my first card uses the adorable Newton's Umbrella stamp set!

it's so sweet and simple, right?
I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating die to die cut it out!

for the background, I used the Clouds stencil and the new Lost Shadow Distress Oxide ink for the cloudy sky! and I just love how the yellow pops from the umbrella! then I used white embossing paste and the Raindrops Stencil for more texture! 

 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock, and then cut it into the shape of a banner.

 

my second card uses the cute cute cute Rainy Day Doxie set, of course!

the image was colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and I couldn't say no to a rainbow umbrella! and it really POPs against that light grey cardstock!

 

 

I used the new Spring Line stencil and some white embossing paste on the background to create the texture of grass for the pup!  once it was dry, I splattered some white acrylic ink on top of the grey cardstock for the idea of rain!

the sentiment was heat embossed on black cardstock and then die cut out with the Speech Bubbles Die Set.

all of these new products are so fun!

my first card uses the sweet, and very Spring themed, Spring Haul stamps and dies!

I love this cute little cute truck with the fresh flowers! it makes me think that it's on the way to a farmers market!
I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut it out!

I used a circle from the Circle Frames Die set and die cut out some vellum to go behind the image. and for the background, I used the flower images from Tulips, Daffodils and Dainty Daisies - the beautiful larger images of the flowers in the bed of the truck!

 

 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock, and then fie cut it out with the banner from the Frames & Flags Die set! the entire background of the card was also die cut with the large scalloped image from the same die set!

 

my second project of the day is a scrapbook layout featuring the new Quatrefoil Stencil and Spring Blooms paper pad!

I used the new stencil and some white embossing paste on the background of the white cardstock. once it was dry, I used lots of watercolors in rainbow on top! love how it makes the texture shine!

then I set it aside to dry, too. I used the Essential Alphabet Die Set to create most of the title on the layout, too! LOVE that cut out look! so fun, and different! especially with the bright watercolors in the background!

I used the Sky Scene Builder Die Set and die cut out some cloudy paper from the new paper pad. I popped up the clouds around the layout. and some of the paper was also used around the cut outs on the side of the layout!

I used Distress Inks in Black Soot, Uncharted Mariner, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina to create the background! I also used Squeezed Lemonade to create the moon glow. 
once it was all set, I used the Starry Sky Stencil and some white embossing paste.

 

I finished by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto black cardstock and then popping it up with foam tape! I used the Harold's ABC's and Out of This World stamp sets to create the sentiment!

Fly High Shadow Box Card

hi there!
today I have a fun card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and for some added fun, I made a a video too!
you can check it out here, or on my YouTube channel!

let's dive into this fun uplifting card, shall we?

what fun!! I wasn't wrong! ha!
I colored images from Fly High, Virtual Friends Add-On, Dandy Day, Super Star, Love Poems and Bubbles of Joy. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color all of the images, and then once they were all dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

I used the super fun Shadow Box Card dies with the new Stripes 'N Sprinkles 6x6 paper pad!
I also added some ink blending to the tops of the Shadow Box card itself with Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina, for a little extra dimension! what fun!

I also die cut out the hillside dies for inside the Shadow Box with white cardstock, and then I used Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Cardstock, and then added it to the back panel of the card - which is just the sweetest with the mouse! it looks like he's looking up at it! love how it turned out!

be sure to check out the video and laugh along with me, and to check out this card on the Lawn Fawn blog, too!
enjoy!
