Deck The Halls With Kara

Hi Guys! I'm continuing to build up my holiday card stash. I saw a friend on Instagram has already finished all of hers. I've got a little bit of work ahead of me. Lucky for me, it's my favorite kind of work!

For this card I decided to give an older set a fresh new look by pairing it with the Clear Cut Stackers Hexagons. These hexagons add a modern twist to any set! I decided to use Festive Greetings because this string of lights is so fun and easy to color. When creating many cards for a holiday I want each one to be special, but not too time consuming to create. This is just that!

I started with a white panel and die cut three hexagons in a staggered pattern. That left a large white space at the bottom right, perfect for my sentiment. On another white panel I stamped the string of lights three times. I was careful while stamping to make sure the lights would show through the hexagon windows.

I colored the lights with Copic markers and clear Wink of Stella. Before I popped the die cut panel up on dimensional adhesive over the holiday lights I added a few hanging down from the windows. I felt it needed just a bit more so I used the die cut hexagons that were left over and stamped some lights on them. I popped them up as well and had three layers of dimension and shimmering lights!

This is another card design that is very easy to recreate and mass produce. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pattern Stamping w/Kara ft. AUTUMN BLESSINGS

Hello! Kara here and I am fully embracing fall now. The weather is getting cooler and these sunflowers are just perfect for the season.

I stamped this single sunflower cluster stamp in a diagonal pattern on a piece of white cardstock. I used a Copic friendly ink so that I could do some coloring. I colored the flowers in shades of red, orange and yellow.

I die cut two hexagons, from Clear Cut Stackers: Hexagons, out of black cardstock for my sentiment. Using Versamark Ink and white embossing powder I added the 'Hello' sentiment from Butterfly Mandala. I stacked the two hexagons and separated them with some dimensional adhesive for a touch of added interest.

I hope you enjoyed today's project and a little break from the Christmas inspiration. Thanks for stopping by!

Geometric Background With Kara

Hello! It's Kara and I'm back with a card featuring some of the products from the most recent release. The release included some really beautiful nature inspired sets along with some versatile basics. My card today shares just one of the many ways you can use the awesome Clear Cut Stackers: Hexagon Die!

I chose the two smallest hexagons in the set and lined them, up one inside the other. I used a bit of post-it tape to hold the two dies perfectly in place. I then die cut several pieces of white cardstock. When I was done I was left with hexagon frames and centers.

I added color to the frames and centers using sponge daubers and Pure Color Dye Ink in the shades Little Piggy, VI Pink, Sweet Gelato and Cranberry Crush. I adhered the hexagons to a piece of white cardstock that had been cut with the 4 Bar Stitched Rectangle Die. I popped up a sentiment from the new So Very stamp set and stamped the secondary sentiment, from the same set, inside one of the hexagons.

I love how the position of the hexagons gives the illusion of a white frame around some of the small hexagons.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

So Very Kind With Kara

Hello everyone! I'm sure you have been enjoying this new release. There are so many wonderful new stamp and die designs. I have been sharing many projects on my blog, but I am excited to share a project with you here and I saved one of my favorites!

Have you ever seen hexagon shelves? I love them! I wanted to recreate the look of those shelves on my card using the new Clear Cut Stackers Hexagons. I used two dies nested together to create a frame. I adhered one full hexagon in the center as my focal point and several partial hexagons to give the illusion of more shelves.

Then, I needed to decorate my shelf. I used the Thanks & Hello set to create a stack of teacups. I simply cut along the rim of the bottom cup so that I could place the other inside. I colored a bright floral cluster to place inside the top cup using my Copic markers.

Using the new So Very stamp and die set, I added the "So Very Kind" sentiment.

I love the versatility of the Hello & Thanks set. With the floral and teacup images you could create something with a very vintage feel or a modern look like I have done here. I wish this was on my wall!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
