Hey, Gorgeous!

By KariV on June 1, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Did you see my giveaway as a part of the Save the Crafty YouTuber video hop? Click here to see it!

As a part of that hop, I’m giving away two of my favorite word dies from PinkFresh Studio. I’ve been making a few more cards with them because I just can’t stop! Lol

These first two are just simply inked backgrounds that have been embossed, then I added the sentiments in gold glitter paper! I put a white backing on those sentiments so they would stand out.

It is so simple to create a striking card with just a few products! I used fun foam behind this sentiment to make it really pop off the card.

For these next cards, I did not use the backing for the sentiments, just the words alone. It’s great you can get such a variety of looks.

Those large flowers look so beautiful with this sentiment, I think! I colored the flowers up with Copics, then added a sentiment to match. For the blue flower below, I didn’t have paper that matched exactly, so I just used the same copic marker to color on some white paper. Then I die cut the sentiment from that!

To enter to win a set of these sentiment dies, all you have to do is comment on my video here. And you may want to continue hopping on this video hop because there are over 50 prizes to be awarded! (I hope you win!)

I’m often asked what supplies I use on my cards, so I have a list below. Affiliate links are used, when possible, so if you purchase using that link below, I may get a small commission. These help me keep up with my blog costs and to continue to bring you fun projects. Thank you for your support!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Corgi Love (with Heffy Doodle)

By KariV on March 17, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to be guest posting over on the Heffy Doodle blog. I’m featuring the new “Oh Crumbs” stamp set with the cutest Corgis ever! Head on over to the Heffy Doodle Blog to see how I made these four cards:

I also have a bonus VIDEO for you today, showing you how to Mirror Image any stamp in your collection.

See those Corgi cards on the left? I used the mirror image technique to get one Corgi to face the other! Such a fun technique and great when you want to have additional options.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I hope you give this technique a try yourself. I remember when I first learned how to mirror image a stamp from my friend Suzy…I was mesmerized and did not think I would be able to remember how to do it. But once you try it, it’s easy!

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the Heffy Doodle blog to see all four cards and details on how to make them.
