Heart Clouds: Stencil technique

By KariV on September 11, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have another stencil technique for you, using one of my favorite stencils: The Heart Cloud stencil from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I absolutely adore the heart clouds you can make with this stencil. Here I added it to the center of the cards, but you can certainly add more hearts! To make that rainbow in the center, I added a stencil ON TOP of this stencil. It’s a fun technique.

For the hearts, I used the same rainbow stencil and some sticky embossing powder. I heat set it just until the embossing powder went clear. Then I sprinkled the Dazzle Dust glitter over the top and heat set it again to “lock it in.”

Watch the video for a full description of how to do this.

My second card features the Heart Cloud with another one of my favorite stencils: Square Dance.

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.

I hope you enjoyed these cards today!

Six Impossible Things

By KariV on June 26, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card with Alice! You know I love this series of stamps from Miss Ink Stamps, and today I have a NEW stamp set called “Wonderland Wisdom” that I’m creating a card with.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love this saying and it makes me think: I should be thinking impossible things! (or at least dreaming!)

Can you see that extra shine I added with the small stars and glitter?! This is a fun card to create and I absolutely love that stencil in the background.

Hope you enjoyed! Don’t forget to think impossible things!

Stencil Ideas you Might Not Think of

By KariV on March 13, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a video sharing Five Stencil Ideas you Might Not Think of. I’m sharing some new stencils from Miss Ink Stamps that are so beautiful and delicate.

Normally, with stencils like this, I would recommend using Pixie Spray. But I found a new tool that I LOVE for holding stencils in place. I’m sharing all the details and the stencil techniques in my video below:

This Alice card might be my favorite paired with the Heirloom Blooms stencil. I used a selective stenciling technique and added a little sparkle!

For this card, I doubled up on the stencils: using Basket Case as the base and added some Heirloom Blooms. This is easy and fun…and I share it all in the video!

A picture doesn’t do this one justice! I used the new Kaleidoscope Stencil with sticky embossing powder and added glitter! The Dazzle Dust changes from a pink glitter to iridescent and it is beautiful.

I love this Lucky Duck! I used a technique I like to call “Patchwork Stenciling” with two different colors of ink.

And this one is a radiating inking with added gemstones. So pretty! This is the Latte Love stencil and it’s a favorite!

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by!

Leprechaun Gnome

By KariV on February 27, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hi again, it’s time for some lucky cards….and today I have a gnome that I’ve turned into a leprechaun! I love this little gnome and I think he works perfectly on this card.

I have a video showing you all the details, including how to make a rainbow with just three colors. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Isn’t he just so cute as a leprechaun?!

I used some of the Dazzle Dust from Miss Ink stamps and look how it changes colors! It’s awesome how it changes from blue to green! I also added plenty of other sparkle here, of course.
