Step up Your Stenciling!

By KariV on December 20, 2023 in Christmas, Holidays

Hello! Today I have a fun video sharing a new (to me) way to Step Up Your Stenciling! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

The large stencil I’m using today is from The Ton and it will cover an 8 1/2 x 11″ cardstock!! Then you can cut them down to make 4 cards.

But the amazing NEW product is this die set that coordinates! You can cut each panel and that allows you to create a shaker card, or put some sparkly/metallic paper behind the panel. AMAZING!!

I just love this set…watch the video to see how it works!

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 projects today! Have a very Happy Holiday Season!

Just Boo-Cause

By KariV on October 7, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! I have a quick Halloween card with some of the cutest ghosts around! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love a diamond background, and this is a new stencil from Miss Ink Stamps that creates a larger diamond and a smaller diamond…it also has a stencil layer that gives you the option to add hearts. So cool!

This stamp set has an IRON BURN MARK stamp in it, and I couldn’t resist adding it to that little ghost on the left. Isn’t that so cute?!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I am loving these quick Halloween cards.

Spring Cards with a Stencil Technique

By KariV on March 25, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some Spring Cards to share with a fun stencil technique.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This technique works best when you have a stencil with a lot of larger areas, and a second stencil with a smaller design. For both cards I used the SAME stamp set…Punny Farm Goats from Miss Ink Stamps.

I love the chicken and chicks in this stamp set, AND it also has the cutest goats to choose from! I hope you will watch the video to see how to do this technique.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Foiled Background

By KariV on August 11, 2022 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

I love a good foiled background! Today I have a tone-on-tone card to share with you using a favorite stamp set from the last Maker Forte Release.

[Note: I’m sharing all the details HERE at the Maker Forte blog if you want more detailed information on creating this card.]

Those lantern images come from the Christmas at the Cabin stamp set…this set has so many cute images to put together! I paired it with the Christmas naturally stencil to create that foiled background. (LOVE this stencil!)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Tropical Birds

By KariV on April 10, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun card and video to share…this time it’s Tropical! I have a brand new stencil from Miss Ink Stamps to share that I’ve paired with Pretty Birds for a bright and happy card.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love these TOUCANS!

This new stencil is so pretty…and I love using two colors of ink on this stencil, so they blend together ever so slightly. It’s a perfect tropical background for these tropical birds!
