Hedgehog Hollow: Another project with the September box!

Hey, all!

If you have seen my unboxing video of the Hedgehog Hollow September box, you know that I simply adore the flower stamps in there! And since last time I created a very easy-peasy card with the shadow oval, I decided that today's project should include a bit more colours!

So I first started with a white A2 cardbase, then cut down the gray cardstock from the September kit to a 3 3/4"x5" rectangle that was going to mat the 3 1/2"x4 3/4" piece of white cardstock onto which I stamped and coloured the large bouquet stamp with Copic-friendly black ink (my favourite is the Raven hybrid ink at LDRS Creative, because it works both for alcohol markers and watercolouring!). Then, I stamped a few stems below it. I also stamped and coloured a few flowers on a different piece of cardstock, so that I could fussy cut with sharp scissors and add them on the card front with foam tape. 

Last but not least, I stamped a sentiment with black ink on the blue cardstock from the kit, popped it with foam tape, and completed the project with some Simply White Nuvo Drops.

I hope you like this second take on the September kit and make sure to scoop it while it lasts in the Hedgehog Hollow shop!

Hedgehog Hollow: Unboxing the September kit + VIDEO

Hey, all!

I'm super excited to be a guest at Hedgehog Hollow and their subscription kit! Since I've been doing cards for a good while now, I was positively happy to see a company coming together with different brands into one box, every month. 

So as soon as I received the September kit, I thought of creating a quick and easy project that everybody could make under 5 minutes. Don't believe me? See the video below where I unbox and wrap it up faster than you can think. 

Okay, not THAT fast, but still, this shows you how fun it is to play with the Catherine Pooler ink and all three stamp sets included in the box.

I first started with a white A2 cardbase, then stamped the oval shadow stamp with the Copa Cabana ink right in the center of my card. TIP: use a multi-stamping tool if you want awesome coverage, although the ink is definitely juicy enough for total vibrancy with only one layer. 

Next, I carefully positioned the coordinating flower stamp and stamped it with black ink, for a color block look. Last step was to choose a sentiment (so many choices, for all occasions!), heat emboss with white powder on the gray cardstock that is part of the kit, and trim it down. I added that little piece of sentiment with foam tabs at the bottom of the oval directly on the card front, completed with a few Simply White Nuvo Drops, and that was it!

I cannot wait to show you my next project and make sure to be back for more inspiration!
