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.

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!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Rainbow Clover Cards (and ink comparison)

By KariV on March 17, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, St. Patrick's Day

Hello! Today I have three Rainbow Clover cards to share! It’s appropriate for this St. Patrick’s Day, right? I LOVE these sets today from Colorado Craft Company.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I made three different cards with three different ink companies: PinkFresh Studios, Catherine Pooler and Maker Forte. I chose some nice, light colors to create the rainbows.

Card 1: Pinkfresh Studio Inks

I made all these cards at the same time, stamping the first arc of the rainbow on three different panels (using a different ink company on each panel). Here is the Pinkfresh Studio Ink rainbow:

2. Catherine Pooler Inks

3. Maker Forte Inks

Which one is YOUR favorite?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Thanks for stopping by!

Hoppy Pond Shaker Card

By KariV on March 12, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m back to share a very “Hoppy” card using some NEW products from Heffy Doodle! This is a Hoppy Pond Shaker card and it was so, so fun to put together. I am just so happy at how they thought through all the details to make it easy for the creator.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love the Build a Pond dies: there are so many details like vines, grasses, cattails, lily pads and flowers you can add to your scene. There are also two sizes of ponds you can choose from! Here I used the smaller pond die, and it has a nice stitched detail around the edge.

The frogs are from the Be Hoppy stamp set and I just adore them! They are happy, hoppy frogs!

Watch the video to see how easy this card was to put together. I used the new Funhouse Diagonal Stripes stencil to add some interest and design to the panel background. This stencil can also be added in the opposite way to create a nice plaid! Love that.

Did you enjoy this project today! Let me know in a comment below or on the YouTube video comments! Thank you for stopping by.

Sending a Little Luck

By KariV on March 11, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, St. Patrick's Day

Hello! Today I’m sending you a little luck with this green rainbow card! I love making St. Patricks Day cards with green and a touch of gold. Today I’m using the Rainbow Builder Stencil from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love the look of green with gold! Here I used some Mirror Cardstock to cut out the word “Luck.”

I used the Rainbow Builder stencil for this, and instead of adding the included heart, I changed it for a clover from the Pick A Card stencil!

For the second card, I used some Lunar Paste for the touch of gold.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you feel blessed!
Thank you for stopping by.

Cherry Blossoms in Bloom!

By KariV on February 25, 2023 in Easter, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! It’s Kari with a new video to share. Today I’m creating a spring card using the Magnolia Sympathy stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps. These flowers make perfect cherry blossoms.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love this set for spring…you really can have a lot of fun building up any bouquet look. Here I stamped the branches and extra flowers and leaves to create my bundle.
