Fairy Cards with the New Kit

By on March 8, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Kari here with a couple cards using the *NEW Hedgehog Hollow March 2021 Kit. This Kit is full of magical images and wonderful sentiments. Today I made the exact same card twice, changing up the color of cardstock only, and I got a dramatic difference!

I can’t believe just how different these cards turned out, when I used the EXACT same colors for ink blending, the EXACT same fairy stamp, and the EXACT same techniques on both cards. This is so fun.

Watch my video below for all the details, or watch in HD on YouTube:

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 kit is so much fun. I have so many ideas already! And I’ll be back sharing more inspiration from this kit soon.

Valentine Corner Cafe

Hello, today I am creating a scene…. on a card! I had an idea to create a little Valentine Corner Cafe using dreamy magentas and greys. This would be a little Corner Cafe you would love to visit, and it’s especially cute just in time for Valentine’s Day!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I’m using fun techniques to get some 3D detail; like: heat embossing, foam tape, and 3D coloring. Watch all the details at the video below or in HD on YouTube:













Isn’t this the cutest Corner Cafe? I’m imagining you can get coffee, crepes, hot cocoa, and smoothies there! What about cute little sandwiches, too?

Hello! Today I have a fun and easy box card tutorial for you. I recently found this new die and I am now in love. So today, I’m sharing how to put together a box card that will fold flat in an A7 envelope! This is a tea party box card, and I’ve also made a coordinating regular card to go with it.

GOAT Valentine
By  on January 23, 2021  in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines   

	

	    

Hello, today I’m making a GOAT Valentine (greatest of all time!) using Miss Ink Stamps. This Punny Goat set really makes me smile, and the sentiment “You make my Heart Bleat” was too cute! So with a little ink blending, stenciling, coloring, and fussy cutting…we will get this cute card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Watch the video for all the details AND hear my funny story about a goat:

Bear Cards for Dad
By  on January 21, 2021  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello. Today I have a different kind of post and it’s all about creating Bear Cards for Dad. You might know that my Dad passed away the day after Christmas (December 26th). I have started a project to assist in healing to create 74 bear cards for him…one for each year he has been on Earth.





If you would like to help me get this done…I would love it! Just create a bear card and post a photo on Instagram using the hashtag: #bearcardsfordad
Tag me @kariavan so I can see and smile.





Here’s my projects for today, a bear card for Dad AND an art journal page:






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I have a video explaining it all, watch it here or in HD on YouTube. But warning, it is a little emotional!
