yappy birthday slimline card

hello!
today I have a card on that's up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and it's adorable, I can't even lie! LOL
I love these cute puppies, and guess what? you can see me in action because there's a video!
You can watch it here, or go to my YouTube channel!

see? what did I tell you? too cute, right?
I had a blast coloring up these pups from both the Yappy Birthday and Yappy Birthday Add-on sets! I wanted to color them all, but as it is, my card is pretty full of puppers! Ha!

All of the images were stamped and then colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Once they were dry, I added some details with a white gel pen to all of the, and then die cut them out. 


I also heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and then die cut it out with the Fancy Wavy Banners. 


For the background I die cut out card fronts from White 80lb Cardstock using the Large Slimline with Sliders. I die cut out the smaller rectangle twice. Then I used the Grassy Borders to die cut out a strip of grass from one of the smaller rectangles. I used Distress Inks to add color to the background. 
For the sky, grass I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles. And for the sky I used Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina. I used the same colors on the larger rectangle, too. Plus, I used the Lots of Stars Background Stencils to add some added details to the larger rectangle! so fun!


I used the Let’s Toast Pull Tab Add-on dies to create the interactive element on my card! That cute little rascal has run away with some of the birthday banners! ha!! It’s so adorable, I know! :)

be sure to check out the card on the Lawn Fawn blog, too!
enjoy!

fur-ever friends card + video

hello again!
today I'm sharing a sweet, interactive card that is up on the Lawn Fawn blog! 
it was SO fun to make, and only had a few mishaps!! ha!
be sure to check out my video on youtube!!

aw, I just LOVE all of those kitties! 
I combined images from Keep on Swimming, Say What? Pets and Meow You Doin'!
I used lots of Distress Inks to create the background, ink blended them all together, and then for the 'wall', I used the Woodgrain Backdrops to add some wall-paper-y texture!

I think my favorite interactive die right now is the Let's Toast Pull Tab Add-On Die, and I used it to make that fish jumping in and out of the bowl! lol! 
this card just cracks me up!
the sentiment was combined with phrases from Critter Chatter: Pets and Meow You Doin'.

don't forget to check it out on the Lawn Fawn blog...and also check out my video on youtube, if you're up for a laugh! ha!

enjoy!
