purr-fectly autumn!

hello!
today I have a purr-fectly sweet and fun fall-themed card to share!
its' also up on the Newton's Nook blog, so be sure to check it out there, as well!

I started by die cutting out all of my images!
I used the Cat Builder Die Set and die cut my kitty from various greys in my stash. I also added a sweet little lilac collar! I even added a cute little circle of darker grey around one eye, one ear and two paws! love how you can customize this sweet guy!

next up, I die cut out a million leaves from the Autumn Leaves die set! lol! ok, not a million, but I went to town! I used lots of colors in various shades of pinks and yellows. then I added some shading to each leaf with coordinating Distress Ink colors. 

for the card, I used a warm greige colored cardstock. then I used the largest arch from the new Arched Frames Die Set. I popped up the outside with foam tape. then I layered the leaves around the arch and splattered some white acrylic ink around!

to finish off the card, I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto grey cardstock and then die cut it out with the banner from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. 

thanks so much and be sure to check this out up on the Newton's Nook blog, too!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #230 - Fairy Tale Magic

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

any excuse to use a Lawn Fawn critter is a win for me!

here we go!
I decided to go with unicorns, I couldn't stop myself! lol!

I started by stamping the images from Unicorn Picnic, A Little Sparkle and Special Delivery. then I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolor in the images! once the images were dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! I love how the green leaves and pink and red mushrooms really pop with the neutral background and squirrels!

for the background, I used some Lilac Cardstock. then I used Distress Oxide Inks in Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavendar along with the Cloudy Stencil to create the whimsical and cloud-filled background.
I popped up the unicorn images and sentiment strip with foam tape.

the sentiment is from Special Delivery and was heat embossed in white onto some Black Licorice Cardstock. then I trimmed it into a strip. I finished the card by heat embossing a bunch of the twinkle stars in white, and then splattering lots of Liquid Stardust around the twinkling stars.

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

enjoy!

I used Distress Inks to in blend some white cardstock, and then I used the same colors (Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Pine Needles) to then add a watercolor look on top of the ink blending.

I love the pops of red against the greens, so much!

I added the Autumn Dogs around the frame from Frames & Tags Die Set which was die cut from the Autumn Leaves Paper Pack. the background of the card also is from the new papers! 

then I die cut a panel of vellum with the Torn Edge Frames die set and placed it behind the frame and popped it up with foam tape.
I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some peach cardstock, then I die cut it out, also using the Torn Edge Frames die. 

I love the pinks, oranges and yellows for fall!

thank you so moth!

hello!
I hope you're all having a great day!
today I have a FUN and interactive card up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
and bonus fun, I made a video for this card! 
you can check it out here or up on my youtube channel!

so fun, right?
I started by stamping the images from I Like Cute Moths. then I watercolored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once all of the images were dry I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. pink and purple and coral moths? what's not to love! lol

for the actual card, I used the Ta-Da! Diorama! dies to die cut out the pieces from white cardstock. I also used the base of the card and some Let It Shine Starry Skies beige and gold cardstock. I did lots of ink blending on the white cardstock panels. I wanted to create the look from light in the back of the card to darker in the front!
I used Antique Linen, Dried Marigold, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves and Dusty Concord. I really love the look of beige to purple, especially for fall! 
then I splattered some tiny stars with white acrylic ink and Liquid Stardust onto all of the panels. 

I also ink blended the same colors for the hills of the card. 
oh! and I forgot to mention, I also used one of the dens for the opening of the card from Stitched Dens. 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. then I die cut it out with the middle banner from the Stitched Sentiment Banners. 
then I sprinkled those little yellow stars all of the outside and inside of the card!

I added the entire thing to another piece of cardstock from the Let It Shine Starry Skies cardstock to finish it off.
be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog and watch the video too!
enjoy!

welcome sweet baby card

hello!
today I'm so happy to share this sweet baby card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

I started by stamping the images from the Lovable Laundry set. I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers using pinks and yellows. I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the Stitched Onesie Die Set to die cut out the images. 

To create the background, I searched through the paper packs and picked a few pink and yellow papers from Fireworks Paper Pack, Halloween Party Paper Pack and Spring Blooms Paper Pack. Then I used the Card Layout 5 Die Set and die cut out the papers to create this quilt-inspired background.
I popped up each of the triangles with foam tape.

Next, I used the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set and die cut a tag using vellum. I also used some medium grey cardstock for the tag and sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment in white and then fussy cut out the sentiment.
I finished by popping up the onesies and sentiment on top of the vellum tag.

be sure to check the card out on the Newton's Nook blog, too!

I spent all afternoon die cutting those sweet pups! I looooove how you can create so many cute dogs and they all look different! I even switched some of the ears around to make them look different. adorable, I know!

I put each puppy on a 'stamp' that was die cut with the Postage Stamp Layout Die Set. and they each have a fun and bright party hat!! so fun.

I finished the card off by heat embossing the sentiment with the new Birthday Greetings stamp set in white onto black cardstock. then I just trimmed the black cardstock into a banner and popped it up with foam tape.
