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’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! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

Heartbeat Stencil

By KariV on October 25, 2021 in Uncategorized

Hello! It’s Kari here with another card using products from the Hedgehog Hollow October kit. These stencils are amazing and make it so easy to make a fabulous card!

For this card I first inked up a card panel with the 4 Layer Stencil.

The nurses hat and 1/2 the pill in blue
The heart, other 1/2 pill and nurse hat insignia in red
The pills and asterisk in green
The Stethoscope and syringe in grey

I used mostly Distress inks and Maker Forte inks for these.

Once that was done, I put the heartbeat stencil over the top and inked it on with black ink. I love this heartbeat stencil….I think it would also make a great LOVE card with the sentiment “You make my heart skip a beat!”

To finish off this card, I used one of the simple sayings in the kit and popped it up with foam tape.

I added a black mat and DONE! This kit makes it so easy to create a quick, fantastic card! I hope you enjoyed this project.

Color Changing Vinyl on Cards

By KariV on September 24, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I wanted to share a card using Opal Color-changing vinyl! This vinyl came in the Hedgehog Hollow September kit and oh…it is BEAUTIFUL! I fell in love and so I decided to make a Love card with it.

This is a simple card because I wanted those flags to SHINE!! I had a great time coloring up these people because there is just so much detail.

For all the details and the Copic colors I used, please head over the Hedgehog Hollow blog HERE.

Spread Joy, Not Germs Hop

By KariV on April 17, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to be a part of the Spread Joy, Not Germs Hop. There are lots of prizes, so be sure to enter (see details below). I am using stamps from the Hedgehog Hollow April 2020 Kit and March 2020 Kit.

When I was creating this card, I was inspired by the events going on today. I created a dark gray city with bright, happy people. See, even with this big challenge, we can be happy and stick together. 🙂

I first stamped the people images with copic-friendly ink. Then I masked them off with masking paper before inking on the gray buildings using a stencil and Distress Oxide ink.

I colored the images in bright colors so they really stood out from the background. The large “always” sentiment is from the March 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit (lettered by Jessica Francisco). I white heat embossed it on black paper then fussy cut around the sentiment.

I stamped the “you” and “me” with black ink, then made a blue mat around them with the same blue Copic marker as on the sweater.

For the video tutorial on how this card came together, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Floral Heart with Gemstones

By KariV on February 20, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m back with a new card using the Hedgehog Hollow February 2020 Kit. I saw that floral heart stamp in the kit and I fell in LOVE!! So of course I had to create with that first AND add some beautiful gemstones. Yes!

This floral heart was designed by Sophia Caldwell, and you already know I’m a BIG FAN of hers! So I stamped it first with amalgam ink (perfect for coloring with Copic markers because it doesn’t smear).

Flowers: RV19, RV06, RV02
Leaves: YG05, G43
Small flowers & berries: BG13, BG11

I cut the banner and added the Special Friend Sentiment on using the original Misti. I used some acetate over the banner so I could bend that stamp to fit just right on that banner. The stamp will stick to the acetate so then you can pick it up with the Misti lid. Perfect.

I added that stamped banner with 1/4″ foam tape. Then I inked up around the card using 2 colors of Distress Ink.

I added the gemstones in a sort of diagonal line across the card front using my favorite new embellishment tool! (see the supplies listed below to check it out!)
