sweet treats for a sweet friend!

hello!
today I have a sweet Valentine's Day card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

I used two of the new Valentine's Day release sets: Puppy's Cookie Jar and Valentine Postage Sampler. I stamped and colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once the images were dry, I used a white gel pen to add some details to the images.

I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.
then I used the largest die from the Speech Bubbles Die Set and then and die cut from some white cardstock.
I used Distress Oxide Inks in Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral and Dried Marigold to ink blend the speech bubbles. then I splattered some white ink on top.

I used all of the small images inside the speech bubble and then popped up the entire speech bubble and puppy image with foam tape.
the sentiment was heat embossed on the cookie jar.

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

Lawn Fawn - Lots of Hearts Week 2025

Hello!
so excited to be part of Lawn Fawn's Lots of Hearts Week!
I had so much fun making this sweet Valentine's Day card with the cutest pandas!

I stamped and colored the images from I Heart Pandas and I Heart Pandas Add-on with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. once they were dry, I added some details with a white gel pen!

I ink blended the background with Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. then I splattered some water and black ink on top! so fun and I love the contrasting colors!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto black cardstock.
I popped up the sleepy panda, speech bubble and sentiment with foam tape.  I finished off the card by placing some hearts around the bamboo stalks! so fun!

be sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog for even more inspiration from the Lots of Hearts week!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #188 - Let's Celebrate

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 easy, yet so FUN! you'll want to play along more than once!

the Let's Celebrate challenge is sooo fun and versatile! this time, I decided to make a sweet rainbow baby card!

adorable!
I stamped and colored the images from Plus One with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I used the coordinating dies to die cut the images. and of course - I couldn't resist coloring them in a rainbow palette!

 

for the background, I die cut the base with the Large Slimline with Sliders dies from Fog Cardstock. then I used some white embossing paste and the Cloud Background Stencils to add some subtle texture.
a few of the umbrellas were popped up with foam tape, but most were tapped directly on the card front.

 

I heat embossed part of the sentiment from Little Bundle in black onto some vellum. then I die cut it out with the Fancy Wavy Banners. the rest of the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock. then I trimmed it way down. 

 

I finished the card off with a light sprinkling of black ink around the card!
I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

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!

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!

today I have 2 cards to share, and they're my favorite of the release!

eeep!! I know, right!?
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!
