Very Very Complimentary

By KariV on September 17, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m popping in with some ideas on making a card filled with compliments! I’d love to get a card like these…and I hope you like them, too.

I’m using a stamp set from Scrapbook.com that I just love called “You Are”…it has so many complimentary words you can choose from. Today I have a video showing you the process, watch it below or on YouTube:

I love the idea of incorporating lines of compliments…so here I have a rainbow look and two sentiment strip looks (one using patterned paper for some extra pizzazz).

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!

You really are the best! Thanks for stopping by.

Sweeter than Pumpkin Spice

By KariV on September 14, 2019 in Gift Ideas, Paper Crafting, Thanksgiving

Hi there! It’s getting to be that time of year when it’s time for warm drinks and sweater weather! Ok, ok…maybe not here in Arizona, but it IS cooling off a little and that makes me want to make fall projects!

Today I have a fall gift card holder that’s sure to make you smile (I hope)!

Pumpkin spice! Confession time…I’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte (I don’t drink coffee), but I DO love pumpkin season! These fall papers make this project come together so fast!

This stamp set is a Fall Sampler from Scrapbook.com and it is SO versatile. I will have more projects coming up soon using this same set!

I created a short video to show you the process and tips you can take to TAKE THESE UP A NOTCH and make them super sweet. Watch the video below or on YouTube:

These sentiments really make me smile and I hope they make you smile, too. I turned one of these gift card holders into a card, but you can STILL slide off the stamped cozy and open the gc holder to add a note, a gift card, or some money!

I really enjoyed making these, and I have to admit that this coffee gift card holder die is one of my favorites! It’s great for fall, winter and special occasions. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Are you excited for pumpkin season?

How Rare and Beautiful You Are

By KariV on September 10, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m sharing a quick FALL card on my blog and YouTube channel. It feels like fall could be just around the corner for us here in Arizona…the days are cooler (less than 100 degrees!), and clouds are covering the sky today! I love fall.

We don’t get the changing leaves and fall colors here where I live, so I have to re-create that magical look on a card. Fall cards might be some of my favorites!

I have a quick video (less than 5 minutes….what?!) to show you the process for this card with fall colors! Watch it below or on YouTube:

How does the time fly by so fast? It’s September and already we are looking to the holidays coming up. But for now, let’s focus on FALL. I first inked up the background with stencil brushes and these new-to-me FALL ink pads from Scrapbook.com. I love these ink pads….they are hybrid inks so they are great for stamping, inking, watercoloring! Today they worked a charm for blending those fall leaves very quickly.

I die cut the inked panel using the Leaves cover die, then added that to three more die cut layers to create a sturdy piece. Then I layered those leaves on top of gold glitter paper. Fall always makes me think of gold, glitter, magic. 🙂 I added the sentiment strip and a few extra leaves to finish the card.

I’ve compiled a list of the products I’ve used, using affiliate links when possible. I’m often asked about the products, so this will make it easy. When you purchase using these links, I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects. I’m so grateful!
