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:

Thanks for stopping by today!

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.

I hope you enjoyed this project today! See you real soon with another card to share.

I hope you enjoyed this fun project. This background is such a soft blend..and it’s so easy! Thanks for stopping by!

2 Layer Stencils

By KariV on March 5, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello, today I have even more ideas for using a 2-Layer stencil! Last week I promised extra ideas for using the layering stencil that came in the Hedgehog Hollow February 2020 kit…and here they are!

I’ve got five more (bonus) ideas and 7 cards to share with you! And I put it all in a video, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I think my favorite of the bunch is using just the second layer of the stencil to create a background, see my card below.

Although the foiled card is fun too…here I used foil on both the first layer AND the second layer of the stencil. Then I created a foiled sentiment die cut with toner paper. (I explain this more in the video!)

I’m sharing all my tips (and mistakes) with you in the video, too, so you can laugh at me (or with me…lol) and learn how to do things the best way.

I hope you’ll take a look and let me know which card is YOUR favorite! I’ll be back soon with more inspiration.
