It’s Your Day!

By KariV on March 10, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello, I’m back with a new card and video to share: It’s Your Day! I’m using the cutest alien stamp set from Heffy Doodle!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I don’t think you can see it in the photos, but the sentiment is SHINY and it’s with a little embossing trick I share in the video.

Aren’t these little alien critters so cute? I used two different stencils on this card, to re-emphasize the weird. Lol.

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 enjoy this project today! Thanks for stopping by.

My favorite Peace & Love Rose

By KariV on March 8, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have my favorite Peace & Love rose to share…that I’ve recreated on a card! I also have a video sharing the entire process. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I think the Love & Peace Rose is my absolute favorite, with it’s gorgeous yellow and pink blooms. I also share a Cherry Parfait rose in the video, which is a white rose with a red/dark pink edge.

In order to fit as many of the blooms on the card as I could, I elected to make a slimline card. I used some Oxide Sprays in the background, with some darker inking along the edges to really make these roses POP!

For the sentiment, I hot foiled and die cut out that HI, which is probably my very favorite hot foiled sentiment I own (this is a brand new product as well!) I offset a pink cardstock behind it to build it up a little.

I hope you enjoyed this rose project as much as I did! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

Crafting a Pansy

By KariV on February 23, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun video with some die-cutting techniques for Crafty a Pansy. I love pansies, my grandmother loved pansies, my Dad loved pansies…and these cards are dedicated to my memory of them!

I am also using some “leftover foil” to create the backgrounds of these cards. The shine and the shimmer from the foil and the Mica Spray really make them pop!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I hope you enjoyed these cards today! I’ll see you real soon with more to share!

Llots of Llove (Llama Valentine)

By KariV on February 11, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello, today I have a card with Llots of Llove: a Llama Valentine! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I just love the Coffee Cup Shaker Die…which I used on this card, but did not turn it into a shaker card. I have used this die many times in the past, and was excited to create with it again in a different way.

The sentiment is from the Perfect Blend stamp set, and that Llama is from the Llamazing Llamas stamp set. Such a cute llama!!

I blended Oxide inks on some kraft cardstock first, then I used the same stencil on some white cardstock for the coffee cup sleeve.

The little tag was perfect for the “llots of llove” stamp from the same Llama set. I hope you smile at a llama with his tea cup to go!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! See you soon with more cards to share.

Churro Love

By KariV on February 10, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a very special Churro Love card and video to share! It’s a quick video, so I hope you will check it out below or on YouTube:

This is a sweet little new stamp set called “Churrific” and it makes me hungry for churros! Lol. Sadly, I just found out that my Costco is no longer serving churros at the snack bar. So I guess all my churros will be in CARD FORM! (which is better for my diet anyway…ha ha).
