oh shoot! i'm late!

hello and I hope you're having a wonderful day!
today I have this adorable belated birthday card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! and BONUS I made a video to go with it!
you can check it out here, or on my youtube channel!

so cute right?!
I used the new I Heart Pandas and I Heart Pandas Add-on stamp sets! I also used the All the Speech Bubbles, Really High Five and Party Animal stamp sets. they were all stamped and then watercolored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once they were dry, I used a white gel pen to add some details to the images. then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

I used Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend with Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade on the card front and the hills. the hills were die cut with the Stitched Hillside Borders. I also splattered some white acrylic ink on the background.

I used the same colors and splattered ink to add color to the actual pull tab from the Let's Toast Pull Tab die set.
I also die cut out the arrow for the top of the pull tab from Black Licorice Cardstock.
then I used the same cardstock to heat emboss the sentiments in white and then cut them into banners.

everything was either popped up with foam tape or glued directly to the card. so fun and sweet!

be sure to check out the card on the Lawn Fawn blog, and watch the video too if you want to see some goofs! lol!

enjoy!

new year and winter inspiration!

hello!
wishing you all a healthy and happy day!
today I have a card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about the New Years and inspiration from the photo board!

this time I was inspired by the winter sparkles and sequins in all of the photos!

 
so pretty, right?!
I started with some Blue Jay Cardstock. then I did a little ink blending on top with Seedless Preserves.
next, I used the beautiful Birch Tree Stencils with some white embossing paste. and before it was dry, I sprinkled some Prisma Glitter on top. the I used silver stars, sequins and clear drops to add to the sparkle and whimsical vibe. 

I made sure to spread out the cluster of silver stars, clear drops and silver sequins around each tree and branch. As well as to make sure the glitter showed up.
I heat embossed the sentiment from Snowy Backdrops in white onto vellum. then I used the Fancy Wavy Banners to die cut it out and add a swishy banner.

I love how simple, yet beautiful this card is!
be sure to play along with the last challenge of the year!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #187 - Happy New Year Inspiration

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

the challenge this time is so lovely, and sweet and magical!

I was inspired by those gorgeous fireworks to create my card!

adorable!
I stamped and colored the images from Winter Skies and Over the Mountain Borders with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut the images out with their coordinating dies.

 

 

for the background, I die cut out the base with the Large Slimline with Sliders die set. I ink blended the sky with Black Soot, Uncharted Mariner, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers.
I used the Nighttime Sky Stencil to create the moon in the background, too!

then I used some gold foil and the Fireworks Hot Foil Plates on white cardstock then die cut them out with the coordinating dies. so pretty!! to make it blend in with the background, I used the same Distress Ink colors for the background of the fireworks, too!

 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white from the Let's Bokeh set onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then popped it up with foam tape!

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

enjoy!

ok, so the first card uses the new Puppy's Cookie Jar Stamp and Die Set!

 

for the background, I used some of the new Lovely Hearts Papers. so sweet! then I used the Frames & Tags Die Set backed with vellum on top! I die cut out the letters from the new Valentine Word Trio Die Set in white cardstock and ink blended them in Candied Apple and Dried Marigold Distress Inks to mimic the colors of the jar!

that sweet puppy is adorable! I colored all of the images (for both cards!) with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

my next card uses the sweet Newton's Cookie Jar stamp set!

I love it!
I couldn't help but accent that sweet sentiment with the Essential Alphabet dies, too!
I die cut them out of the white cardstock base. then I ink blended the entire base with Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Fossilized Amber distress inks. I also stamped the cookie images all of the background. then I splattered some of the brown ink around it too!
I backed the letters with a dark brown cardstock. 

the images were popped up with foam tape and I just love the pop of pink against that neutral brown!

today I made a shaker card using the new Charming Hearts Frame Die and Valentine Word Trio Die Set!

I haven't made a shaker card in a while and I had a ton of fun making this one!
I started by die cutting out the hearts frame in white cardstock. I used some of the hearts that were die cut out and added them to the border to bring even more love-hearts on the card! 

I then die cut out the word 'love' that comes with the die set in 4 shades of pink cardstock and put that inside the shaker!

 

 

for the background, I used some of the new Lovely Hearts Papers. so sweet! I used the new Valentine Word Trio Die set to add the big, bold phrase! I die cut it out 2x with red and pink cardstock for the POP!

 

then I added some sequins on the top of the card, and I love that brings some of the shaker bits outside, too!
