peek-a-boo!

hello!
and hopefully you're having a great day!
today I have a super fun, cute and interactive card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! and BONUS! I have a fun video to go along with this card too!
you can check it out on the Lawn Fawn blog or here!

eeep!
adorable!
I used the new Big Hugs Ghost and Big Hugs Pop Up dies! they're SO fun and I can think of a million different ideas for these cuties!! wow!
this time I made a sweet (un)spooky card that could also be a card for welcoming a new baby, too! who knew you could mix and match those two genres?! lol!

I started by using the cute ghost die and die cutting out three with Pixie Dust Sparkly Cardstock. I also cut out their coordinating 'arms'. then I die cut out one ghost (and arms!) with 80lb White Cardstock. then I used Black Licorice Cardstock as the backing for the eyes and mouth. I also used white cardstock for the blushing cheeks, and added some color with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.
I couldn't resist adding some more personality to the ghosts, so I used the tufts of hair from the Tiny Gift Box Unicorn and Horse Add-on! adorable! I used Distress Inks to add the pops of color. and for a few of the ghosts, I popped up their 'arms' with foam tape.

for the background, I did lots of Distress Ink blending to create the rainbow happy look! I used Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch. then I used the Lots of Stars Background Stencils and some white embossing paste to add a little bit of whimsy and texture.

inside the card, I used another piece of the Pixie Dust Sparkly Cardstock and this time made the ghost a rainbow! what a fun surprise! I used the same colors that I ink blended the front of the card with and LOVE how happy and sweet that little guy looks!
I added some Chunky Glitter to his cheeks to mimic the glittery background.

The sentiment was die cut out with more Black Licorice Cardstock and the Oliver's Stitched ABCs dies. I popped the sentiment on the front of the card up with foam tape, but inside is (obviously) glued directly down to the card base.

be sure to check this card out up on the Lawn Fawn blog and watch the video here too, if you want!
enjoy!

welcome sweet baby card

hello!
today I'm so happy to share this sweet baby card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

I started by stamping the images from the Lovable Laundry set. I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers using pinks and yellows. I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the Stitched Onesie Die Set to die cut out the images. 

To create the background, I searched through the paper packs and picked a few pink and yellow papers from Fireworks Paper Pack, Halloween Party Paper Pack and Spring Blooms Paper Pack. Then I used the Card Layout 5 Die Set and die cut out the papers to create this quilt-inspired background.
I popped up each of the triangles with foam tape.

Next, I used the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set and die cut a tag using vellum. I also used some medium grey cardstock for the tag and sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment in white and then fussy cut out the sentiment.
I finished by popping up the onesies and sentiment on top of the vellum tag.

happy Monday!

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!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #164 - Let's Celebrate

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

yay! 

 

 

I had so much fun making this sweet, baby-themed and shaped card!

 

One of my favorite older sets is Plus One!
It was one of my first Lawn Fawn sets, and the images are SOOOO cute and sweet and perfect for welcoming a new baby! I used the cute umbrella - which I LOOOOOVE and use for non-baby themed cards too! 

 

the images were colored them in various shades of pinks and reds with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. 
I added some details with a white gel pen, too. then I fussy cut them out.

I die cut out a bunch of clouds with the Stitched Cloud Frames and Outside in Stitched Cloud Stackables! I used Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot and Lost Shadow to add some color and texture to the white cardstock. Then I splatted some white acrylic ink on top! 


 

I popped up the small clouds and the umbrella images with foram tape. and then I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto some black cardstock that I trimmed into a banner shape!

I just love those little birds, I colored them like robins!
I colored all of the clothing in a rainbow order - offffffffff course I did! ha!

when I 'strung the clothes on the line', I added some foam tape the bottom parts, so the top of the clothing was stitched on and flat, and the bottom is popped up! love that dimension!
