just plane awesome!

hello!
today I have this fun card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about that BINGO card!
and here is the BINGO I chose for today's card:

so fun!!
I LOOOOOOVE the idea of a BINGO card - the choices are literally endless!!

I couldn't resist coloring up the mice from Just Plane Awesome, You Autumn Know and Bubbles of Joy! I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! I also added some details with a white gel pen.

for the background, I used Mermaid Cardstock for the base of the sky, and Cilantro Cardstock for the base of the grass! I used Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend on top of the cardstock. I die cut out the grass with the Stitched Hillside Borders and Grassy Border Die Sets. I used Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon to add color to the sky. and I used Pine Needles and Mowed Lawn for the grass!

I used white embossing paste and the Cloud Background Stencils to add some texture and pops of white!
I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. and then I popped it up with foam tape. I also popped up a few of the mice with foam tape too!

be sure to check this card out on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog, and play along, too!
enjoy!

butterflies!

hello!
welcome to a new week - and to start it off, today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

I love these butterflies from the Monarchs stamp set! I heat embossed them all in black and then used watercolors to add the bright colors to the wings! once everything was dry, I splattered some white acrylic ink on top and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies!

for the background, I used watercolors in aquas to make the background like a sky! I splattered some of the colors on top and also white acrylic ink!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock and then trimmed it down. the butterflies and the sentiments were popped up with foam tape.

be sure to check out the card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, and have a great monday!
enjoy!

Kanga-riffic Card!

hello and happy Sunday!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog using some of the newest stamp sets!
and BONUS! I made a video to go with it! you can watch it by clicking here, or checking out my youtube channel!

so fun!
I just love these cute kangaroos!
I stamped the images from Kanga-riffic, Kanga-riffic Add-on and Mermaid for You and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
once all of the images were colored, I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies!

then I die cut out the card with the Peekaboo Pop-Up dies and did some ink blending! I used Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina for the base, and then Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the grass and hill! I also splattered some white and ink color to the hill to make it look like sand! the grass layer was die cut with the Grassy Borders after being die cut with the Peekaboo Pop-Up!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto the blue card base.
then I put the card bases together (SO EASY) and then it was time to place the images for my card! nothing was popped up with foam tape, it was all glued together.

I had so much fun making this card!
be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and also on my video!
enjoy!

welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs April release!

check out what we're working with today: Never Enough Books Stamp Set and coordinating Die Set, Bookmark II Die Set

you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on April 19th, right here! 
all of these new products are so fun!
and sooooo versatile!

my first project is a bookmark!

 

I die cut out the bookmark images, from the Bookmark II Die Set, multiple times from white cardstock. then I added a rainbow of colors with various colors of Distress Oxide Inks! then I added some white splatters all over! 

I die cut the bookmark itself two times: once with white cardstock and once in vellum. I used the Trailing Leaves stencil and some Black Soot Distress Inks to add some pops of contrast to the background!

 

I heat embossed the sentiment from the new Never Enough Books stamp set in white onto black cardstock.  

my second project is a card!

the images from the Never Enough Books stamp set were stamped and colored in rainbows using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I die cut them out with the coordinating dies. I also added some details with the white gel pen.

I die cut out the I heart books phrase from the original Bookmark die set 6 times from black cardstock. then I glued them and stacked them all on top of each other. then I die cut out a panel of vellum with the Basic Frames Die Set.

I stamped all of the images in a very soft grey for the background and then splattered some of the same color on top!
