Sugar Skull 2 Ways

By on September 1, 2020 in Halloween, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to be sharing the BRAND NEW September Hedgehog Hollow Kit in my video, and share 2 cards made with the very cool Sugar Skull Die included.

This kit is sure to sell out fast, so go check it out! I have all the links and supplies listed below.

This die is so interesting and intricate, with plenty of designs to color up or not! I have a short video below showing all the details of how these came together, watch it here or in HD on YouTube:

I’ll tell you, I was so excited to use these products right away! I got right into it, starting with this die set (it’s a 2 part die).

CARD 1:

I used some gel pens on this first card. They look great on dark cardstock! I left all the pieces in the die, which was easier than piecing them all back in. I added some die cut roses in yellow and some bright green leaves.

The background is inked in Distress Oxides in 2 colors…doesn’t that really make it all pop!?

CARD 2:

For this one I die cut in black and used some metallic paint for the teeth. Originally, I left the teeth IN (black cardstock) and then I regretted that choice. So the metallic paint was the answer! Since this was regular cardstock, I used a very small amount of water on this and it worked just fine.

Level Up the Layering Honeycomb Stamp

By on August 13, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m back with FIVE Ways to Uplevel the Honeycomb Layering Stamp from The Hedgehog Hollow August Kit. This kit is so full of sweetness: honey and Bees, Flowers and sentiments….I love it all!

I have this short video showing you the five ways, watch it below or on YouTube:

If you can’t watch the video, I’ll also share these tips quickly here.

  1. Choose unexpected colors to stamp with.
  2. Stamp Layer 1 with one color, and Layer 2 with a completely different color
  3. Try embossing Layer 2 for a different look
  4. Offset Stamping – Layer 2 doesn’t have to completely match up
  5. Stamp sentiments directly on card panel OR use sentiment strips popped up with foam tape
blue with black & gold heat embossed Layer 2 | blue with green Layer 2
Grapefruit with yellow stamped Layer 2 | Grapefruit ink with silver embossed Layer 2
Yellow with gold heat embossed Layer 2 | Yellow with offset Stardust ink Layer 2

Five Avocado Cards?! Holy Guacamole…

By on August 7, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m back with tips on how to use one SMALL stamp from your set and turn them into five cards! I’m using the cutest little stamp from the July Hedgehog Hollow Kit today: I just couldn’t stop with this July Kit until I made all my little avocado cards!

I have a video with all the ways and some tips for making them quickly, watch it below or on YouTube:

I hope you will take a moment to watch the video to see my five ideas! For now, I will leave you with pictures of all these cutie cards and a quick description:

  1. Stamp a whole bunch of the small image to create a “patterned paper” then watercolor it! For the first one, I used Zig Clean Color Real brush markers, then splattered on some paint to get a fun texture (and to mask the fact that my background didn’t come out as smooth as I wanted! Lol.) These are tricks of the trade, my friends!
  2. Add a Stencil to the background…for the second card (which is the one on the left) I used Altenew watercolors and got some BEAUTIFUL colors. Then I took the circle stencil from a previous HH Kit and added the circles to the background.

3. Try no-line copic coloring and add a PUNNY sentiment with die cuts. Here I stamped the avocados in a light ink and colored with Copics. I show you how I colored up with Copics in the video. I ink blended that background with Distress Oxides and added a chevron cover die. Then I die cut the letters to make a fun sentiment.

4. Use die cut paper strips to make a fun background for your images. Here I paired that avocado with the taco from the same set. If you have leftover strips of paper, use them to make confetti for the front of your card. It’s a fiesta! So fun.

5. Use a grid to highlight lots of your small stamps. Here’s a “tray” of avocados with a sentiment that I stamped from a new FAVORITE alpha stamp set! I used different transparent ink colors to get a fun vibe. By using transparent inks, you can overlap your letters and still read it. Such a happy look! Try this at home!

Yes, it’s true!
