Perfume Bottle Cards!

By KariV on March 9, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello. Today I’m excited to bring to you TEN cards that were a blast to create. I’m working with alcohol inks today to create some beautiful perfume bottles. These are beautiful new dies from Scrappytails crafts and I just fell in love!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I just adored creating all these, but you will have to watch the video to see them all come together! I had fun naming all the perfumes, too. Maybe I missed my calling to become a perfume namer! LOL. Enjoy as I share a few pictures here:

I turned this last one into a gift 3D shaker box! This would be fun as a place setting for a Spa Day or Girls Night. I loved creating it (and shaking it, too)!

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 these projects today! Thanks for stopping by. I’d love to hear what perfume scents you would make…and what would you call them? Leave me a comment below. See you soon with more cards!

Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop

By KariV on March 7, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle New Release Inspiration Blog Hop! We are so excited to share amazing cards from our Design Team members using the new release! For today’s special Blog Hop, you can win a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store!

Today I have a card share using some more of my favorite products from the brand new release! Here’s my card:

Just how adorable is that elephant?!? The brand new Heffy Doodle products I’m using for this card are:

I absolutely adore that elephant sitting on the circus stage! The wonderful part about the Birthday Number dies is: they include the “TH” or “ND” or “RD” to complete your birthday. Like the 4th in this card. Of course you can use it for other dates, too, not just birthdays!

The Carnival Star Backdrop die has my heart! It’s such a beautiful stitched background with stars that you can remove and piece back in (like I did here after I colored the stars yellow with a marker), OR leave them out with a sparkly interesting background behind it.

Here’s a closer look at that circus stage from the “At the Circus Die Set.” I love that it’s a layering die so you can add any colors, designer paper and such to get the look you want.

The presents are from the Wrapped with Love stamp set! Perfect for adding to my birthday card. I’ve gathered all the supplies I used in a photo list for you here, for easy viewing at the Heffy Doodle Shop:

Cherry Blossoms in Bloom!

By KariV on February 25, 2023 in Easter, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! It’s Kari with a new video to share. Today I’m creating a spring card using the Magnolia Sympathy stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps. These flowers make perfect cherry blossoms.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I love this set for spring…you really can have a lot of fun building up any bouquet look. Here I stamped the branches and extra flowers and leaves to create my bundle.

After I stamped on the flowers, I used the Diagonal Stripes stencil to add some shades of blue.

I added some Grit Paste through the Heirloom Blooms stencil. It reminds me of pollen…and that’s a perfect nod to Spring!! LOL.

Then I added some of the extra flowers and leaves with foam tape for some dimension. This was a fun card to create! I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Stealing a Kiss under the Umbrella!

By KariV on February 14, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a card with a couple stealing a kiss under the umbrella! I’m using the new J’Adore card Kit from Scrappy Tails Crafts.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This card kit has so much included: a large stamp set, a die set, a 6×6 paper pad, a layering stencil, and two packs of embellishments! Watch the video to see all that is included in the kit.

For this card I used the die set, the stamp set and some of the embellishments out of the kit. This die set is such a delight to work with! There is a base layer that allows you to add on each of the details of the die. I used ink blending to color up the elements this time, except for the skin…for that I colored with Copic markers.

That Scooter is from the stamp set…and I colored it up with blue markers. I love the idea of a scooter on a cobblestone path!

Sweet Spa Valentine with Vellum

By KariV on February 11, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have a Sweet Spa Valentine with Vellum featuring some stencils and stamps from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

How cute is that furry doggie?! I love the colors pink and grey together so I went with that color scheme for this card.

This card was so fun to make! I started out by stenciling on those large paw prints with some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. Then I die cut a heart from some light pink cardstock. I stenciled on the heart paw prints from the Pawstome Stencil using Picked Raspberry Distress Ink.

I cut a vellum heart just larger than the pink heart. This will diffuse the background and draw the eye to the center of the card.

After coloring the image and stamping the sentiment, I put it all together using foam tape and liquid adhesive. For all the details, enjoy the short process video.
