Stencil Ideas you Might Not Think of

By KariV on March 13, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a video sharing Five Stencil Ideas you Might Not Think of. I’m sharing some new stencils from Miss Ink Stamps that are so beautiful and delicate.

Normally, with stencils like this, I would recommend using Pixie Spray. But I found a new tool that I LOVE for holding stencils in place. I’m sharing all the details and the stencil techniques in my video below:

This Alice card might be my favorite paired with the Heirloom Blooms stencil. I used a selective stenciling technique and added a little sparkle!

For this card, I doubled up on the stencils: using Basket Case as the base and added some Heirloom Blooms. This is easy and fun…and I share it all in the video!

A picture doesn’t do this one justice! I used the new Kaleidoscope Stencil with sticky embossing powder and added glitter! The Dazzle Dust changes from a pink glitter to iridescent and it is beautiful.

I love this Lucky Duck! I used a technique I like to call “Patchwork Stenciling” with two different colors of ink.

And this one is a radiating inking with added gemstones. So pretty! This is the Latte Love stencil and it’s a favorite!

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 enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by!

Five Cards with 1 Stamp Set: Stretch Your Stamps

By KariV on March 11, 2021 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, St. Patrick's Day

Hello! Today I am happy to share a fun stamp set that I just couldn’t stop creating with! This is the Shamrock Truck from Maker Forte, and I just love it. I knew that there was more ways to use this cute image…not just for St. Patrick’s Day!

I made five cards, and share lots of fun techniques in the video below, or watch in HD on YouTube:

I really hope you find that you love this truck as much as I do. Hear what my husband had to say after I made three cards…and why I was compelled to keep creating! (Lol) I must say, that he heard me when I was doing the voiceover for this video and it made me laugh. He is such a great support, but he does tell it like it is!

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by!

Fairy Cards with the New Kit

By KariV 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:

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

By KariV on February 14, 2021 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

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?

I hope you enjoyed visiting my Valentine Corner Cafe today! See you next time. Happy Hugs Day!
