Sunshine in my pocket

Mixed Tape, Anyone?

April 9, 2020 Paper Crafting

Hello, I have a fun card today using products from the April 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit. Ok, it’s time to admit it: do you remember when mixed tapes were a thing? I think I may still even have a mixed tape or two back from the 80s and 90s! Yep, I’m throwing it way back with this one!

This kit is filled with masculine stamps, so I tried to keep the colors on the more masculine side. I stenciled on that background using Distress inks. I used the lightest color blue first, then shifted the stencil and inked on the darker blue.

I only used a handful of Copics for coloring this one…greens and blues and yellows, with some cool grays for the label.

Then I fussy cut the tape and the “rad heart” out. I added the cassette tape with two layers of foam tape. The notes and the heart are adhered straight to the card with liquid adhesive.

A simple card, but so much fun!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards, so I’ve made a list here 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!

So now I’m going to find the mixed cassette tapes I still own and listen to them! I’ll bet the sound quality is terrible…maybe it’s time to let them go? Lol. See you next time with more card inspiration!

May your days be filled with sunshine,

A Crafty Thank You card

March 26, 2020 Paper Crafting

Hello again! I’m back already with another card using products from the Hedgehog Hollow March kit! These stamps got me thinking about people who inspire me, so I put together some of the sentiments for a very colorful and inspirational thank you card.

You inspire me

See how the first “inspire” is a light green, the second “inspire” is a light yellow, and the third “inspire” is a light orange? Well, I’m using clear embossing powder to trap the color below it to get that neat look!

For the process video and to see how this card took on a life of its own, watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

White vs. Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel

March 25, 2020 Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a video up comparing the white Glitz Glitter Gel with the Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel. I am a part of the Save the Craft YouTubers Video Hop, with lots of prizes to be won (on every channel of the hop)!

I am also making a couple cards with the cutest Lawn Fawn images….and I’m giving away this stamp set! Check out the video below or on YouTube:

It’s a fun look at the differences between the gels on both black & white cardstock AND on a couple cards.

I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by
