my card today uses the new Cat Builder Die Set and Birthday Accessories Die Set!

so sweet and fun, right?
eeeep! this birthday card is so fun and happy!
I love how many positions you can create for the kitties! I decided to make this one kind of laying down. and then I added the balloons and party hat with rainbow colors!
I also did LOTS of ink blending on everything that was die cut to add a little bit of shading.

I also used the Frames & Tags die set for the background! I did more shading, and then used the Cascading Stars Stencil and some white embossing paste on top.
the sentiment was heat embossed with the Birthday Barks Stamp Set. then I die cut it out with the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set.

love it!
now how about some fun for all of the dog lovers!?

so cute, right?

I spent all afternoon die cutting those sweet pups! I looooove how you can create so many cute dogs and they all look different! I even switched some of the ears around to make them look different. adorable, I know!

I put each puppy on a 'stamp' that was die cut with the Postage Stamp Layout Die Set. and they each have a fun and bright party hat!! so fun.

I finished the card off by heat embossing the sentiment with the new Birthday Greetings stamp set in white onto black cardstock. then I just trimmed the black cardstock into a banner and popped it up with foam tape.

my card today uses the new Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and Cake Builder Die Set!

so sweet and fun, right?
I did a LOT of die cutting! I die cut out the pieces for the cakes about 6 times! I used a warm vanilla cardstock for the cake base, and then 3 different pink cardstocks for the decorations of the cakes!
I also used a light gray for the cake stand.

the sentiment was heat embossed with clear embossing powder in Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink onto vellum. then I die cut it with the big banner from the Frames & Flags Die Set.

 

I finished off the card by adding some matte white sequins around the cake images.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge#227 - Fun with Food

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

any excuse to play with some Lawn Fawn stamps is a good excuse to play!

so fun!!
I am most happy when I can work with a fun pun, and coloring up these cute little foodies gave me the perfect time to have fun with puns! ha!

I started by stamping the images from Let's Toast, Fangtastic Friends Add-on and Party Animal. then I colored them all in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers die cut out most of the images! I used the Summer Friends stamp set to add some legs and arms to the avocados, so I fussy cut those little cuties out!

I used some of the pretty purple stripes papers from the Really Rainbow 6x6 Paper Pack and the Shadow Box Dies, but I love the combination of the pinks and greens together! I used some Cilantro cardstock for the hills. I added some shading with Pine Needles Distress Oxide ink and also Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink for the purple patterned papers.

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice cardstock and I used Harold's ABCs combined with the sentiment from Party Animal. so fun!

 

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

enjoy!

aloha birthday wishes!

hello!
today I have a fun, tropical-themed birthday card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

I love how fun and bright it is!
Lots of color and inking and dimension!
I started by stamping the images from Aloha Newton and then using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in.
then I used a white gel pen to add some details, once the images were dry and then die cut them out with their coordinating dies! 

for the background, I did some ink blending with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral and Dried Marigold. then I used the Music Stencil on top, and used the same colors, but with a lot more pressure in order to add the subtle music sheet background!
then I used the new Music Notes Stencil and some white embossing paste to and added some music notes around the card. LOVE that pop of white and whimsy!

the sentiment is from Birthday Oval and was heat embossed in white onto black cardstock and the I fussy cut around it.
I popped it up, along with the hibiscus flowers, with foam tape and then glues the rest directly to the card front.

LOVE how bright and happy this is! Also, I hope the sentiment combined with the music notes really gets you humming along to the happy birthday song!
I'm officially really for the summer birthdays!

be sure to check out this card up on the Newton's Nook blog!
enjoy!

out of this world rainbow!

hi there!
today I am excited to share a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog!
and guess what that means - I also have a video to go along with it!
you can check it out here or on my youtube channel!

I used the new Rainbow Sentiments and Over the Rainbow die set, which I combined with the older Year Eleven, Out of this World and Party Animal stamp sets.

all of the images were stamped and then watercolored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen. then I used the coordinating dies to die cut the images out.

I used acetate for the rainbow portion of the die, and I'M IN LOVE WITH THAT! I used alcohol inks to add color. and I made sure that the alcohol ink side of the acetate faces down on the card.
then I set it aside to extra dry. lol

while the acetate was set aside, I did lots of ink blending!
I used Distress Inks in Black Soot, Uncharted Mariner, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina. then I made my own stencil using the Puffy Cloud Borders, and die cutting them out of some white cardstock.
I used the same ink colors, but with more pressure to add the subtle tone-on-tone cloud look. then I splattered white ink all over all of the pieces to mimic the look of faraway stars.

I hid the sun under the top of the pull tab, and then heat embossed another fun sentiment underneath! what fun this die is!!!!
I also added the 'earth-like' planet and its' moon onto the acetate rainbow itself so it moves along with the rainbow!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice cardstock and then added to the bottom of the card.

be sure to check this card out on the Lawn Fawn blog, and to watch my video!
it's a lot of inky-rainbowy fun! 

enjoy!
