Building a Scene with Stencil Fade

By KariV on April 10, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun video to share using the Stencil Fade technique to build a scene. I’m using Miss Ink Stamps for these cards, and they work so well together.

Take a look at the video by watching below or in HD on YouTube:

I really love this technique for fun backgrounds, and I started by inking up the background softly using an ergonomic blending brush. Then I built up the scene using the Meadow Scene builder set.

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!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Stenciling the Mad Hatter

By KariV on March 27, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m sharing a fun project with a new stencil paired with the Mad Hatter from Miss Ink Stamps. Have you ever tried stamping over a stenciled pattern? This is fun and offers some interesting looks to your stamp.

I have a video showing you how this is done successfully, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

This was a fun project to finally complete. This idea has been in my head for weeks! I love how the stencil design shines through on the tea pot and his clothes and face. This may not be the ideal technique for some stamps…but We’re All Mad Here and this crazy look works!

I finished off this card with black pearls, which I thought was kind of fitting. Here’s the conversation I had in my head about this: Johnny Depp played the Mad Hatter in Alice and Wonderland, and he also played Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Carribean. The pirate ship was called the Black Pearl…so these definitely belong on this card! Lol. I had lots of fun with this card. Hope you enjoyed!

Stencil Ideas you Might Not Think of

By KariV on March 13, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a video sharing Five Stencil Ideas you Might Not Think of. I’m sharing some new stencils from Miss Ink Stamps that are so beautiful and delicate.

Normally, with stencils like this, I would recommend using Pixie Spray. But I found a new tool that I LOVE for holding stencils in place. I’m sharing all the details and the stencil techniques in my video below:

This Alice card might be my favorite paired with the Heirloom Blooms stencil. I used a selective stenciling technique and added a little sparkle!

For this card, I doubled up on the stencils: using Basket Case as the base and added some Heirloom Blooms. This is easy and fun…and I share it all in the video!

A picture doesn’t do this one justice! I used the new Kaleidoscope Stencil with sticky embossing powder and added glitter! The Dazzle Dust changes from a pink glitter to iridescent and it is beautiful.

I love this Lucky Duck! I used a technique I like to call “Patchwork Stenciling” with two different colors of ink.

And this one is a radiating inking with added gemstones. So pretty! This is the Latte Love stencil and it’s a favorite!

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by!

Leprechaun Gnome

By KariV on February 27, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hi again, it’s time for some lucky cards….and today I have a gnome that I’ve turned into a leprechaun! I love this little gnome and I think he works perfectly on this card.

I have a video showing you all the details, including how to make a rainbow with just three colors. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Isn’t he just so cute as a leprechaun?!

I used some of the Dazzle Dust from Miss Ink stamps and look how it changes colors! It’s awesome how it changes from blue to green! I also added plenty of other sparkle here, of course.

I hope you enjoyed this fun card today! I’ll see you soon with more cards!

Valentine Corner Cafe

By KariV on February 14, 2021 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello, today I am creating a scene…. on a card! I had an idea to create a little Valentine Corner Cafe using dreamy magentas and greys. This would be a little Corner Cafe you would love to visit, and it’s especially cute just in time for Valentine’s Day!

I’m using fun techniques to get some 3D detail; like: heat embossing, foam tape, and 3D coloring. Watch all the details at the video below or in HD on YouTube:
