Ink Stamps!

Then I brought in some of my favorites from the Alice Collection, and some great stencils: the Filigree Card Suits stencil, the Handdrawn hearts stencil, and Hug in a Mug Layering Stencil. All these products brought together help with the creativity in bringing these designs to life!

I hope you will watch the video to see the process.

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 this Valentine Edition of Postage Stamps today! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Your Next Chapter with Alice

By KariV on January 10, 2026 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m excited to share this card that’s a Mini Shaker card….and Alice is looking at your next chapter. Spoiler alert: It’s going to be great!

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I really wanted a mini shaker card that looked like a mini book. So today I’m sharing how to make a mini book with no special dies! Then I add a keyhole glimpse into the “next chapter” using the Nested Keyhole dies from Miss Ink Stamps.

The Pick A Card stencil looks great stenciled with Oxide ink on black cardstock. It adds a subtle design to the front of the card panel! I also added some mini glitter heart keys and card suits in a dark red cardstock.

For the spine, I gold heat embossed the sentiment: “Your next chapter is going to be great!”

I hope you enjoyed this project today. Happy New Year!

Personalized Mini Notebooks (for New Years!)

By KariV on December 31, 2025 in Christmas, Gift Ideas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some personalized Mini Notebooks for New Years goals, positive affirmations, or just writing down some dreams. These are great little gift sets, especially for office supply lovers (like me)!

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

These are super fun to make and to personalize. I made SIX sets of these little notebooks for my family and I used some images that reminded me of them. So have fun and use stamps & stencils that will inspire or represent your recipients!

I run through most of the other colors of notebooks and their designs in the video…so go check it out! I hope you enjoyed this fun project. Thank you so much for everything this year, I love the support. I’ll be back next year with more to share. Happy New Year!

Gilding Flakes on Designer Postage Stamps

By KariV on November 22, 2025 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am so happy to share a new video creating Designer Christmas Postage Stamps with Gilding Flakes accents!

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I love creating postage stamps, and these Christmas inspired stamps hold extra glitter and shine! Today I used silver Gilding Flakes, but you could use gold or any color you want! Take a close look at the inside frame of the postage stamp….that’s where I added the silver gilding flakes. So beautiful.

I used a few stencils and the Postage Seal and Shaker Collection for each of these postage stamps. I also brought in some smaller dies: like the Lots of Letters mini dies, and the SWAK postage heart dies. For the full tutorial, watch the video above.

I think you can see how much I just LOVE putting these together. I can’t wait to create more!

I hope you enjoyed these designer Christmas postage stamps today! Thanks for stopping by!

Alice Shaker

By KariV on August 30, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have an Alice Shaker card and video. This is a fun one! I used the Nested Keyholes set to start off the entire card…watch the video below or on YouTube:

I love the postage frame from the Miss Ink Stamps Postage, Seal and Shaker Collection. While there IS a full shaker panel to use in the set, I wanted to turn the postage frame portion into a shaker! So I cut that out, ink blended the inner panel (which will act as the background for the shaker), and put it all together with some acetate and foam tape. Watch the video for the full tutorial.
