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!

yeti or not...it's Christmas (in July!)

hello and happy Wednesday!
today I have a fun card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

the current challenge theme is all about Christmas in July!! and boy did I have a blast!

adorable, right!?
I just love those sweet and cute Yetis from Yeti or Not! 
I paired them with images from Beachy Christmas, Furry & Bright and On the Beach.
all of the images were stamped and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut out with the coordinating dies.

I used a piece of paper as a mask to ink blend the sky and sand!
for the sand I used Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo. then splattered the same colors and white acrylic ink on top!
for the sky, I used Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock and popped it up with foam tape!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #153 - Christmas in July

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

yay!

 

 

Christmas in July is so fun!!!
I had a blast making my summer themed-Christmas cards! lol

 

 

I imagined up a life where Santa fell in love with Mrs Claus...a mermaid!! and the reindeer in the floaty has my heart! lol!
I stamped and colored the images from Pool Party, Beachy Christmas, Mermaid for You and Ho-Ho-Holidays.

I used Distress Inks in Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo for the sand shore. then I used white acrylic ink and brown inks to add a sandy texture! then I used Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon for the ocean, then also did some ink smooshing of the same colors to give that watery vibe! the waves were die cut with the Stiched Wave Borders

 

finally, I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock and then popped it up with foam tape.
I also added some chunky glitter to the mermaid tail, floaty and beach toys! because...it's Christmas!! ha!

 

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

enjoy!
