Mixed Media Magnolia card

By KariV on May 11, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new card and video sharing a Mixed Media Magnolia card. This is a fun one to make, I hope you enjoy the video!

Watch it here or in HD on YouTube:

I start with some watercolor cardstock and heat emboss the magnolia images on it using white embossing powder. Next, I brought out an oldie that I haven’t used in a while: Color Bursts! These really are a burst of color, so be judicious in using them. A little goes a long way! (Watch the video to see how to dot this).

I added some extra color inside the magnolias so they were darker when they dried.

Once the entire panel was dry, I stenciled some Distress Oxides over the top. I used the center piece of the Magnolia Frame die to stamp my focal image…the heart mug! See, it pays to keep all your extra pieces. WINK*

I used vellum for the sentiment today and that finished it all off! I hope you had as much fun as I did with this 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!

Hope you enjoyed this one! Do you create many mixed media cards? See you soon with more cards to share.

Foiling with White Foil

By KariV on January 13, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a set of cards and a video Foiling with White Foil. This is a fun technique and I’m using the cutest penguins from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For this first card I used DecoFoil Gel Duo through the Frosty Flakes stencil from Miss Ink Stamps. I allowed it to completely dry before foiling it with WHITE foil. Then I inked on some color….the foil resists the ink!

The next card I used some rainbow foil, and since I had a beautiful negative piece of rainbow foil that I was able to use on some toner paper. Then I used some white foil with the Double Foil Technique to make the background white again. This is such a fun technique and so easy…Watch the video to see all the details!

I couldn’t resist making those penguins dance on a table! Lol.

I hope you enjoyed these cards today! See you soon with more cards!

You’re Freaking Meowt

By KariV on October 14, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card in my Halloween Card Series: You’re Freaking Meowt. This is a fun one and I use Crypt Paste (Grit Paste Crypt) on the background.

Watch the video here or in HD on YouTube:

See those stars in the background? That’s the crypt paste over black cardstock. I love the look (kinda like concrete) for a Halloween card.

This stamp set with all the cats is from “Feline Spooky” from Miss Ink Stamps and it has recently been restocked!

The alphabet is from the brand new Punny Farms Frame Die. It’s a great sans-serif font and works well for this card!

I hope you enjoyed this card project today! Thanks for stopping by!

Alice & the Giant Moon

By KariV on September 9, 2023 in Halloween, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun card to share with Alice & the Giant Moon. I will share how to create a moon with very little supplies, and how to color Alice with the moonlight behind her. This is not necessarily a Halloween card, but the techniques could be used for any Halloween images you have!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This kind of coloring with the moon from the background is a really fun challenge. The moon will glow around the outside of the image, with a darker face. Notice the yellow glow on Alice below:

I used the new Rattan stencil from Miss Ink Stamps for the texture in the background. It really reminded me of a chair, so that is how I came to use the image of Alice sitting in a chair!

I love these extra little die cuts from the Oh Happy Day Frame die set…those dandelions and “weeds” look perfect for this sweet card. I love that Alice also brought the cupcakes! Cupcakes can fix about anything.

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I can’t wait to share more ALICE cards with you (soon)!

Easy Watercoloring

By KariV on August 12, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card with Easy Watercoloring. I love to watercolor, and I love it even more when it’s EASY. This technique is so fun to do and you can do this even if you aren’t a professional watercolorist!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I have some tips for easy watercoloring, today I am using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, so these tips will be for having great success using those watercolor markers.

Choose Bristol Smooth cardstock. This cardstock allows the Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to blend smoothly with a waterbrush!
Heat emboss your image. Here I stamped using black ink (Versafine Onyx Black) and then used some clear embossing powder over the top. This will keep the watercolor inside these embossed areas!
Choose 2 or three colors to blend and use a waterbrush in the lightest color first to blend into the darker color(s). It makes a beautiful blend

I used a gorgeous stencil (Latte Lace) for the background, using only TWO ink colors. I blended the Tumbled Glass and Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks together and they created a beautiful green.

The frames are from the Oh Happy Day die set. There are so many great options in this set! That’s where the sentiment came from also.

Watch the video above to see how this all came together!

I really love a calm watercoloring session, especially when it’s THIS EASY! I hope you enjoyed this project today. I’ll be back with more cards to share soon!
