Magical Starry Background Castle card

By KariV on June 14, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a Magical Starry Background and Storybook Castle card to share (with a video of course)! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This is a very fun one to create using some favorite techniques: ink blending, glossy paste through a stencil, foundry wax splattering, and white pigment ink through a stencil! I also added some additional Magical mini stars with silver glitter cardstock for good measure! I hope you will take a minute to check out the video on this one.

I was inspired by a pop-up book, where you turn the page and the next image pops up in 3D! You know the kind of books? So I thought that Storybook from the Storybook Alice stamp set (Miss Ink Stamps) would be the PERFECT way to create a pop-up look alike with the Magical World stamp set for the castle. Oh, how awesome! I share all my tricks for you in the video…so I hope you’ll check it out.

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 this project today! Thanks for stopping by!

Alice Set of Cards

By KariV on May 28, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have an Alice Set of Cards to share that is so fun to create and will definitely bring smiles! Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I created six cards for this gift set, and included envelopes as well. I used the same elements to create the frame and background, but changed up the top stencils and the images. I think keeping some of the elements the same will create a cohesive set of cards!

I hope you enjoyed this set of cards today! I loved creating this and I just adore these sets from Miss Ink Stamps! I’ll be back soon with more to share.

Playing with Fire (Stencil)

By KariV on May 24, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello, today I am playing with a new Fire Stencil from Miss Ink Stamps…this is such a cool one because you can add different layers and sized of fire AND you can even mask off the fire to create a different background.

Watch the video here or on YouTube:

I love the new sets from Miss Ink Stamps…this one is particularly funny with sentiments that make me giggle!

Today I thought I would make a “sort” of encouragement card with the sentiment: It’s trash can, not trash can’t!

Just how cute are those raccoons?! I used the Perspective floor stencil for the cobblestones to ground the images, and the new Flames stencil for the background. I think this flames stencil would also be cool for a car or a guitar scene!

I cut both the YES alpha and frames from the EIEIO Frame Die set…it’s so awesome to get both frame layers and an alphabet in the same die set. I get so much use out of Miss Ink Stamps’ frame dies!
