autumn leaves and cozy reads!

hello!
today I have a fun, cozy card for any autumn or book lover! (which is me! lol)
this card is up on the Newton's Nook blog! 

Autumn Leaves & Cozy Reads Card by Samantha Mann for Newton's Nook Designs, Distress Inks, Ink Blending, Card Making, Autumn Card, Fall, Leaves, #newtonsnook #newtonsnookdesigns #distressinks #inkblending #cardmaking #autumn #leaves #fallcard #fallrainbow

I started by stamping the images from the Puppy's Reading List and Autumn Reads stamp sets.
then I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the images in. I added some white gel pen details to the images. and once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

for the background, I did lots of ink blending in a simple rainbow palette using a bunch of Distress Inks. to add a little more detail and texture, I used some white embossing paste and the Falling Leaves Stencil. I love that subtle touch to the background since everything else is so bold and saturated!

I stamped the sentiment onto the book, which I think fits just perfectly! ha! to finished the card, I popped up the puppy image with foam tape!

thank you cherry much!

hello!
today I have a fun card up on the Lawn Fawnatics challenge blog!
the current challenge is all about fun with food - and I had a BLAST making this card!

Thank You Cherry Much Card by Samantha M for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, Lawn Fawn, Thank You Card, Cherries, Cherry, Card Making, Watercolor, Ink Blending, Distress Inks, #lawnfawnatics #lawnfawn #watercolor #distressinks #inkblending #cardmaking #cherry #cherries

I started by stamping the images from Be Hap-pea and colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. but instead of coloring them green to be peas (as intended), I colored them in warm reds to be cherries!! so fun! once the images were dry, I used a white gel pen to add some extra details and then die cut them out.

I also stamped a bunch of balloon strings from the Really High Five stamp set and die cut them out, to be the cherry stems! I thought that was a fun idea to try out!
I used Distress Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron for the background. I ink blended the colors with the darkest shade on the outside and lightest in the middle. then I used the same ink colors and added some of the it with watercolor and a piece of clear packaging to get the watercolored look. and once it was dry, I went over it all again with ink blending to get the super saturated look!

to create the sentiment, I die cut out the 'cherry' letters using Henry's ABC's and some Peach Cardstock, then used a little Abandoned Coral Distress Ink to add some ombre colors.
the rest of the sentiment was stamp and heat embossed in white from the Fairy Friends stamp set. the letters and the sentiment strips were popped up with foam tape and everything else was attached directly to the card.

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

Peek-A-Boo Ghost Hugs Card by Samantha M for Lawn Fawn, Pop Up, Interactive Card, Card Making, Distress Inks Ink blending, halloween, baby, die cutting #lawnfawn #popup #popupcard #interactive #distressinks #Inkblending #cardmaking #handmadecards

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!

Peek-A-Boo Ghost Hugs Card by Samantha M for Lawn Fawn, Pop Up, Interactive Card, Card Making, Distress Inks Ink blending, halloween, baby, die cutting #lawnfawn #popup #popupcard #interactive #distressinks #Inkblending #cardmaking #handmadecards

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!


Welcome Baby Card by Samantha Mann for Newton's Nook Designs, Baby Card, Baby Quilt, Patterned Paper, Card Making, Onesies, #newtonsnook #newtonsnookdesigns #babyquilt #babycard #baby #diecutting #cardmaking


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.
