hello!
and hi!
today I have this card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! it's so sweet, and bonus! I made a video to go along with it!
you can watch it by here or by heading to my youtube channel!

so cute, right?!
I used the new It's a Bird stamp set with the older Mini Pop-Up Box die set! I LOVE that die! it adds just the right amount of surprise inside the card!
I stamped the images and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen. and then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

for the outside of the card, I used the Puffy Cloud Borders to die cut out a 'tree top' inspired image from white cardstock. and then used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.
for the cardbase, I used the Birch Tree Stencils and Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the trees, and Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina for the sky.

inside the card is the real gem! yay!
I decorated inside the box with some acetate to make it look like the birds were flying, and the little mouse was popping up in the tree looking for the birds! so fun!
I also ink blended the inside panels with the same colors (Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron).
the box itself was stamped with the Woodgrain Backdrops stamp and then ink blending with Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the 'tree' and the same greens for the 'leaves' of the box!
hopefully you can tell that the box is supposed to mimic a tree!

   
the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. and I stamped a few music notes inside and out to finish off the card!
be sure to check out the card on the Lawn Fawn blog and the video, here!
enjoy!

I LOOOOOOVE these products today!
my first card uses the new Hyacinth set - and it's (almost!!) a one layer!

 

I stamped the images onto the background of the card front in Distress Oxide Inks. I used Wilted Violet to stamp the blooms and Mowed Lawn to stamp the stem and flowers. then I used the same colors, with the addition of Milled Lavender to ink blend around the stamped images.

I splattered some of the ink colors around, as well. then I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto vellum and trimmed it to a banner! then I used my sewing machine to stitch the banner on. 

I finished off the card by adding a bunch of sequins!  

my next card uses the new Daisies die set!

so pretty!
I die cut everything from white cardstock, and did lots of ink blending! I used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold for the blooms. Pine Needles, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron for the stems and leaves. and a little Mustard Seed for the centers! then I splattered everything with white acrylic ink.

I heat embossed the sentiment from Spring Roundabout in white onto some vellum and cut it to the shape of a banner along the bottom of the card.

for the background, I used white embossing paste and the Trailing Leaves stencil! love that little bit of subtle texture.

hello!

the current challenge is all about that Spring feeling! and what's more spring that rainbows!

I started by stamping the images from All the Clouds, Upon a Star, Beary Rainy Day and Easter Party. then I colored them all with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I added details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them all out! I just love that bunny costume jumping to keep the other bunnies dry! so sweet!

I popped up the costume bunny and umbrella image with foam tape, as well as the sentiment.
the sentiment was heat embossed in white from the Here for You Bear set.

Newton's Nook Designs Spring Release - Easter Postage Sampler Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set, Happy Easter Die Set

welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs sweet Spring release!

check out what we're working with today: Easter Postage Sampler Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set, Happy Easter 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 February 28, right here! 
all of these new products are so fun!
and sooooo versatile!

this spring release is allllll about happy, fresh and breezy!
I used the new Easter Postage Sampler Stamp Set for my first card!

I stamped the images and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once the imges were all dry, I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. except I didn't use this set in the traditional way! I thought it would be SO SWEET to pair those tulips with the fun Spring Garden Line Stencil! tulips on tulips on tulips!! 

for the background, I ink blended the stencils with Distress Inks (Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold for the tulip blooms and Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron for the grass and stems and Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed for the sky).

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some white cardstock, and then used the same greens to ink blending the strip of cardstock and popped it up with foam tape! and I finished the card by splattering some green ink on the bottom of the card.

my next card uses the Easter Postage Samper set and the new Happy Easter dies!

again, the images were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut out. I popped them up against the vellum banner that was die cut with the Basic Frames dies. I also popped up the phrase with foam tape after die cutting the words from various shades of pink cardstock.

 

 

for the background, I used the Bunny Tails Stencil set with Distress Inks in Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the bunnies andwhite embossing paste for the tails. all of that is on top of a soft kraft cardstock.

 

 

I finished off the card by tying a bow in pink and white twine across the banner! so sweet!
