you're one in a MILLION

hello there!
today I have this card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and guess what? there's extra fun today because I made a video for this card! you can watch it up on the Lawn Fawn blog, or here on my YouTube channel!

I love it!
I used the new Whoosh, Kites! and How You Bean? Money Add On stamp sets! I started by coloring the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then using the coordinating dies to die cut them out. then I used a white gel pen to add some details to each image.

I love the Ta-Da! Diorama! die set and so I used that to make my card along with patterned papers from Really Rainbow and Pint-Sized Patterns Summertime paper pads.
I also used Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn on the hills inside the card!

I used the money images and placed them on top of the kite strings that the mice were holding, which is just sooooo cute!
those little mice look like they're SO excited to 'be in the money!'
I used the new Ta-Da! Diorama! Sunburst Window Add On for the opening of the card! so fun!

I finished off the card with the sentiment in white on vellum that was die cut with the Stitched Sentiment Banners.

be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog and watch the video to see the card come together! :)
enjoy!

she sells seashells by the seashore...

hello!
today I'm happy to share this super summery and FUN card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog! the current theme is all about those critters having fun in the summer sun!

I started by stamping the images from How You Bean? Seashells Add-on! then I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  once it was dry, I added some details with a white gel pen and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies!
I couldn't resist coloring the shells in a subtle nod to rainbows! lol! 

for the background, I did some ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks in Vintage Photo, Fossilized Amber and Walnut stain for the sandy beach, and Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina for the ocean! then I used some white acrylic ink and a large dry brush to add the foamy waves! so FUN!!

I scattered the shells all around the beach! so fun! I heat embossed the sentiment in white! part of the sentiment is on vellum that was die cut with the Fancy Wavy Banners. and part of the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto a small strip of Black Licorice Cardstock.

be sure to check this card out on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog and play along with the summer fun challenge with us!
enjoy!

seashell card set!

hi there!
get your swimsuit on and get ready for the beach, because today I have a card set up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog to share!

I made 5 of these cards and they were not only easy, but SO FUN to make!
I used lots of watercolors and lots of splatters! I was cleaning out my craft room and found some Color Burst watercolor powders that I had forgotten all about!
first I heat embossed the beautiful seashell image from Seashell Roundabout. then I added the watercolor!
basically, you can sprinkle the powder on your card and then add water and it's like EXPLOSION of color. or you can add water first and then sprinkle the color and watch the color magic grow and blend!

I stuck to the cool colors like blues, teals, aquas and purples! but the fun thing about the powders is that some of them have random other powder granules and it adds so much dimension and dynamic color!  
once all of the watercolor was dry, I splattered some white acyrlic ink and gold ink on top! I just love the splatters!

I heat embossed the sentiments in gold onto vellum and then fie cut them all out with the Banner Trio Die Set.

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

**this is my 2nd post of the day! to see my card for the newest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, scroll down or click here!**

 

 

welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs June release!

check out what we're working with today: Hexagon Frames Die Set, Honeycomb Hot Foil Plate & Dies, and Heartfelt Honeycomb Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set

you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on June 21, right here! 
all of these new products are so fun!
and sooooo versatile!

my first project uses the super pretty Heartfelt Honeycomb stamps and dies!

I watercolored the honeycomb heart with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut along the edges! I also splattered the image with some white acrylic ink. I used the same heart image to stamp in a light grey on the white cardstock front.

I popped up some of the bees and drips of honey with foam tape.
then I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock and then die cut it out with the Banner Trio Die Set. 

my next card uses the new Honeycomb Hot Foil Plate!

I used some rainbow hotfoil! I love the idea of a rainbow honeycomb! after they were all hotfoiled, I fussy cut then out and popped up one with foam tape. I also splattered some white acrylic ink on top!

I used some hot foil in gold for the bees and popped them up with foam tape too

the sentiment is also from the new Heartfelt Honeycomb stamp set. I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock and then used the A7 Frames & Flags die set to die cut out the banner.

I had so much fun making both cards and can't wait to hear what you all think!

I stamped all of the images in a very soft grey for the background and then splattered some of the same color on top!
