3 Valentine Cards with Lawn Fawn

2022-01-27T20:28:00.002-05:00

As the month of January wraps up, the cardmaking world is looking ahead to Valentine's Day cards. If you follow me on Instagram, you've already seen these! Today I'm sharing three sweet cards for the big day, all featuring stamps from Lawn Fawn. I was also inspired to make these cards for the Lawnfawnatics "Lots of Heart" challenge.

You'll notice that all of my cards today also feature those mini stamps that Lawn Fawn sells for just a few bucks. These stamps usually have a fun punny phrase to match with a sweet little critter. My first card uses "Stinkin' Cute" combined with little flowers and grass from the Butterfly Kisses set. The background was created with a Simon Says Stamp Falling Hearts stencil with gold paint. All of the images were colored with Copic Markers and cut with my Brother Scan n Cut machine.

Llama tell you... I like you! I enjoyed creating this card with the different cardstock layers matching the sweet llama. The used the Lawn Fawn stamp "Llama Tell You" paired with cactus from the "Stuck on You" stamps. The cardstock is die cut with the Nordic Frames die from The Greetery. The background is created with the Heffy Doodle Confetti Hearts stencil and gold paint. These images were also cut using my Brother Scan n Cut machine.

You're my stud puffin! My last card uses Lawn Fawn's Stud Puffin set paired with Christmas Fishes for the rocks. All images were colored with Copic Markers and cut in my Brother Scan n Cut machine. For the background I used the Falling Hearts stencil with Deco Foil transfer gel duo. I let the gel dry overnight, then ran it through my Big Shot with gold foil from Gina K.

Thanks for stopping by! Get going on those Valentine's Day cards!

Sunny Days Ahead

2022-01-25T09:00:00.001-05:00

I know many of you are shivering under sheets of ice and blankets of snow these days. I thought I'd bring out some sunny California cheers for those who are feeling like the warm weather may never come back!

This card features stamps, dies, and stencils from The Greetery "Destination" series, mostly from the "Destination: Summer" set. I love all of the small images that can easily be combined in any way you wish. I was going for a Southern California vibe with this card!

I inked the stencil using Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Lemonade, and Tumbled Glass. The images are stamped with a variety of colored inks, but I mainly used Hero Arts Shadow Inks as those give me the best coverage on my stamps.

Sunny days are on the way! (I promise!)

This next card has more desert vibes. Think: Palm Springs meets Lake vibes.

I hope you enjoyed a little but of sunshine!

You Make me a Happy Camper

2022-01-24T00:01:00.001-05:00

Hello and happy Monday. I'm over at the Topflight Stamps blog sharing this outdoorsy card. I have a card today that brings back great memories! As a child my family took many trips to the beautiful national parks in our country. We would always camp, never stay at a hotel. So stamp sets like "Happy Camper" from Jane's Doodles always speak to my inner child.

To create this card I first stamped the little stars on my cardstock panel and heat embossed them in Wow! Coconut embossing powder. Then I inked the sky to look like a dark night in the wilderness using Distress inks in Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord, and Tumbled Glass. I used a Lawn Fawn die for the grass and colored with Distress Inks Shabby Shutters and Crushed Olive.

The images were all colored with Copic markers and fussy cut with my detail scissors. I popped the camper up with foam adhesive to help it stand out. Lastly, the darling sentiment and arrows were stamped to the bottom of the card.

Thanks for stopping in! Happy camping!

Do you send happy mail? I have so many cards sitting in a well-organized box but have such a hard time actually putting them in the mail! This sweet card is the perfect piece of happy mail to send for any occasion...

The Happy Mail Critters set from Time for Tea Designs is perfect for creating simple cards for friends. I colored the darling images with Copic markers and stamped the sentiment with Prism Ink in French Navy. The animals in this set are so cute and the additional images make creating scenes super easy. This little raccoon seems so delighted to receive some letters from his birdie friend!

