My favorite Peace & Love Rose

By KariV on March 8, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have my favorite Peace & Love rose to share…that I’ve recreated on a card! I also have a video sharing the entire process. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I think the Love & Peace Rose is my absolute favorite, with it’s gorgeous yellow and pink blooms. I also share a Cherry Parfait rose in the video, which is a white rose with a red/dark pink edge.

In order to fit as many of the blooms on the card as I could, I elected to make a slimline card. I used some Oxide Sprays in the background, with some darker inking along the edges to really make these roses POP!

For the sentiment, I hot foiled and die cut out that HI, which is probably my very favorite hot foiled sentiment I own (this is a brand new product as well!) I offset a pink cardstock behind it to build it up a little.

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 rose project as much as I did! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

Crafting a Pansy

By KariV on February 23, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun video with some die-cutting techniques for Crafty a Pansy. I love pansies, my grandmother loved pansies, my Dad loved pansies…and these cards are dedicated to my memory of them!

I am also using some “leftover foil” to create the backgrounds of these cards. The shine and the shimmer from the foil and the Mica Spray really make them pop!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I hope you enjoyed these cards today! I’ll see you real soon with more to share!

Churro Love

By KariV on February 10, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a very special Churro Love card and video to share! It’s a quick video, so I hope you will check it out below or on YouTube:

This is a sweet little new stamp set called “Churrific” and it makes me hungry for churros! Lol. Sadly, I just found out that my Costco is no longer serving churros at the snack bar. So I guess all my churros will be in CARD FORM! (which is better for my diet anyway…ha ha).

I hope you enjoyed this churro card today. Do you love churros like I do?
I’ll be back soon with more cards to share!

Hello! Today I have a Valentine Card to share with a new bear stamp set that I love: You’re the Beary Best!

Today I colored up these cute images with Prismacolor colored pencils. Watch my video to see my tips for coloring with colored pencils and a blending stump. I just adore these images.

I hope you enjoyed this sweet project. This is a new part of my collectible BEAR collection! See you soon with another card to share.

Try this Masking Stencil Idea

By KariV on January 27, 2024 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a new Masking Stencil idea for you to try! I am creating a Valentine card with adorable stamps and stencils from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I started out with a stencil that had much white space in between the stencil pattern. Then I used a MASKING stencil in a new way: to mask off the first stencil to be able to add ink to the white space! I hope you will watch the video to see what I mean.
