Hoppy Poppy in the Flower Fields

By KariV on April 15, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have such a happy card to share with you using one of my all-time favorite bunny stamps. I am pairing it with some giant flowers made of red rubber to create the giant Flower Fields card.

The flower stamps are unmounted red rubber, so in this video I show you a couple options for using these types of stamps. And I actually figure out a way to make it work with the Misti stamp platform. Watch it below or on YouTube:

I used Copic Markers to color up these images and I will have the colors listed below.

Greens: YG05, YG13, YG17
Yellows: Y00, Y08, Y17
Oranges: YR15, Y35
Purples: B63, BV04, BV01
Grays: C0, C1, C3
Pinks: (ears) R30
Pinks: (flower) RV19, RV17, RV55, RV02, RV52
Blues: B00, B000, B0000
Browns: E79, E57, E35

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 this card made you smile today. I know this bunny always makes me smile…and a bunny in a giant flower field is especially happy!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Crafty Thank You card

By KariV on March 26, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello again! I’m back already with another card using products from the Hedgehog Hollow March kit! These stamps got me thinking about people who inspire me, so I put together some of the sentiments for a very colorful and inspirational thank you card.

See how the first “inspire” is a light green, the second “inspire” is a light yellow, and the third “inspire” is a light orange? Well, I’m using clear embossing powder to trap the color below it to get that neat look!

For the process video and to see how this card took on a life of its own, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

It’s All About the Details

By KariV on March 23, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am excited to share a video about adding fun details to a card. I first colored up my image on bristol paper using Zigs, then I added a bunch of extra details. This detail work is fun and EASY, and it adds quite a bit of interest to an otherwise fairly simple card.

I love this butterfly image…and those sentiments are ALL really good, too. Perfect for a time like this!

See all that fun detail work?! I love it. Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I used four kinds of detail-adding elements: a white gel pen, a Copic multi-liner, Nuvo Jewel drops (translucent), and Zig marker. These are all great ways to add DOTS to your cards. Be sure to watch the video for the details.

Adding this kind of detail is something to try at home and see what you like! I can’t wait to see what you create.

Want to know a secret? That background was not going to be a stormy background. It was going to be a bright, watercolored background. But it morphed into this stormy background, with that angel butterfly staying calm amidst it all! We can all learn from this bright butterfly.
