literally the best!

hello!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog with some of the cutest little book lovers ever!
and BONUS, there's a video!
be sure to check it out on the Lawn Fawn blog or on youtube!

I stamped and colored the images from Little Woodland Library and Little Woodland Library Add-on with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.
then I added some details with a white gel pen once everything was dry.
next, I used the coordinating dies to die cut everything out and set the images aside.

I used the Shadowbox Card dies with some Mermaid Cardstock to create the card base. then I used Distress Inks to add some color and dimension to the background of the scenes.
I used Blueprint Sketch and a little Peacock Feathers with white acrylic ink splatters for the sky. then I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine needles for the ground and hills inside the card.

it was SOOOO fun to decorate inside, outside and all around of the shadowbox card - which I think is my favorite reason to create a shadow box card. well that, and it's SO easy!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black licorice cardstock.

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!

enjoy!

you desert the best!

hello!
happy weekend! today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog using some of the newest products! so fun! and BONUS, I have a video to share with this card, too!! you can watch it by heading to my youtube channel, or clicking here!

I think this card is so cute!
I just love the pops of color! and speaking of color, I stamped the images from A Bug Deal, Year Ten and the new Critters in the Desert stamp set. I colored them in with 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.

I did a LOT of Distress Ink blending on this slimline card!
I cut the card base using the Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait frame. then I used some white cardstock and the Stitched Hillside Borders and die cut 3 hills. I lined the hills up according to the height that I wanted them, and then I used some washi tape on the back of them to keep them together. then I used the same frame from before and die cut out the hills! and that is how the rest of the scene comes together in a cohesive manner!

I used Distress Inks in Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the hills. then I splattered some white acrylic ink, as well as the ink color on top to give it a sandy texture.
for the sky, I used Black Soot, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina. then I used the stencil and the same colors, but with more pressure then I splattered some white ink on top to mimic night stars! 

all of the critters were attached with foam tape. and then the rest of the images were glued directly to the scene.
I heat embossed the sentiment onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then used the Fancy Wavy Banners to die cut it out.

be sure to head over to the Lawn Fawn blog to see this card, and also check out my video, too!
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!

give it a whirl...with bubbles!

hi there!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and BONUS! I made a video to go along with it! you can check it out on my youtube, or here!

I couldn't resist trying out the new Give it a Whirl die set from Lawn Fawn!
I stamped and colored the cute little images from Bubbles of Joy, You're Just My Type, Virtual Friends Add-on and You Autumn Know with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut them out!
I added some details with a white gel pen, and then set them aside as I created the rest of the card.

I used some Fog Cardstock and the Brick Stencil to create the cardbase. I used White Embossing paste AND Fairy Dust Embossing Paste to add the texture and the background. I used Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Mustard Seed to add the rainbow look on the 'bubbles' that were die cut with the Give it a Whirl die set.

I heat embossed the sentiment on the small circle that whirls around! and then attached all of the images around the card and on the large circle of the die set with glue. 

so cute!

i carrot 'bout you!

hi there!
today I'm so excited to be sharing my card that's up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
and BONUS! I made a video to go with it!
you can watch it by checking out my youtube page or clicking here!

All images from Hey There, Hayrides! Bunny Add-On, Carrot ‘bout You and Easter Party were stamped and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! I also added some details to each image with a white gel pen.
I combined the new images with an older set because I love how easy it is to mix and match Lawn Fawn images! 

Also, let’s be honest, that bunny is too cute! 


I used the Reveal Wheel and Reveal Wheel Square Add-On dies to create a fun interactive element to my card! But instead of using the reveal wheel to reveal sentiments, I made it as part of a larger mechanism to move the bunny like he was riding along! 
I used the new papers from the Rainbow Ever After paper pad (my new favorite paper pad, for sure!). 

I love how the pastel colors compliment the sprint/easter feel of the card!
I also added some vellum grass at the base of the card to add a little more subtle texture to the scene!

I also added some vellum grass with the Grassy Borders Die Set. the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Guava cardstock and then die cut with the Fancy Wavy Banners dies.

enjoy!

flippy flappy hedgehogs!

hi there!
I'm so happy to be sharing my card that's up on the Lawn Fawn blog! and bonus - I made a video you can watch too! you can watch it here, or on my youtube channel!

I have been so inspired by all of the heart-themed projects lately, that I kept that ball rolling and made an interactive heart-themed card, too!

so fun and cute!
all images were stamped and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!
I also added some details to each image with a white gel pen. I used images from Yappy Birthday Add-On, Elephant Parade Add-On, Porcu-pine for You Add-On and Porcu-pine for You.

I die cut out the "so mush" letters with white cardstock and the Henry's ABCs dies. then I used Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Tattered Rose to add some color.
I used those same colors to ink blend on the card front. then I splattered some water and white acrylic ink on top of everything!

