Hello! Today I have a new video up on the Crafty Meraki channel making Rainbow Roses! I love this Artisan Rose die and I couldn’t resist turning them into the most colorful roses.
These are absolutely beautiful and when you use my proven method I share in my video, they are easy and pretty quick to put together, too!
I used a simple hot foiled background and sentiment (with an extra black shadow) to help those rainbow roses really pop off the page! I love how it turned out.
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 project today! Let me know if you give this a try!
Hello again! I’m back already with another card using products from the Hedgehog Hollow March kit! These stamps got me thinking about people who inspire me, so I put together some of the sentiments for a very colorful and inspirational thank you card.
You inspire me
See how the first “inspire” is a light green, the second “inspire” is a light yellow, and the third “inspire” is a light orange? Well, I’m using clear embossing powder to trap the color below it to get that neat look!
For the process video and to see how this card took on a life of its own, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Hi there! Today I have a fun polka dot background created using the smallest stamp hidden amongst some gorgeous floral stamps! This stamp comes from the August 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit and I just knew it would make a great background.
Look at those rainbow inks!The card created with the background
I am using some of my favorite inks today to create this rainbow of polka dots (who doesn’t love a rainbow of polka dots)?! And this card is made even better with a “Hey, Gorgeous” sentiment.
I created a short video to show you how I created a background THREE different ways that are all equally as fun! Watch it below or on YouTube:
This background is easy to make and really quick, too. Just change the direction of your stamp each time to get some variation.
Black Polka Dots!
If you look closely at the stamp set in the photo above, you can just pick out the polka dot stamps I am talking about. I put a couple of them on one side of my acrylic block, and another one on the other side; then I alternated between the two sides when I stamped it out.
I think this black polka dot card is my favorite one! I also think it would make a great background for a dog card (why do I think that)?!
Thank you. You are amazing.
The last polka dotted card is made with the beautiful embossing powders that came in last month’s kit. I alternated between 3 of them to create an ombre look for the background.
Funny story…I colored these flowers in a rainbow order because I thought it would be fun to use them for the rainbow background (first card). But sometimes my cards take on a mind of their own! So these florals ended up on the heat embossed background. I added some chunky glitter to the centers of these flowers to mimic some shine from the embossing powders. So pretty.
I’m often asked about the supplies I use on the cards I make, so I compiled a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase using these links, I may receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you). These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects. Thank you very much for your support!
I hope you are inspired to create some polka dot backgrounds! (or even create backgrounds using the smallest stamps in your stamp sets).
