First Rule of 2021

By KariV on December 26, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m back with a Wonderland card where the Queen of Hearts has given her first RULE! (Lol) Apparently this rule applies to us and also to those in Wonderland.

I chose some really bright colors for this palette! But I do love a bright colored card sometimes. Check out the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love how she’s pointing at Alice to make this statement! I colored up those mushrooms from the Pumpkin Spice Gnomes set and mirror imaged one of the large mushrooms. I wanted them to sort of “frame” the sentiment.

And see that keyhole in the background?! That’s from the “Knock Knock” stencil. This set is so cool because they include the negative pieces with the stencils so you can do a lot of neat techniques!

I added quite of bit of extra bling and detail to this card with a glitter pen, Nuvo drops, and embellishments. I don’t think you can ever have too much “extra.” Lol…at least on a card!

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 fun project today! Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget about the RULE for 2021!!

Who Wants a Hippopotamus for Christmas?

By KariV on December 12, 2020 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am turning some regular hippos into Christmas hippos and making TWO cards! These cute hippos are from Miss Ink Stamps, and I’ll bet you can guess the song that inspired me to make these cards.

I have a video on the process and I’m sharing some more tips on stretching stencils and stamps to create more with your supplies! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Aren’t these hippos cute! I’ll bet you would never guess that the red ribbon is really seaweed from that set. Lol. Another great trick to stretch your stamp sets!

I colored up so many of the hippos that I decided to make a slimline card, too!

That glitter is the beautiful Dazzle Dust from Miss Ink that changes colors in the light! This one is blue and it has a green shift to it. So pretty!

Well, I really hope I didn’t cause that song to run through your head (like it did for mine the entire time I was making this card). But really, if the hippos are as cute as these stamps, count me in for having one on my wish list!

Happy Holidays! I’ll be back soon with more cards.

Snowy Background

By KariV on November 28, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m taking a forest background stamp and turning it into a SNOWY background stamp. I love that this background stamp from Miss Ink Stamps is so versatile. The “river” could also become a “pathway” and you can color it for any season.

Today I”m making it winter, with snow all around. I have a video to show you how I did this, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I added lots of glitter to make it glisten in the sun! This was a delight to color. I hope you enjoyed!

How to Stretch a Stencil for a Slimline Card

By KariV on November 14, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun project and video for you…I’m sharing how to “stretch” a stencil to fit on a Slimline card. This is a fun and easy process and you can use almost any stencil you have.

I’m using Miss Ink Stamps & stencils to show you how; watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Aren’t these gnomes cute?!

For the background, I chose six Distress Inks to match my gnomes that I already colored with Copic Markers. The Inks I used are: Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Evergreen Bough, Speckled Egg, and Dusty Concord.

If you like making slimline cards, keep this technique in your back pocket! Look for stencils you already own that have a repeating background and give it a try.