Flower ATC Trio + Video

2022-01-15T00:01:00.009-05:00

Hello everyone and happy weekend! I'm over on the Topflight Stamps blog today to share some colorful ATCs I created featuring beautiful stamps from Ha-Pi Little Fox. I also have a quick video showing you how they all came together.

I created all three ATCs at the same using almost all the same products. This makes the creations very quick to make with beautiful results! I started by painting each ATC with some Paper Artsy Fresco paints. The colors I used are Amethyst, White Fire, Bougainvillea, Caribbean Sea, and Limelight.

I then used the Honeycomb stencil by Darkroom Door with black paint to add a bold contrast to the fun bright colors. I added some small dots with the Paper Artsy paint around the stencil. Then I stamped the beautiful Ha-Pi Little Fox "Secret Garden" flower stamps on each ATC using Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I also stamped each image again onto white cardstock and fussy cut the images. I only added the cut image using a Tiny Attacher stapler, so it appeared to have more dimension and pop up a little.

Finally, I added a small encouraging sentiment sticker to each ATC and did some paint splatter on top.

Thanks for joining me! Please enjoy the quick process video here!

To My Prince Charming mixed media tag + Video

2022-01-10T00:00:00.003-05:00

Are you ready to meet your prince charming? :) Today I'm sharing a mixed media Valentine's Day tag using products from Topflight Stamps. I also have a bonus companion card to share AND a process video.

The frog is from a fun stamp set by Hobby Art Ltd. called "Limited Edition". I colored him with Neocolor II Crayons on Strathmore watercolor paper. The background was created with the Heffy Doodle Confetti Hearts stencil that I used with Structure Paste and Wow! Embossing Glitter.

Check out the video here!

I fell in love with this frog so much that I also created a card to go along with the tag.

I used very similar products on the card as I did with the tag. The card uses a few extra accessory stamps from the same "Limited Edition" stamp set, like accenting the edges with the stamped arrows. For the card, the frog is colored with Copic markers.

Thanks for joining me today! Have you started your Valentine's Day cards yet?

Magical Birthday

2022-01-05T20:39:00.005-05:00

Sometimes a card just makes me so unbelievably happy that I decide it actually deserves a blog post (!!!) rather than just an instagram post. Bonus points because this happens to be for my husband who is celebrating his 35th birthday soon! This little dragon with his birthday accessories is really putting a smile on my face...

I started by creating a circle mask to use with the Simon Says Stamp Clouds for Days stencil. The clouds are shaded with a Taylored Expressions blender brush and Distress Ink Tumbled Glass. The dragon and balloons are colored with Copic markers and fussy cut with my favorite Cutter Bee detail scissors. The dragon is from the mini Lawn Fawn set "Winter Dragon" and the birthday accessories are from one of my first ever Lawn Fawn sets "Party Animal".

Copics used:

Dragon: BG11, BG34, BG23, BG49, BG09, YG05, YG07

Balloons and Accessories: Y06, Y08, Y19

To create the sentiment I actually combined words from 3 different Lawn Fawn sets! I love that they are so easy to mix and match for a seamless creation. I used "Year Seven", "Butterfly Kisses" and "Winter Dragon" to put the sentiment together. Have a MAGICAL birthday!

I'm entering this card into the Lawnfawnatics Let's Celebrate challenge.

Supplies Used:

Lawn Fawn stamps: Winter Dragon, Party Animal, Year Seven, Butterfly Kisses

2022-01-03T00:01:00.001-05:00

Happy New Year! I'm excited to share that I have joined the Topflight Stamps design team for 2022! I have two new cards to share with some cute and new-to-me stamp sets from Time for Tea Designs.

I have quickly fallen in love with the adorable images from Time for Tea Designs and the sets are so easy to mix and match with one another. I used the Time for Tea stamp sets "Car Critters" and "Grateful for You Background" to put together this scene. This little llama looks so smitten to be driving around the glittered Andes mountains with his winter scarf!

