Make Your Own Gradient Colored Cardstock

By KariV on February 8, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am excited to share one of my favorite projects so far this year… I love these sentiments, flower die, and stencil; and when you put them all together they SING!

I love a good sentiment set, and this one from Scrapbook.com is so so good. I have used all the sentiments so far and love the encouragement. I have created a video sharing the process, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

This was the first card I made using the Mum stencil from Scrapbook.com and some of their beautiful inks! I love combining green and blue together and these colors really look great.

I didn’t have gradient cardstock in the colors I wanted, so this inky secret made my flower work!! Watch the video to see how to do this.

The sentiments in Feel Better Sentiments 2 are really great… all of them! It’s so refreshing to find a stamp set with sentiments that I love and will be happy to USE THEM ALL!

I loved this combination so much, that I made a second card using a different set of sentiments. I changed the orientation for this one to make the sentiment fit just right.

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 these cards today! Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Day

By KariV on August 17, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! It’s a Monday, and I had to make this card to remind me that there is something beautiful in every day.

I adore this stencil! It’s a new favorite! I first dry embossed the background so it was raised, and then I inked on the mums, with the darkest color in the middle.

I added a strip of the new, beautiful Concord & 9th cardstock and added the die cut sentiment. There, that really brightens up my day!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope your Monday was beautiful.

Hello! It IS Love week, with Valentine’s Day sneaking up on us soon. Today I am sharing a card I love with some new stamps I love!

These are the Bold Caps Outline stamps, and I offset the Bold Caps Solid stamps in reds and pinks on the top. It’s such a fun look!

Easy Ombre Valentines

By KariV on February 8, 2020 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Can you believe Valentines Day is less than a week away? Today I have some Valentines cards to share with some of my favorite techniques.

I have a video of the easiest Ombre tricks to share, watch it below or on YouTube:

Which card is your favorite?

For the Ombre card I used the pink hybrid inks in four colors. These are already in Ombre order to make things extra easy. I love that! Each ink gets progressively darker, and when you use a large stamp (like the XOXO stamp) with a MISTI stamping tool, you can produce the easiest Ombre Valentine card ever!!
