Lawn Fawn Cards

Hello again!

I felt I should get these up before I forget and you don't get a ton of posts all at once.  

Here is my Lawn Fawn cards.  I coloured them with copics and the card stock is from Michaels (Recollections 110# white card stock)  The sequins are from Simon Says Stamp and the thread was from Walmart.

Hope you enjoyed my cards and thanks for stoping by.

See you again soon!

Hero Arts

Hello everyone,

Today I have two crds that i made with the Hero Arts OWH Lil Hoot stamp set.  I used my copics to colour in the image, I used some water colours I got from Michaels for the background and a gel pen to do the lines around the focal point.  I used Momento tuxedo back ink for the sentiment.

For this card I used the same stamp set and copics to colour it in but I added some thread and clear sequins.  I used Momento rich cocoa ink for the sentiment.

All the supplies used are either purchased at Michaels or Simons Says Stamp (the thread was purchased at Walmart)

Thanks for stoping by!

See you soon with more cards.

C&S3 Day 9 & 10

Hello everyone,

For today's card it's showing more one layer techniques.

Here's the card I made.  I used Tim Holtz distress inks and I clear embossed only some of the colours to have it a bit different.  I also use America Craft ribbon to add some interest (actually it was to hide an inky incident!  ;).

HCW13 Day 2

Hello everyone,

It's day 2 of the Holiday Card Workshop 13 and I took inspiration from Debbie's card.  I received my SSS extra card hit for December (so excited!) and I used the snowflake die that came with that kit.

I used glitter on the blue snowflake, stickles on the other and liquid glass on the third.

I also used the stickles to line the white snowbank.  

I used the sentiment that came in the same kit and used Outdoor Denim ink from CTMH.

Thanks for stopping by!

See you soon.

More Christmas cards

Hi Everyone!

I have two more Christmas cards for you.   I am also submitting these for the Paper Smooches DT call.  

The first one is one that you could reproduce quite easily as it's mostly stamping and one die cut.

I used the SSS Merry Christmas die and the November CKOM stamp set that came with the kit.

I used Momento due drop ink in red and galaxy gold.

The Merry Christmas was cut out of red card stock from Recollections.

My next card is done with a Paper Smooches free digi stamp (so cute!) This is for the PS Sparks challenge "STRIPES" 

 I printed it out on some card stock and use copics to colour it in.  I

I used white pigment in from CTMH to stamp the sentiment from SSS as well as my while gel pen to make the dash lines.

I also use the Copic glitter pen in clear  and gold to colour in the ribbon on the golf boxes.

Thanks for stopping by!

SSS Wednesday Challenge "Anything Goes"

Hi everyone,

Here is the second card I made for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday "Anything Goes" Challenge.

I used the tree die and Thanks die from SSS and I distressed the edges of the white card stock.  This card is out of my comfort zone as I distressed the edges and used bakers twine.  I normally don't use either one on my cards but thought this would work for this one.

Hope you enjoyed my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

CASology card challenge. Week 68: BLACK

Hi everyone,

Today I did a card for the CASology challenge "Black"

I used the SSS "So stinkin' cute" stamp set and I heat embossed it in Hero Arts white embossing powder.  I dry embossed the card base with the Diving Swirls Cricut embossing folder.
(I apologize for the quality of the pictures. My daughter took the camera I normally use and I can now see the difference!)

This is just an extra card I thought I would do up.  It's Lawn Fawn "Critters in the forest" stamp set and the sentiment is from "Sunny Skies".  I used Recollections white card stock and Momento tuxedo black ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

Feel better cards

Hi everyone,

I made a couple of cards and thought I would share with you.

I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set "Our Friendship Grows" for the leaves and the sentiment.  I stamped them on various coloured paper.  

I used the sentiment from the same set and use CTMH cocoa ink.

OCC Insider D2

Hi,

It's day 2 and this class is really making me stretch my crafting abilities!

For today's card we were to show off the inside through the outside.  Acetate was used in some of the cards and others where super long cards which were all great.

Here is my card for today.  I have to say that I have a love/hate relationship with Tombow mono multi glue.  I love it but when we get together, it gets messy... and not in a good way.  So you may see a hint of glue in places that there shouldn't be but I really didn't want to do this card over again.

If you have a look at my cards then you will notice that I actually used twine on my card today.  This is a first.  I know, true story!  I used the SSS "Thanks" stamp and die set.  I die cut the thanks and stamped the "for thinking of me".

I used Recollections cards stock and I cut the whole out with my MS craft knife and the acetate is from a die set that I purchased and put them with the stamps instead of keeping them in their own packaging.

I felt the card needed something more on the front so I added the dash lines and kept that going into the inside of the card.

Hope you enjoyed today's card and stay tuned for another one tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn cards

Hi everyone!

I have to say that I am tickled with my Lawn Fawn order that I placed.  For one it came in just over a week (being in Canada it takes over 2 +) and they send with my order the cutes little stamp and thank you card and a few extra 6x6 pieces of paper!

Here are a few little cards I did with the sets that I ordered.  These are little 3x3 cards that I got out of the $1.50 bin at Michaels that I like to have on hand for those spur-of-the-moments that need a card

I used the Critters on the farm stamp set for the first two cards and I coloured them in with my copics.

For this card I used the "Our Friendship Grows" stamp set and again coloured it in with my copics.  

...and this is the result of thinking it needed just a little something and then it drops down onto my ink pad!! Grrrr!!!! 

Thanks for stopping by!