Once it was all dry, I started to create the interactive part of the card with the Flippy Flappy die set! I used the pull tab and the same Distress Oxide Inks to carry the scene out as you pull the tab. (I also splattered water and white acrylic ink on top, too).

I used the rectangle from the Flippy Flappy die set and die cut it out with acetate so it looks like the little porcupine, grass and mushroom are magically appearing on the card front!
I popped up the porcupines and a few mushrooms onto the card front itself, and that's the card!

be sure to watch the video and laugh along with me, or check it all out on the Lawn Fawn blog, too!
enjoy!

you're waffle-y great!

hi!
today I'm happy to pop in and share a fun, interactive card that's up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
I used the new A Waffle Lot stamps and dies, as well as some older products to create this simple, but unique card!
and BONUS, I made a video! you can check it out here, or on my YouTube channel!

I stamped and colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used the coordinating dies to die cut most of the images. but, because I added the arms and legs to the waffles with the Be Hap-pea set, I had to fussy cut those out.
I love adding the arms and legs and making little food critters! Ha!



I used the Sunray Background stencil and a rainbow of Distress Ink colors on top of the Fog Cardstock to some fun and happy tones to the background. 
I also splattered some white acrylic ink paint on the background.



I created a hand drawn waffle iron using some Black Licorice cardstock and a pencil. then I fussy cut it out and added some ‘silver’ handles. I placed one of those cute waffles inside for a surprise, too! lol! 
I also die cut out part of the sentiment with Henry’s ABCs to add some extra emphasis to the sentiment.



all of the waffles were popped up with foam tape for extra dimension!

enjoy!

peekaboo pop-up with wolves!

hello!
today I have card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and you know what that means - I have a video too!
you can check out the video by heading over to my youtube channel or clicking here!

I used the adorable new Wild Wolves and Wolf Before 'n Afters stamp sets and combined them with the balloons from Party Animal and Really High Five!
oh, and did I mention I used the Peekaboo Pop-Up die set to add a little extra kick?

soooo cute!
I stamped all of the images and then colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! once they were dry I added some details with a white gel pen and die cut them out.

I used the Peekaboo Pop-Up die set and die cut out the two main panels from white cardstock. then I did lots of ink blending! I actually cut out the main panel a 3rd time, and cut two of the panels with the stitched hill die so I could layer the hills!
I used Black Soot, Uncharted Mariner, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina for the sky. Plus a little glow of Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade for the moon!

I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles for the hills and grass!

then it was the fun part! I attached the moon with some acetate to the pop up mechanism and so it looks like it's floating in the sky!
I also sprinkled lots of star images in the sky and even hid a little balloon on one of the folds!

I could play with this card all day! it was so fun to make, and WAY easier than I thought it would be!

a crabby shell-ebration!

hello!!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and I even made a little video to go along with it! you can check it out here, or on my YouTube page!
I couldn't resist turning those cute shells from How You Bean? Seashell Add-on into balloons for a beachy birthday party!

 I used the balloons from Really High Five and stamped a little balloon knot at the end of the shells. then I stamped the birthday hats from the same set. finally I stamped the crabs and sand castle from Life is Good. all of the images were stamped and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I couldn't use the coordinating dies from the seashell-balloons so I fussy cut them out!

then I die cut out the card front with the Large Slimline with Sliders and used Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend the beach scene! for the sandy shore, I used Stained Walnut, Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber and then splattered it all over with the same colors as well as some white acrylic ink.
I used some extra cardstock I had leftover from die cutting with the Stitched Hillside Borders as a mask along the corner of the card. for the ocean part, I used Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina. I used a large dry brush and some white acrylic ink to create the ocean spray!

some of the crabs and balloons, were popped up with foam tape.
I also heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock and popped that up too!

today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! and guess what? I also have a video of this card for you to enjoy!

so cute!
I used the new Simply Celebrate More Critters stamps and dies! and I combined them with the adorable A Bug Deal stamps and dies!
all of the images were stamped and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut out. I also added some white details with the white gel pen.

I die cut out the tree canopy with the Puffy Cloud Borders, the hills from the Stitched Hillside Borders and the grass from the Grassy Border dies all from white cardstock. then I used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles and Twisted Citron for the tree tops. I used Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers for the hills and grass!
I also used a piece of white cardstock cut to a card base and used Distress Oxide Inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina. I attached this piece to the inside of the card base.

then I cut the top of the card base, and attached a piece of acetate cut to the size of the card base to the top flap of the card.
then I attached the tree tops on top of the acetate, as well as the grass and hills.
I also attached all of the critters on top, except for the two butterflies.

I attached the two butterflies inside the card, and heat embossed the rest of the sentiment in white inside the card, hidden until it's open.
the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto black cardstock and then popped up with foam tape on the front of the card.
