Special Delivery

Today’s card features Lawn Fawn’s Special Delivery Stamp set and Magic Iris Birdhouse Add-on. I used the Large Slimline set but extended it so the length of the owl and box of bird plus the bird house would look portional. The bird house needed to be anchored and not floating in the school so I took the liberty and added grass and mushrooms.

The birdhouse itself is embossed with Hero Arts Gratitude Background. The focus the owl so the birdhouse did not need to be a distraction, yet the added background gave the birdhouse texture.

The card is for a really special person who just had their first child. We are sending this person lots of love. The hearts are from Simon Says Stamp Heart Breeze die cut. Using Wink of Stella, to add sparkle to each of the hearts. In addition, to add shine I used Glossy Accents on each of the hearts.

Let it Snow- a shaker card and a twirly card- all in one card

Lawn Fawn’s color inspiration challenge as been on my mind and I keep thinking how can I meet this challenge. The design team from Lawn Fawn have chosen a set of colors and your challenge is to use those colors in a card. As I was going through my stamp sets from Lawn Fawn and the Beary Happy Holidays stood out because the bear is iceskating.

The bear figure illustrated on the front and the back which lends itself to a ‘twirly’ card. I used white thread and taped it to the front side of the bear. After glueing the back, I used medical take to secure the thread to the card. The card can sit by itself.

I used small blue balls in the window to make it look like water. They are from a company called Queen & Co. Link is included to make it easier to find. Thats it- I enjoyed making cards as well as painting.

Joyful Wishes

Wishing you a joyful holiday, wherever you are.

After five years of following the stamp industry you accumulate a lot of rubber stamps. This card features several rubber stamp sets from the same company, Lawn Fawn. I try to group the stamps from the same company because its easier to follow in case you might want to reproduce the card or do something similar. This is how I learned how to use alcohol markers, and card making techniques. I would purchase the same items that the artist was featuring and tried to reproduced the same card. I also took many online classes and watched YouTube videos. I feel compelled to list what I have used. Its almost like writing a school paper. Cite your sources! In case you are doing the same thing, trying to learn how to make a card, I have linked the items I could not find on Amazon. The link to Christmas Dreams stamp set by Lawn Fawn is linked here. The mountains and snow have dry glitter. I used multi medium matte to adhere Ranger’s Pour Style Antique Stickles dry clear glitter. You can find the dry glitter at Ranger’s website. I also linked it so it would be easier for you to find.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #84 “Back to School”

I have really enjoyed Lawn Fawn’s challenge #84, Back to School. My children have been so blessed to have teachers who care and are inspiring. When I was making the card, I could image their teachers online teaching.

The card was made with Neenah Solar White paper. The paper is thick, 100/297gm. While there are many different types of paper, I prefer Neenah Solar White paper for using Copic Makers because the paper has a smooth finish, it displays Copic Makers brilliant colors. Furthermore , the paper lets me blend Copic Makers easily. Copic Markers are double-sided, alcohol-based ink, with low-order and best part is that they are non-toxic. I love, love , love my Copic Markers!!! I would buy two or three at time until I had more of the markers I needed. Side Note: Neenah Solar White paper and Copic Makers are on sale at Amazon.

If you are wondering where I got those cute acrylic hearts, they are from Honey Bee Stamp company. Just click on the words Honey Bee Stamp and it should take you to the company’s website. I can not leave this post without acknowledging the star glitter its from Martha Stewart. I have a ton of Martha Stewart glitter from Michaels Arts and Crafts. Just click on the words Michaels Arts and Crafts and it will take you to their website. The glitter is on sale!

Lawnfawnatics- Challenge 84 “Back to School”

I loved school and still do. I think part of that love was fostered by my teachers who cared and were kind to me. In addition, my teachers were supper supportive and inspired me to do my best. I gave my card a 80’s feel by coloring it in color pencils ( using Prismacolor Premier 150 count color pencils ) and kraft paper. The stamps sets are from Lawn Fawn: Wild for You and Science of Love. The cute letters are Lawn Fawn’s Quinn’s ABCs. You can see the border has sewing pattern because I used Lawn Fawn’s Large Slimline with Sliders however no sliders were used in the card, thats just the name of the die cut. Lastly, to get the heart that glossy look I used Ranger’s Glossy Accents.
