Halloween Color Combos

By KariV on October 9, 2021 in Uncategorized

Hello! Today I have a video sharing my favorite Halloween ink Color Combos. I have the most amazing Halloween Mandala stencil from Miss Ink Stamps and I will create 3 easy cards!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Take a look at the detail on this Halloween Mandala stencil! So beautiful. For this card I used some purple and black Distress Oxide inks.

I heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder (3 times) to create a metallic looking embellishment. Then just a few silver sequins finished off this card.

I watercolored the cat for this card (using a blue undertone). Watch the video to see the watercoloring tips!

I used 2 sentiments stacked together to finish this card.

The large “Spooky” sentiment is perfect to fill up a card front. Just add a few ghosts with foam tape to complete this one!

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!

Hello! Just popping by to share a Halloween card that I love! These little ghosts are new from Miss Ink Stamps and they are the cutest trick or treaters.

I created a video to show you how to easily put a card like this together, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I just adore these products I’m sharing today. If you’ve been following me, you might notice this stencil is a favorite…I used it before on THIS Alice in Wonderland Card.

Feline Spooky!

By KariV on September 19, 2021 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello, I’m back with another Halloween card this time with new supplies from Miss Ink Stamps. This stamp set is called Feline Spooky, and I combined it with the new Halloween Sentiments stamp set.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I also used the “Square Dance” stencil to add a little interest in the background. I think this stencil looks a little like Gauze…so perfect for a Halloween card!

This is a fun one to color! In my video I share a way to add texture to your copic coloring.

The copic colors I used are:
Oranges: YR18, YR16, YR15, Y35
Black/Grey: N1, N3, N5, N7
Purple: BV17, BV13, BV11
Green: YG25, YG23, YG21

Hope you enjoyed this sneak peek! Thanks for stopping by.

Heart Clouds: Stencil technique

By KariV on September 11, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have another stencil technique for you, using one of my favorite stencils: The Heart Cloud stencil from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I absolutely adore the heart clouds you can make with this stencil. Here I added it to the center of the cards, but you can certainly add more hearts! To make that rainbow in the center, I added a stencil ON TOP of this stencil. It’s a fun technique.

For the hearts, I used the same rainbow stencil and some sticky embossing powder. I heat set it just until the embossing powder went clear. Then I sprinkled the Dazzle Dust glitter over the top and heat set it again to “lock it in.”

Watch the video for a full description of how to do this.

My second card features the Heart Cloud with another one of my favorite stencils: Square Dance.

I hope you enjoyed these cards today!

Coloring with Reinkers

By KariV on August 28, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun technique with a new set from Miss Ink Stamps. I love coloring (and painting) with reinkers, and today I have a video to show you just how fun and easy it is!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:https://youtu.be/aNM8h2KVe8A

The video really shows you all the details…but today I made two cards using different colorways. The first set of reinkers is the neon line of colors from Maker Forte (and a new favorite of mine…both the INKS and the REINKERS)!

I even colored the flowers with the reinkers using one simple tool and some felt. If you swipe over the images with your rainbow of reinkers, you can get some great colored images with no effort!

For my second card, I used some Spa colors from the Catherine Pooler line of inks/reinkers. These are much calmer colors (desaturated) and created a lovely more subdued rainbow.
