butt really...you're paw-some!

hello and happy Monday!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Design's blog, and it totally cracks me up!

see?
a pun with some cute puppers!! hahaha! what could be better?
I used the images from Corgi Beach Stamp Set! I also used the accessorizes from Welcome New Dog! I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out!
I also mirror stamped the image to make one of the corgi's facing the other way! so fun!

for the background, I used Distress Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. then I splattered the same ink colors and white acrylic ink on top, too!
once it was all dry, I used the Essential Alphabet Die Set to die cut out the punny part of the sentiment! lol! I backed it with some black cardstock so it really pops!

I used the Banner Trio Die Set and die cut it with some black cardstock and then heat embossed the sentiment from Heartfelt Woofs Stamp Set. LOVE that sweet set and all of the sweet sentiments!

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

Fawny Holiday Week 2019 - Day 6

hi there!
I'm so excited for this week on the Lawn Fawn blog - the Fawny Holiday week! 
and I'm lucky enough to be able to participate as part of the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge design team!

for this card, I used the super adorable Beary Happy Holidays stamp set!

soooo sweet!!
I combined with with the new Stitched Pond die set! 
first I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and then I fussy cut it out!

next, I die cut out the pond, but used the outside part of the die cut for my card! then I used Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks to add color to the inside image of the pond. then I splattered some water over top...because...I'm Sam! ha!

then, I stamped the bear image onto some old packaging and then pressed that onto the pond, to create the upside down, mirrored image! then I used the same markers that I used to color the main image, but reallllllly diluted! soooo fun!

I stamped the sentiment onto some pink cardstock, heat embossed the phrase, and then popped that up!!
love how this came out!

be sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog for allllll of your holiday inspiration needs! ha!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #45 - Lots of Love

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

this time, we're celebrating L-O-V-E! 

yay! and Lawn Fawn's latest release is allll about Valentine's Day and love!
so I used the new I Love You(calyptus) mini stamp set for my card! that little guy is too not to use!

so sweet right?! I mirror stamped the koala and then fussy cut him out, along with what felt like a million of the eucalyptus trees from the Critters Down Under stamp set! a perfect match!

I also couldn't resist adding some clouds from the Starry Backdrops stamp set! the background was created by using the negative die cut of a circle, and ink blending with Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberries and Dried Marigold...my new favorite color combo for Valentine's Day cards!!

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

get ready to sing it with me!

good morning!
today i have a super sweet and soft card to share using the new Newton's Nook Designs stamp set Winter Tails!! :) i'm also on the Newton's Nook blog today, so check that out too! :)

ok, so let's get to it, shall we?

awww! yes, so sweet, right? i colored the little kitties with copics, then fussy cut them out. the cat on the left was mirror stamped first, and then when i went to place them on the card, i did some mirror-masking to get them up close and cuddling! :)

the background was SUPER fun to make!
i used a white piece of cardstock and some gesso. first i crumpled up a piece of paper towel and dabbed it into the gesso then dabbed that over my white card base. i kept it towards the middle of the card, and a very light coating. once it was dry (literally 5 minutes), i smooshed my old paper distress ink onto my kraft mat, spritzed it with water and laid my card into the watery puddle! it was SO COOL! the gesso acted as a resist. i wasn't expecting that, exactly, it was a super happy accident! one i'll definitely recreate!

anyway, then i heat embossed in white the snowflakes from that same stamp set. then sentiment was made with alpha tabs and then stitched on to the card base. then the whole card base was popped up with foam tape over a soft strip of mint triangle washi! :)

i really LOVE this card!
hope it made you smile! and if you're anything like me, the song (let it snow) is stuck in your head too! ha ha!
enjoy!
