Sweet Gingerbread House

Hello! Today I have a Sweet gingerbread House in a snow globe! I just love this sweet image and I couldn’t resist coloring it up in pinks and light greens in a no-line colored look.

I used quite a bit of masking for this project…stamping one image at a time then masking off to stamp the next. I first stamped the lollipops, then masked them off. Next I stamped the gingerbread house and masked that off. Then I stamped the snowflakes.

After the scene was completely finished, I masked off the ENTIRE snow globe so I could add those starlight mints!

I love the A2 Starlight Mints stencil! I used pink and light grey ink here, but you could ink in a traditional red color OR try a light green for a wintergreen mint!

Next I heat embossed the sentiment with metallic embossing powder. I couldn’t resist adding a little deer from the What’s Up, Deer stamp set. He’s so cute!

I matted the entire panel onto some metallic silver cardstock and I love how it plays nicely with that embossing powder!

Little Deer

Hello, today I am up at the Maker Forte blog HERE with some sweet little reindeer cards!

If you want more details, be sure to visit their blog. But I will share the video and some photos here!

How cute are these? There’s absolutely NO fussy cutting or masking involved! I think that’s an absolute plus when you’re working with small images like these.

A Sad Farewell…

Hello, today I have a sad farewell to the Hedgehog Hollow Subscription kits. It’s appropriate that my last card is a Day of the Dead card featuring a Panda bear!

I lost my father the day after Christmas 2020 and I’ve been thinking about him a lot recently. His favorite animal (which is also my favorite animal) is a bear. So this card has extra meaning for me!

If you look closely at the background paper, you will see that I chose some of the same colors to color up my panda bear. All these papers (except the metallic) are from the last Hedgehog Hollow kit.

I added some Liquid Pearls in blue and green and pearl to the panda in various spots. When dry, the liquid pearls add such an interesting texture.

How perfect is that sentiment? I love the theme and the bear. One of my paper layer is a gold paper, to add a metallic element to the card.

Well, I will definitely miss the Hedgehog Hollow Kits! But there is still a lot going on over at Maker Forte, which is the new company Alexandra founded. So I hope you will continue to visit!

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

Light Up your Card

Hello! Today I have a Light up Jack-O-Lantern Card video to share. This is an easy way to create a Jack-o-Lantern (easier than carving it!) that lights up. I couldn’t love this interactive card any more than I already do. I hope you enjoy!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

When I told my husband I wanted to color this pumpkin house PURPLE, he was skeptical. But I had a vision in my head and to make it come to life was such fun! I used some darker shades of Copic markers in purple and I just love the effect.

I used some EZ Lights again and they are so easy and fun! I think the coloring on this card took LONGER than making it light up. LOL. I share just how to do this in my video.

So now here’s the question: will you make a Jack-o-Lantern card? Thanks for stopping by today!

Adding Flock to cards

Hello! Today I’m up at the Maker Forte blog to share some Flocked Halloween cards.

Have you used flock on your cards before? Join me in class tomorrow night October 21, 2022 at 7:30 pm. Eastern time at the Hedgehog Hollow YouTube channel to learn how to use it!

I love the texture and velvety feel that flock adds to cards! Here the polka dots, the hats and bats, and the entire background of these cards are flocked! And that “HI” sentiment is also flock that I colored with some ink blending.

To read more information on these cards, visit the Maker Forte blog HERE.
