Cherries x 3

By KariV on February 5, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I have 3 cherries projects to share with you using products from Pretty Pink Posh. I love these cherries and I couldn’t wait to make these cards (and an extra surprise!)

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I started with a simple cherry card below:

I started out with a Layered Hearts stencil, laying down some Uncharted Mariner Distress ink first, then a layer of Glitz Glitter gel. So pretty!

I set that aside to dry while I colored up the cherries and heat embossed the sentiment.

I knew those cherries would make a BEAUTIFUL full panel, so I started stamping a background of cherries and colored them up with Copics. Then, I turned it into a purse!

Doesn’t this make an adorable purse?!? I am currently obsessed with making purses, but a CHERRY PURSE??? C’mon! It’s too cute!

Last I made a cherry wallpaper for this card:

I love a cherry wallpaper, it reminds me of my childhood! Watch the video for the details on putting this card 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 these projects today! Check out my friend, Leslie’s store called Cobblestone Creek Studios. She’s in Oregon, but can also ship! That is where I got all my supplies for these cards. 🙂

See you soon with more projects to share!

Heart Shaped Cards

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

Hello! I have some heart shaped cards to share with you. I am using the Pretty Bird Stamp set from Miss Ink stamps for these valentines, so I guess they are Valentines “Cawds”!

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I made two different cards using different techniques: one using a masking technique, and one with glitter gel and a stencil.

This one uses a mask over the Wooden Heart stamp. I love to make it look a little more 3D using markers.

The second one is the glittery one! Oh how I love a glittery heart!

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! See you soon with more cards!

One stamp, Five Polar Bear Valentines!

By KariV on January 11, 2018 in Favorite Things, Paper Crafting, Valentines

These MFT Polar Bears have got to be a new favorite! If you follow me, you already know that I have a soft spot in my heart for bear stamps (of any kind!) so I can make cards for my Dad…it’s become a thing. So yeah, I collect all the bear stamps I can find that I think he might like.

This year, I purchased this set called “Polar Pals” from My Favorite Things. When I got it in the mail, my 3-year-old nephew was with me and when he saw them, he exclaimed “Oh, I love polar bears!” Then he ran off with my stamp set! Lol. So I thought I’d better make a Polar Bear valentine for him.

I ended up making FIVE different valentines, using this stamp set and Stitched Alpha dies as the common theme. Here they are!

This was the card that started it all! I woke up one morning with the idea to have a bunch of Xs and Os in the background (white on white). Yes, I did quite a bit of die cutting that day!

Then, this cutie became one of the “Os” in this card. I colored up all the bears with Copic Markers. It may be hard to see…I used red glitter paper behind the die cut Xs and Os on this card, so it has a glittery pop!

This one HAD to hold up a heart! So, using that same glitter paper, I die cut a heart for him. Added a couple Xs and Os colored with the same Copic colors as his scarf, and put him standing on top of a snowy hill. The stencil background is a favorite of mine from Penny Black. And that frame is a new favorite from Our Daily Bread Designs.

This ice skating bear has got to be one of my favorite images from the bunch. I love it when a stamp set includes great images….so great that you love them all! Here, he is skating on a silver glitter “pond” with trees and snow in the background. I popped up the trees in the forefront so there is some good dimension to this card. Those Copic Colored Xs & Os really pop on the pink inked background!

And of course I had to make a shaker card! The cutest little red heart sequins are inside, along with a Valentine mix of sequins sure to make the recipient smile (I hope)!

I really enjoyed thinking of different ways to make a Valentine card with one stamp set! I hope you enjoyed and got inspired to make some of your own. 🙂