The images were colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut with my favorite Cutter Bee detail scissors. The llama is popped up on Scotch foam tape to make sure he's the star of the card. The "Hey!" sentiment is stamped with Prism Ink in Blackcurrant Jam and I inked the banner border with Arctic Mist.

I had so much fun playing with the images in the Car Critters stamp set that I threw together another bonus card...

This darling little panda is clearly living her best life in her hot pink convertible. She's going on a shopping spree for sure :) I lightly inked the scene with Prism Ink "Rainforest Green" for the grass and Prism Ink "Arctic Mist" for the sky. I used Prism Ink "Slate Grey" for the sweet sentiment, which is perfect for a graduation or new beginnings card.

Thanks for popping in and I wish you all a healthy 2022 year ahead!

Dearly Departed Halloween tag + Video

2021-09-12T21:35:00.000-04:00

As they say in the Haunted Mansion:

In sickness and in… wealth. You may now kiss the bride. We’ll live happily ever after. Till death do us part. Here comes the bride. As long as we both shall live. For better or for… worse. I do. I did.

I really enjoyed creating this Halloween tag with some brand new Tim Holtz products mixed in with some old goodies in my stash and even fun seasonal bits from the dollar store.

Doesn't the couple just look hauntingly beautiful for their wedding day?

I have a video (it's been a while!) showing you the full process of how this tag came together. All of the supplies I used are listed at the end of this post. Thanks for watching!

Dreadfully Wicked Halloween Box

2021-08-31T16:40:00.001-04:00

Welcome back, everyone! I'm back just in time to share a new Halloween creation. Halloween is always my favorite holiday for making dimensional projects. Available supplies that I've used are linked at the end of the post.

I started this project with a little wooden chest from Joann's by the company Park Lane. I first coated the box with some chunky layers of Resin Sand by Liquitex. This gives the box that old grimy graveyard feel. Once dried, I spritzed all over with the new Distress Mica Spray in "Empty Tomb" and "Crooked Broomstick". Now it's time to add all the bits!

I just bought this darling new Stamper's Anonymous Pumpkinhead stamp set, so I knew I wanted to incorporate them somehow! I heat embossed the pumpkins on Strathmore Mixed Media paper using black embossing powder (the powder I used isn't sold anymore! any black embossing powder will do). I then sprayed them with Distress Mica Spray in "Jack O Lantern" and "Flickering Candle" and fussy cut the images with my Cutter Bee scissors. I also sprayed a decorative flower with the same Mica Sprays.

Next I colored a lot of bits in this green alcohol ink. I colored the Salvaged Doll, skull medallion, plastic clear beads, an Industrial Sticker, and the 'dreadfully wicked' baseboard all using the same color.

I used orange alcohol ink to color the Corked Vial and the poison baseboard piece. The mini tree was sprayed with Distress Black Soot stain and I sprinkled orange glitter on top. Now it was time to get out the hot glue gun and start assembling!

Thanks for coming back! Happy creating!

Be YOU - Mixed Media Card and Video

2020-09-09T09:00:00.015-04:00

I'm excited to share a card today that's a bit outside of my usual card-making comfort zone. Today I created a very mixed media inspired card. I took my usual techniques that I incorporate into an art journal page but translated it onto a slimline card (also a new shape for me!).

The challenge for the next two weeks the Stampotique Originals Facebook Page is GIRLS! So pull out your funky girl stamps and create anything you want. Enter your project to the challenge album on facebook and you have a chance to win a $30 gift card to the Stampotique store!

For my card I used the very cool "Algae" girl stamp and colored her with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I paired her with a great "be you" chipboard shape from Dina Wakley. She definitely looks like a girl who doesn't care what others think!

For details on how I created the background, please watch the process video here! Enjoy!

September Stampotique New Releases!

