this November release is allllll about those coffee loving vibes!

 

this is such a fun frame, with so many options! I used the new Coffee Shop Paper Pad for the card and I loooooove the colors!!!

I also used some navy paper for the frame and the sentiment! I love the BOLD of the navy against the cool aqua!

I also used some scraps of paper I had already alcohol inked for the stripes on the coffee cups! such a pretty color to match the patterned paper!
I used white cardstock that inked up with Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber Distress Inks for the 'coffee' inside the cups.

 

then the entire frame and the cups were popped up with foam tape.

Sweet Spiders!

hi there!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, using some of the newest fall products! and BONUS: I made a video too!
you can check it out at my youtube channel or by clicking here!

who would have ever thought that I would say 'spiders are adorable', but these spiders are SO adorable! I stamped the images from Sweet Spiders and Sweet Spiders Add On and then used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolor them in! once they were dry, I used a white gel pen to add some details and then the coordinating dies to die cut everything out!
and who can resist a gaggle of pinks spiders!? lol!

instead of using a white cardstock base, I used acetate as my card base! so fun and different! I thought it would be the perfect way to highlight that spiderweb and make it pop! once the acetate was cut to the size of a card base, I folded it in half, and did some heat embossing in white (being very careful not to burn the acetate!)

inside the base of the card of adhered my alcohol inks background! I used a combination of Ranger Alcohol Inks and Pinata alcohol inks along with Alcohol Ink paper with Alcohol Ink Solution. I spread the ink color around with my heat gun, being careful not to burn or warp the paper.

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Ballet Slippers Cardstock and then trimmed down to thin banners. they were also popped up with foam tape. the spiders were popped up with foam tape, too for some extra dimension.
I just love all of the spiders with their treats in the webs! 

be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and check out the video too!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawny Holiday Week 2023!

hello!
today I'm here sharing a card I made as part of the Fawny Holiday Week celebration with Lawn Fawn!

today I made a slimline card with the adorable mice from Mice on Ice and Snowball Fight!

one of the reasons I love slimline cards the most is because you can expand on a scene! and these two sets were begging to be combined!
I colored them all with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut them out. I added foam tape to all of the images too.

I used alcohol inks to and yupo paper to create the look of the fozen pond! then I used the Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait die set to die cut out the pond!  I also die cut out some snowy hills with the Stitched Hillside Borders dies and white cardstock. then I used the same Slimline with Hearts: Portrait die set to die cut out the hills so they would all have the same scalloped borders!

I used Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot, Iced Spruce and Lost Shadow to create the wintry sky. then I used some white embossing paste and the Birch Tree Stencils to add some texture! plus I just LOOOOVE that stencil set!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then I fussy cut out the 'joyful' and cut the rest into a banner! I also popped those up with foam tape!

be sure to check out the rest of the holiday cards up on the Lawn Fawn blog today and all week!
enjoy!

sympathy card

hello there!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog and it's something I don't usually do: sympathy cards!
I think those orchid images are so beautiful! this time I colored them in an orangey/peachy color.

I stamped the image 3 times from the Orchids stamp set and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
once they were dry, I splattered some white acrylic ink on top. and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

for the background, I used alcohol inks on yupo paper to create the background. I used a small amount of black, navy and silver!

lastly, I heat embossed the sentiment from Bleeding Hearts in white onto vellum and attached it to the card.

be sure to check this card out on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
enjoy!

Newton's Nook Designs March Release - Spring Blooms Oval

**this is my 2nd post of the day! to see my Lawn Fawnatics Challenge card inspired by the Emperor's New Groove, scroll down or click here!**

hello!
and welcome to day 3 of the Newton's Nook Designs March release! 

 
check out what we're working with today: Spring Blooms Oval!

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 March 24th, right here! 
all of these new products are so fun!

I love my card for today, because it's so pretty (to me!), but so easy to create multiple of, too!

it's so sweet and simple, right?
first, I stamped the image onto the card base, itself.
then I used some alcohol inks in pinks and yellows on acetate! that was so fun!
while it was drying, I die cut out the window on the card front with the Frames & Flags die set!

once the acetate was dry, I attached it to the back of the front panel. then I used foam tape to pop up the panel! it's hard to see in the photos, but the dimension of the acetate above the spring oval image is so cool and unexpected!

 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock, and then used the Oval Frames die set to die cut it out!

slimline summertime card!

hello friends!
today I have a FUN and beachy card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! and guess what? there's a super fun bonus: I made a video! you can check it out on the Lawn Fawn blog, or on my youtube channel here!

what fun!
shall we get into it?

I had a blast making this card! lots of coloring, and lots of mixed media!

All of the images were stamped and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I colored all of the cats from Meow You Doin' the same way, and added tiger stripes to them, too! Just for fun! the rest of the images are either from Pool Party, On the Beach or Life is Good!
I also added details with a white gel pen to all of the images! I especially love doing that for the blushing cheeks and inflatable beach toys! All of the images were die cut out with their coordinating dies, and some of the images were popped up with foam tape for dimension.

For the background, I used Yupo paper and Alcohol Inks in Pistachio, Patina, Pool, Sail Boat Blue and Indigo for the ocean part. For the sandy shore, I used the Butterscotch and Dandelion alcohol ink colors! Once they were all dry, I used the Stitched Hillside Borders to die cut out the 3 sandy shore hills, and the Stitched Wave Borders for the ocean! I also die cut out a layer of Vellum for the ocean, too. I splattered some white acrylic ink on top of the sea shore to look more like grains of sand! So fun!
all of the layers were also cut with the Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait die set!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock and then fussy cut out around it.
I attached it to the card with foam tape so it would have dimension up there at the top! 

be sure to check the card out, and leave me a comment on the video, if you feel so inclined!
which cat are you at the beach?

enjoy!

end of the year cards for teachers!

hello!
today I have this set of 6 cards up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
it's that time of year again, and I had to make some thank you cards for my boys' teachers for the end of the year!

what's better than getting out some alcohol inks and Newton's Nook stencils!

love these!!
I used light browns and mustards for the sandy area, and light teals and mints for the water area of the 'beach' scene! so fun!

once the alcohol inks were all dry, I used the Seashells stencil to add some texture! I used white embossing paste first, and then sprinkled some glittery and sand colored embossing powder on top! once the embossing paste was dry, I heat embossed the powder and it all set!

I also heat embossed the sentiments from Seashell Roundabout and Heartfelt Blooms stamp sets onto some kraft cardstock. then I used the Banner Trio Die Set to die cut out the banners!

these cards came out SO cute, I almost don't want to give them away! but guess what?! they were SO easy to make! and hopefully it gets the teachers into the summer-y mood!
be sure to check out the cards up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
enjoy!
