Mini Valentine Shaker Notes

By KariV on February 13, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! It’s an exciting day for me to share some Mini Valentine Shaker Notes…these are little note card sized shakers that are oh-so-sweet. I hope you enjoy!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

These note cards measure 3.5″ x 4.25″ so they are a nice little size to fit into a lunch bag or a briefcase! (Wink*) I love how easy they are to build up with the polaroid die from Whimsy Stamps. I will show you in the video how to make the “walls” to keep the shaker bits inside the shaker, and how to add the acetate topper.

I used a variety of stamps and dies to decorate the fronts of each card, all images that I LOVE!

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!

This Polaroid Die fits a slimline card, and for the mini cards I cut it apart to build up the shakers. It is also a cute design to make a slimline card, so I have included a sample of that here:

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day (aka Hugs Day!) filled with love. See you soon with more cards!

Try this Masking Stencil Idea

By KariV on January 27, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a new Masking Stencil idea for you to try! I am creating a Valentine card with adorable stamps and stencils from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I started out with a stencil that had much white space in between the stencil pattern. Then I used a MASKING stencil in a new way: to mask off the first stencil to be able to add ink to the white space! I hope you will watch the video to see what I mean.

I love this Snail image from the Snail Mail stamp set. Super cute! Today I colored it up in shades of pink and red for my Valentine card.

The love you sentiment features my FAVORITE alphabet die set! I used the placement stencil to line up the sentiment on my card.

I hope you enjoyed! See you soon with more cards and more techniques to share!

Sweet Spa Valentine with Vellum

By KariV on February 11, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a Sweet Spa Valentine with Vellum featuring some stencils and stamps from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

How cute is that furry doggie?! I love the colors pink and grey together so I went with that color scheme for this card.

This card was so fun to make! I started out by stenciling on those large paw prints with some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. Then I die cut a heart from some light pink cardstock. I stenciled on the heart paw prints from the Pawstome Stencil using Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.

I cut a vellum heart just larger than the pink heart. This will diffuse the background and draw the eye to the center of the card.

After coloring the image and stamping the sentiment, I put it all together using foam tape and liquid adhesive. For all the details, enjoy the short process video.
