Double Oven Slimline Shaker Card

By KariV on October 22, 2023 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting, Thanksgiving

Hello! Today I have a Double Oven Slimline Shaker Card to share and Oh is it awesome! This new die from Whimsy Stamps is one of my new favorites…and I don’t think it’s hard to see why. Just take a look at the video and photos below!

I’ve share all the details and how-to in the video so it’s easy! I love the little oven mitt and potholder. I also used the NEW Baking die set to add in the pie and the turkey (how cute are they)?!?

I do think this slimline oven is the cutest as a shaker card, but you certainly don’t have to make it into a shaker. I added some peppermint embellishments to my shaker (they just remind me of the holidays)!

I just had to make a mint green shaker oven…inspired by my new mini fridge at my office! It’s so cute and retro!

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. I sure had a great time making it. I’d love to hear your favorite holiday baking recipes! Leave me a comment below or on the video and tell me…do you make pies?!

2 Slimline Cards with The Hedgehog Hollow

By KariV on November 30, 2021 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have 2 slimline cards to share using the Hedgehog Hollow November Kit. This kit has a lot of slimline options so I couldn’t just stop at 1 card!

Card 1

My first card is made using the slimline cardstock in the kit. I inked on a cable knit slimline stencil (all supplies linked below) using 2 colors of ink: Tartan Teal & Everglades.

Then I placed the “Let it Snow” stencil from the kit over the top of my inked panel. I smooshed some clear sticky ink through the stencil, removed the stencil, and sprinkled on some Rainbow Sparkler embossing powder. After I heat set it, the glitter sparkle really stands out!

I matted the entire panel on my favorite color of cardstock: Welsh Dragon! Then I adhered it all onto a slimline card base.

Card 2

For my second card, I wanted some touches of red! So I stamped the vertical sentiment “Hot Cocoa” and the cocoa cup just over the top of that with Telephone Box ink.

I cut down this panel and added it to some red cardstock, and then green glitter cardstock.

For the back panel, I used the snowflake only from the “Let it Snow” stencil and inked on some Blue Raspberry ink. Then I stamped a small snowflake stamp from the kit in some Blue Moon ink.

I added that to some British Racing Green cardstock and put everything together!

Some light green gems finished it all off.

But I didn’t stop there! I used the corner Peppermint Sticks stencil on a slimline envelope using Telephone Box ink.

I will write the recipient’s name and address just below and to the right of the stenciled design.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

Spring Birdhouses

By KariV on March 30, 2021 in Holidays, Mother's Day, Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m so happy to share these Spring Birdhouses with you today. These can be made into slimline cards OR Pop-up cards and I’m going to show you how easy they are to make! Of course, once I started making them I just had to make a rainbow of birdhouses. (That’s the logical thing to do, right?!)

I have a video showing how to put these together and how to make both the card AND Pop-up card. I love them both…and you can stand them up to make a Spring decor piece, too! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For most of these birdhouses, I used the Woodgrain die cut…but sometimes I only EMBOSSED that woodgrain into the paper. It really creates a great look and it’s a bit of a variation from the die cut itself.

See that woodgrain embossed on this purple card? It is my new favorite background! I added some Layered Daisies dies on this one and the You Are Beautiful medallion, which is an incentive die when you purchase a qualifying amount at the Scrappy Tails shop.

The Mother’s Day sentiment dies are also among my favorites and I used them on these cards:

Left to right: embossed woodgrain background, White woodgrain die on cream cardstock, kraft woodgrain die on cream cardstock.

I love all the variety you can get with these Birdhouses and the Woodgrain background. Imagine all the colors you could die cut these from, OR emboss multiple colors of cardstock! I just couldn’t stop with these birdhouses!

The hummingbirds are from the Mama Birds Stamp set, and the other colorful birds are from the Spring Birds stamp set. I’ve listed and linked them all below if you want to check them out.

All the flowers used in all these cards are from the Layered Daisies dies. I love these because there are such a variety of flowers. You get some front facing flowers like the ones on the pink card, and some reaching up to the sun like the ones on the orange card! So many to choose from.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I sure loved making them. Check out the video for more details on how to put these together and make them stand up! Thanks for stopping by.

Spectacular Stamp & Stencil Bundles

By KariV on January 10, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’ve got some spectacular stamp & stencil bundles to share…I am making two cards with these fantastic products from Maker Forte. This is the first time I’ve seen stencils that match a stamp; and it gives you so many options for creativity!

Today I have two cards, with a video on the new release and card process! Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Card 1:

For this first card I used the “Deer to Me” stamp and stencil bundle. This set has sold out multiple times, but I see that it’s now back in stock! I stamped the stamp with dark black ink and then added the matching stencil over the top. I ink blended with three colors of Distress ink. THEN, I used another geometric stencil over the top and ink blended again.

What a spectacular result! Does it remind you of Northern Lights? Image trying this with different colors of ink, too! I popped up a sentiment with foam tape to finish off this slimline card.

Card 2:

For the second card, I used the Safari stamp and stencil bundle. This set comes with two stencils, and I added both of them to ink up the sun. Then I removed the second stencil and ink blended the background with Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, and Squeezed Lemonade.