2020-09-01T11:00:00.002-04:00

Happy September! So many wonderful things happen this month like my birthday (!), beginning of autumn, and today we have new releases from Stampotique!

The card above features the new stamp "Pot Garden" #13067 which I colored with Copic markers and fussy cut to place on the card. I did some very simple mixed media for the background here. I used the Rays stencil from Tim Holtz with some Liquitex Modeling Paste that I tinted with Wild Honey Distress Paint. The pink splatters are from Dina Wakley Gloss Spray "Magenta".

I had fun with this art journal page, especially the background! I focused on texture on the background which I covered with a white wash and then painted with blue hues of Arteza Metallic Acrylic Paints. I used the Stampotique "Tomas" #6280 which I also painted with Arteza paints. The fun phrase is the new Stampotique "Snarky Quotes" #13068.

I had fun with this tag, because I just love the new "Me and You Soup" #6277 stamp so much! This tag also uses the Tim Holtz Rays stencil and the background is colored with Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays in Cheddar and White. I colored the silly stamp with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and fussy cut him to add to the tag. The fun quote is also from the new Stampotique "Snarky Quotes" #13068 set.

Happy September everyone!!

3 ATCs + Video with Stampotique

2020-08-26T09:00:00.095-04:00

Welcome back to a new Stampotique Originals challenge! The current challenge over at the group facebook page is PETS! This is something I can get behind :)

I used a favorite of my older Stampotique stamps that's called "Smitten Moustache Monsters". Even though I've owned it for a while I've never inked it up, so this Pets challenge was perfect.

As you can see, the ATCs go together and use almost all of the same supplies. Each of the monsters are colored using the same colored pencils as well (I used Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils).

I used text from an old Brownie scouts book from the 1950's for the base of the background. The main paint colors are Dina Wakley's "Marine", "Turquoise", and Paper Artsy's "Bougainvillea." The metal accents were painted with Distress Paint "Cracked Pistachio."

I have a process video for you to see them all come to life! Enjoy!

George's Birthday Tag using Batboy + Video

2020-08-12T08:00:00.001-04:00

Welcome Back to another Stampotique challenge! The challenge for the next two weeks is to use black and white people stamps... this means you don't color them in. I cheated a little bit and colored in Batboy's hat, but that's it I promise!

As always, you can join the Stanpotique Originals challenges over at their facebook page.

I created this tag for George's 3rd birthday, which is why I added the big number 3 and Batboy was the perfect birthday boy addition. I had fun making the messy background. You can see how I did it all in my youtube process video. Thank you for watching!

Stampotique Challenge 354 - Circles

2020-07-29T09:00:00.001-04:00

The newest Stampotique designer's challenge is CIRCLES. Create a project using circles or in the shape of a circle. Participate in challenge #SDC354 over at their facebook page!

I created this circle themed underwater tag using Stampotique Mini Sealife Cube stamps. I used a variety of stencils with circles to create the background. Then I traced three large circles and painted over the rest of the background.

The stamps were colored in with NeoColor II crayons and fussy cut to place in the large circle windows.

That creepy octopus is my favorite! I also created a process video that you can watch here. Enjoy!

Stampotique Challenge - Use a Stencil + Video

2020-07-15T09:00:00.000-04:00

Welcome back to another Stampotique Originals challenge. This time the challenge is... Use a stencil! I actually used just one stencil in a few different ways, but of course you can use as many as you'd like. If you don't own a stencil... make your own!

Here is the ATC I created using the adorable new Beertie stamp...

I used this adorable new stamp called Beertie (#5866), isn't he the cutest?! I colored him with Neocolor II Crayons and Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks. The background uses a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop called Hexagons. First I inked through the medium hexagons, then I heat embossed in gold the smallest hexagons, and then I cut one large hexagon to mount the bee.

I also put together a video of my process. You can watch it here! Enjoy!

