Adding Gold to Christmas Cards

By KariV on December 10, 2023 in Christmas, Holidays

Hello! Today I have a video about Adding Gold touches to Christmas Cards. I’m starting with the cutest Cozy Kitties stamp set and plaid stencil from Heffy Doodle.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

First I blended some Evergreen Bough ink onto my panel. Then I added some gold to my background using a gold pen…I just followed the stripes on the stenciled background using a ruler to get it straight.

This Cozy Kitty is just the cutest! I colored the images using Copic Markers. Then I cut out the Merry Christmas sentiment using the striped red paper from Tinsel Town 6×6 Paper Pack from Heffy Doodle. I love the red stripes! You can see I also used the same paper for the mat layer around my panel.

For the shadow layer of the Merry Christmas Sentiment die, I used Gold Metallic cardstock. It’s another easy way to add a touch of gold!

I hope you will check out the video to see all the details of this card coming together.

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! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

How About a Tropical Christmas?

By KariV on December 2, 2023 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a Tropical Christmas slimline card featuring Santa and Mrs. Claus at the beach! I really loved creating this card…I pulled in a Slimline Postage die set to make it feel like a travel/postcard vibe.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I just love these vacationing Clauses! They look so happy with drinks in hand. I gave them a bit of glittery gloss on their sunglasses…movie stars!

I hope you will watch the video to see how this card came together, and to see my cardstock-saving TIP!

Does it snow for Christmas where you are? I think Santa & his wife really deserved this tropical vacation!

I hope you enjoyed this video and card today! Happy Christmas!

Croquet with the Queen of Hearts

By KariV on November 25, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new card playing Croquet with the Queen of Hearts. This is a classic scene and I really hope you enjoy this video below (or watch in HD on YouTube):

I used the new Croquet set from the Alice Collection at Miss Ink Stamps. For the rose bushes, I pulled in the Painting the Roses stamp set. For some more interest on the grass, I used the small spots stencil and for the sky the new layered stencil Card Suits.

I just love building a scene with these sets! The sentiment is perfect and to spell out the word “Croquet” I brought in the Modern Typeset Frame Die (that also includes an alphabet)!

I hope you enjoyed this card today! See you soon with more to share!
