Today I’m a part of a video hop celebrating my friends Erica & Maria reaching some YouTube goals! This is a rainbow video hop and today I made 1 rainbow, and 2 cards with it.
Head on over to the video on YouTube to comment to win prizes:
I hope you enjoy these tricks I’m sharing to make 1 rainbow and 2 cards! Today I made slimline cards, but you could certainly use this technique for an A2 size or mini slimline card.

I really enjoyed joining in on this hop! See you soon!
Hello! Today I have MORE easy summer cards to share using Maker Forte products. I love the Seaside Silhouettes and they pair perfectly with the A2 spotlight stencil.
These cards are so EASY and super fun to make. They are also very quick. I love the designs in the background…doesn’t the hammock card with bubbles look so dreamy? I wish I was hanging out in a hammock right now. Lol.

I love easy summer cards! Today I’m sharing a quick card and video using products from Maker Forte. This set is a large 6×8 set designed by Jess Francisco and I love it!
This stamp set is FILLED with fun summer images and I have so many fun ideas! This is my first card I made with the set, and it reminds me of a T-Shirt I had many many years ago.
I stamped the “sun” image with 4 colors of Distress Oxide inks, to get a gradient reminiscent of a sunset. Then I stamped the large palm trees in a black ink and heat embossed over it with clear embossing powder.
Next, I stamped the sentiment “You are my sunshine” with a teal ink. I finished it all off with some gems.
The cardstock is English Mustard cardstock from Maker Forte (and it’s a favorite of mine)!

I’ll be back real soon with more easy Summer Cards!
Hello! Today I am sharing a brand new Mermaid Kit just in time for summer! This is the first time I have ever tried out one of these kits from Not 2 Shabby Shop, and I have to say that I’m so happy with it. I have a reveal video of everything in the kit and FIVE cards to share today!
I sat down with this kit and made FIVE cards right away. I had way too much fun and just couldn’t stop! This first card is using the ephemera in the kit (no coloring involved!) and some of the patterned paper from the kit. There are both slimline papers and 6×6 papers. I also added a bunch of the sequins that are included, for a very easy card!
This second card, I stamped the image this time and colored it with my copics. I love that you have the option for stamping or using ephemera! This patterned paper was some of my favorite.
The Narwhal in the stamp set is so cute, and it made me smile every time! I just had to use that on this card. I created some backgrounds with some new ink colors from Catherine Pooler and they have such fun movement to them.
Probably my favorite sentiment is this one: “Magic is all around, you just have to believe.” It’s a really fun design, and I used this sentiment stamp along with the beta fish for some magic on this card. Can you see the glitter I added to his tail?
The seahorses were also a favorite and how great is it that they have the mirror image so you can face them towards each other?! I love that. I made just a simple card with these guys, and added a “Hugs and Fishes” sentiment strip to finish it off.

I hope you enjoyed this look at the Mermaid Kit! I hear these kits sell out fast, so if you are interested, go take a look right away. I still have so many ideas and cards to make with this kit…and I think this could keep me busy all summer. Lol. Happy summer!
Hello! Today I have a quick card using the Hedgehog Hollow Musical Kit from May. I show you in my video how to use the ephemera packs for foiling and not wasting a bit of that foil!
I have to admit, I did NOT understand how this ephemera worked at first. One of the packages of ephemera is just all black…and how in the world does that make sense?! Well, I finally got it! And it’s so so cool.
See how the piano is black, but has periwinkle foil all around the outside?! Well, that’s the secret! It uses the “leftover” foil so you have no waste. It’s brilliant! Be sure to watch the video to see the magic.
To make this card, I first stamped the background stamp twice to fill an A2 panel. Then I foiled the ephemera (both parts of it).
Next, I white heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and matted it with Lavender cardstock. I added a rainbow frame, glued down the sentiment and popped up the ephemera with foam tape.
How beautiful is that rainbow foiled musical notes piece?!? I love it. This is a simple card made SO easy and SO glamorous with that foilable ephemera.

I hope you enjoyed this as much a I did! Just a note on this May Kit: since it’s after the 15th of the month, if you sign up for a subscription, you will get the next month’s kit. If you are interested in THIS kit, keep checking back at the Hedgehog Hollow shop to see if they will offer any extras as a “one-off” box.
