Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #214 - Inspired by...Books, Movies and Songs

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

it's time for the best challege of the year! lol

this challenge has something for everyone!
and it's always one of my favorite challenges!

this time I was inspired by Zootopia!

I stamped and colored the images from Car Critters, Car Critters Road Trip Add-on, Scootin' By, Treat Cart, Coaster Critters and Critters in the Desert.
I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then added lots of details with a white gel pen. once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out

for the background, I die cut out the squares and rectangles with the Peekaboo Backdrop. then I did lots of ink blending with Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon.
on the card base, I stamped all of the images from Happy Village and Village Heroes in black and then did some splattering, too!
the rectangles and squares were popped up with foam tape. 

 

 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white after stamping it with Harold's ABCs.

 

lastly, I finished the card by added some stars with the Lots of Stars Background Stencils and white embossing paste.

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

enjoy!

A Mole Lot of Love Shaker Card

today I'm super excited to share a card I made for Valentine's Day, up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
and bonus: I made a video for this card for you to enjoy too! you can check it out here, or up on my youtube channel!

I'm in love with this card - it's been a hot minute since I've made a shaker card, and it's been a hot minute since I've made a slimline card. today, I combined BOTH with the Large Slimline with Sliders dies! and it was so fun to make!

I started by stamping the images from A Mole Lot of Love, A Mole Lot of Love Add-on, Little Woodland Library and Porcu-pine For You. then I colored the images in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen and once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut the images out!

for the background, I made my own clouds background stencil! I used the Puffy Cloud Borders to die cut out two edges of white cardstock, and use that as a stencil to create the 'mounds' of dirt for the moles to play in! I used Distress Inks in Ground Espresso, Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber to ink blend the 'dirt', and then I splattered like no one's business to mimic the look of sand! I used the same Distress Ink colors, as well as some white acrylic ink.

I used a bunch of sequins in various colors and sizes: golds, browns, white seed beads, gold and brown glitter and so much more! lol! I love how the shaker bits look together for this sandy scene!
I attached all of my images with glue and then used two layers of foam tape to pop up the shaker part.

I finished the card off by heat embossing part of the sentiment onto a banner die cut with the Stitched Sentiment Banners from Black Licorice Cardstock.

this card was so much fun to make, and really love how it came out!
be sure to check it out up on the Lawn Fawn blog and watch the video too, to laugh at (along with!) me!

enjoy!

i love you a howl lot!

hello and happy Wednesday!
today I have this sweet and punny Valentine's Day themed card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

the current challenge is all about Valentine's Day and love, and these cute wolves are ready to celebrate!
I started by stamping the images from A Mole Lot of Love, Wild Wolves and Wolves Before 'n Afters. I colored the images in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then added details with a white gel pen.
once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

for the background, I used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold for the sky, along with just a kiss of Black Soot along the top.
the grass was die cut from white cardstock with the Stitched Hillside Borders was ink blended with Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.

I love the sentiment inside those heart-shaped speech bubbles!
I thought about adding some splatters to the sky to mimic stars, but decided to keep this card simple so the wolves stood out.
so unlike me! lol

be sure to check out the challenge on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog and play along!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #213 - Lots of Heart

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

loving this season of love! lol!

so fun!
I had a blast making this fun Valentine's Day card mixed with old and new products!

I started by stamping the images from Critter Conversation Hearts Add-on, Swan Soiree and Wood You Be Mine? and coloring them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen, and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

 

for the background, I die cut out the scene with the Riverside Backdrop: Portrait from white cardstock. then I used Distress Inks to add color.
for the river, I used Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon. for the grass, I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles. then for the sky, I used Uncharted Mariner, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina.
I splattered the same river colors on top of the river to add some sparkly details. I also used the Clouds Background Stencils and some white embossing paste to add a tiny bit of texture to the sky.

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice cardstock, that I trimmed down into a banner. and then I added the conversation hearts to the 'dam' of trees too! so cute!

 

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

enjoy!

sweet kitty window scene!

today I have this sweet card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
I was inspired by my cats, who are obsessed with looking out all of the windows! lol!

I die cut the cat images from black cardstock with the Cat Silhouettes die set. then I added some foam tape to pop them up.
I used the Frames & Tags die set to create the window, and used a grey cardstock for the frame.
I also did some ink blending in the background of the window to create a pretty sunset scene.
I used Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold.

for the curtain, I used some woodgrain vellum an the Land Borders die set to die cut it out! it's so perfect! lol! LOVE it!
I used the bow from the Pines & Holly die set, and die cut it out from some warm pink cardstock.
then I used the banner from the Bookmark die set to frame the sentiment, which is from the Cat-itude stamp set and was heat embossed in white onto the black cardstock.

I finished off the card by placing the entire scene on the gorgeous paper from Love & Meows, which just looks so much like wallpaper for this scene!

check out the card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, and enjoy!

you just know I love coloring the mice and I had a ton of fun coloring these images for this fun valentine's day themed card!

for the background, I used the Brick Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Tattered Rose. such a pretty color combo, and perfect for this season of love! lol! 

I also splattered all of the ink colors all over the card front too.
I did the same ink blending with the stencil and the flappy mechanism of the die, so the brick would line up when it's pulled out! what fun!

I used the Flippy Flappy die to create the fun interactive element, and to have the mouse pop up with joy! ha! it just cracks me up!
I also die cut the think "LOVE" phrase from the Giant Outlined Love die with Black Licorice Cardstock.

I also die cut out the dirt piles from white cardstock using the Sky Borders die set. then I did lots of ink blending with Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Fossilized Amber. I also splattered some ink color and white acrylic ink on top.