New Year New Art Journal Page

2020-01-05T17:28:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year! I've decided to kick off the new year with a very quick art journal page using my favorite (bright) color combinations. The entire page took 25 minutes, which includes in-between drying time.

I found a blank canvas page in my Dina Wakley Media Journal, gesso'd it, and got painty!

I started with Dina Wakley Media acrylic paints in the colors Blushing, Turquoise, Lemon, and Lapis. I applied the paints dry (without water on my brush) so I got the messy brushstroke look and also overlapped some of the colors without them mixing too much.

Once the acrylic paint was dried, I added small marks with my Liquitex Paint Markers in Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow, and Fluorescent Blue. I also added small streaks of gold with my Kuretake Starry Colors watercolor palette.

World Card Making Day 2019

2019-10-06T21:12:00.001-04:00

Happy World Card Marking Day 2019! Here is a round-up of the cards I made to celebrate the creative day...

I created this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Think Pink. I heat embossed the floral image (SSS Sketched Flowers) in black onto watercolor paper. I then painted the image using a variety of Distress Inks in shades of pinks and reds. I also used my Peerless Watercolors for the brighter pinks and greens. Next I chopped the image in half and stamped the sentiment in the middle (SSS Stained Glass Love).

Supplies for this card:

SSS Stained Glass Love

SSS Sketched Flowers

Strathmore Watercolor Paper

Hero Arts Black Sparkle Embossing Powder

Heat Gun

Water Brush

Distress Inks: Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral, Tumbled Glass

Peerless Watercolors

Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Clear

Versafine Onyx Black ink pad

Versamark Watermark ink pad

I created this thank you card for the Scrapbook and Cards Today Rainbow challenge. First I die cut the 'thanks' from white card stock, then neatly arranged all of the letters lined up perfectly using my MISTI tool. Using the MISTI allowed me to double/triple stamp the letters so I got the bold color I wanted. Next I cut strips of white papers and colored the strips with the same ink pad I used to stamp the letters. This keeps consistency in colors and is also much quicker than coloring with markers!

Supplies for Rainbow Thanks card:

Concord and 9th "Big Thanks Stamp"

Concord and 9th "Big Thanks Die"

MISTI Stamping Tool

Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting Machine

Hero Arts Inks: Pale Tomato, Orange Soda, Butter Bar, Lime Green, Mint Julep

Simon Says Stamp Inks: Audrey Blue, Hot Mama

Black Cardstock

White Cardstock - Neenah Solar White

This Christmas card came together in 15 minutes! I am entering it in a few challenges: Simon Says Stamp IG Challenge: Favorite Technique, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Christmas, and Scrapbook and Cards Today: Clean and Simple Challenge.

I haven't made a clean and simple card in way too long, and it used to be my go-to card making style. First I die cut the postage stamp square to give my images a base. Then I heat embossed 'o Christmas tree' in gold embossing powder. Next, I stamped the three trees using a mix of colored ink pads. Done!

Supplies for O Christmas Tree:

Concord and 9th "O Christmas Tree"

Neenah Solar White Cardstock

My Favorite Things Stitched Pinking Edge Square

Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder

Versamark Watermark ink pad

Heat Gun

Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine

Hero Arts Ink: Green Hills, Field Greens, Charcoal, Lime Green, Butter Bar

Finally, I have a winter card using some sweet stamps by Unity Stamp Co. I've had these stamps for months and just finally got around to inking them up. The main images are colored with a variety of Copic Markers, then I fussy-cut the boy and girl to add to a tag. Since all of the detail is in the images, I kept the rest of the card very simple.

Supplies for Merry and Bright:

Unity Stamp Co "Winter Boy and Girl"

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Neenah Solar White Cardstock

Distress Ink Tumbled Glass

MISTI Stamping Tool

Cutter Bee Detail Scissors

Wink of Stella glitter pen Clear

Copic Markers (I've clustered the families of Copics used):

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you had a creative World Card Making Day weekend as well!
