You Won’t Believe all the Options on this Layering Stencil!

By KariV on August 27, 2025 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! I have some fun cards & a video to share. You won’t believe all the options on this Layering Stencil! It’s a fun one for Halloween (or Christmas!) Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I absolutely love layering stencils, but when they come with this many different images & sentiments to choose from…WOW! It’s so easy to make lots of different cards with just one stencil set.

Watch the video to see all the different options you have, along with a couple cards. I love creating with this stencil and if you like to make Halloween cards, this stencil might just be for you!

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! Everyday is Halloween right now… (Wink). See you soon with another card to share!

Llama Love and Socks

By KariV on July 23, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some Llama Love and Socks (with a mysterious magical creature) on a card to share. I have to admit, this one was fun to put together!

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

This card was so fun…using a Layering Sock stencil in the background really emphasized the sock fetish that could be going on here. This stamp set is a new favorite….and this little freshly-sheared fellow might be showing a little bit of embarrassment! Lol.

Just look at some of the details that come with this stamp set: the razor/trimmer, the basket of wool! Those socks came with the Laundry Love stamp set (where this hidden character is also from)…and it just occurred to me that I used the Llama Love AND Laundry Love stamp set on the same card. They work perfectly together!

I hope you’ll watch the video to see how this all comes together!

I hope you enjoyed this woolen sock adventure with me today! See you soon with more cards,

Kari

When is a pond, a cake?

By KariV on July 12, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a surprising birthday card for you to answer the question: when is a pond a cake?!

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I love the Oh Capy Day stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps! There is a pond stamp in there that worked perfectly as a make-shift CAKE for this card! Its a great way to stretch your stamps.

I hope you enjoyed this video and card project today! Thanks for stopping by,

Fortune Teller (of cardmaking!)

By KariV on July 9, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am sharing a card with the Fortune Teller of Cardmaking and here’s what she predicts: “I see stamps in your future.” Well, I’d say she’s pretty accurate! Lol. I loved making this card, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I am recently obsessed with making mystical, magical backgrounds with Distress Oxide inks and today that’s exactly how I started this card. Then of course, I added gold stars and Opal foil using stencils! The Window to the World arch stencil is so awesome because it comes with 2 layers and 2 masks…that means there are lots of techniques you can achieve!

I used two stencils to get that opal foil look in the center of the arch. I hope you will watch the video to see how I created this. It’s a very fun technique…with beautiful results.
