@lawnfawnatics interactive challenge

I’ve love lawn fawn ever since the start of my crafting journey but I haven’t really known how to build scenes using them. Never the less I absolutely love their interactive dies, it makes it so easy to make fun interactive cards.

For this card I tweaked it to have the photobomber isn’t he cute?

I used big thanks for hero arts, elphie selfie, mermaids for you, slow down and enjoy & I love you(calyputus) for the dies I used the magic iris, stitched mountain border dies & the stitched garden dies.

Thanks for stopping by to read my blog hope you have a great day. 😘😘😘

If you have just arrived from Adelle’s website, thank you so much for dropping by and playing along with us.

To create this card I did some quick coloring using the new Holiday Signs stampset and then die cut using the coordinating dies. For the back ground I stamped the snow strip from winter borders with versamark on craft cardstock and then colored using polychromos.

For the shaker tag I used the decorative tag dies. While I was stamping the winter borders with my misti I also stamped an extra white cardstock with versamark and gold heat embossed.

Using spare stock card I die cut 4 extra decorative tag frames to layer and 1 craft vardstock frame. Using just the backing die cut 1 acetate window, and 1 white backing of the decorative tag.

To assemble the tag I layered the backing then the gold stamped snowflake. Next come the 4 decorative tag frames, I filled with the Winter Days confetti and micro bead balls. To seal with the acetate window and finally framed with the craft cardstock. To add the finishing touches I adhered the teal ring and tied the ribbons.

The Holiday sign stampset is perfect for the holiday cards as it comes with matching sentiments to accompany the signs.

For this Card I did the same with the winter borders but using the garlands strip to stamp on craft cardstock and finished with one of the Holiday Signs Santa.

I couldn’t stop so had to make one using the penguin 😁

Next up on the hop is Suzy’s website please check her out as she is an amazing artist. Her coloring is astounding.

Bear in the Garden

I hope you guys have been doing well, I’ve been busy setting up some new projects for this month. I have exciting news closer to the 15th of October so keep an eye out and come back to check my website for more details regarding this.

I love creating this box because it combines my two favorite things; flowers and critters. Coloring the flowers was heaps of fun and quite relaxing. I used only the Copic R20 and flicked the brush tip from the centre of the flower outwards keeping in mind to leave white areas at the edge. I then used Polychromos 129 magenta to shade the centre, darken the shadows and the folds of the petals on the outer side. For the centre of the flowers I used 205 polychromos and colored the stamen with YG11 and 168 Polychromos for the stem of the stamen. The leaves I used YG11, and G24; I also used the 168 polychromos to fill in the shade.

As for the colors of the bear and log I use Copic E11, E35, E37, the mushroom is used R20,R22, R08 to shade from darkest to lightest.

To match the panels I created the pattern paper using versamark and craft paper to which I white heat embossed using the anemones stampset.

Finishing it off I die cut the hello friends dies 4 times using scrap paper to build layers and added a top layer using pearl paper. Then just to add some mute sparkle I used the marshmallow confetti from Pink Pretty Posh.

I absolutely love this box and such a huge fan of the new release, I hope you guys enjoy all these cute little critters. Have you checked out the new release? I’ve putten my orders in and cannot wait to play with them when they arrive. Just a quick disclosure all the links below isn’t affiliated just reference for you in case you want to purchase. I share what I love and enjoying doing so others can to. Also, have you seen the SimonSaysStamp Stamptember collab with Mama Elephant, it’s totally adorable.

Okay so let us dive in, I stamped out the Mama Elephant Little Penguin Agenda, colored and die cut the images with the creative cuts, coordinating dies. I have a tutorial of how I prep my stamps and can quickly mass-produce the stamped images for making large quantities of cards. I will share with you soon, video is in production at the moment keep an eye out for it. But let me tell you after knowing this, I am collecting the coordinating dies to my stamp sets because it is so worth it.Using the vertical card base I kept the gallery theme going as I wanted to run with it before it leaves my system.

After coloring and die cutting the stamp set I arrange the layout using gluetac before finalizing and glueing them on acetate strips.Finally I used the golden left over frames I had from the cards to frame the mini merry messages. Finishing off with extra sparkles.

Thanks for visiting and leaving comments, it means so much to me to be able to share with you my crafting therapy. 😁

Hope you have a great day.

Okay let’s dig in! I know you guys love my pop up boxes but firstly I wanted to share with you my card. I absolutely adore this card because it reminds me of the walls of art in the art gallery. These penguins deserve their own art gallery dont you think?

I don’t know about you but how satisfying is it to pop out die cuts like this. Just a little satisfying video I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.

I used a standard top fold card base 11″ x 4 1/4″, then scored in the middle at 5 1/2″. Using the antistactic powder to prep the craft cardstock and stamped the mama elephant little agenda frames with versamark ink. Using the gold wow embossing powder I poured and heat setted it with the heat tool. I used the creative cuts co-oordinating dies to die cut them out. After which I played with the arrangements and adhere with the ranger matte medium to the card base.

Wish Upon A Star – Mama Elephant

Okay this Stampset is much a Favourite for me. I don’t know bout you but the panels and dark skies making me go gaga!!! I ABSOLUTELY love the splatters of the gold water colors.

For me making the panels myself instead of using dsp (designer special paper) is more hard work but this box makes me so so happy. The extra effort is worth it. I hope it makes you happy too.

Lets jump in on how to make it, you start off with the box base, this I have decided to list in my menu to Diana @12bpanda’s website and youtube tutorial. She is so generous and awesome do check her out and show some love. Most of the time I will be using this box base.

I stamped the images out using Gina K. Almagma ink. I prefer this over the tuxedo black of momento because it is darker and gives me a crisper image. for the bunnies I used C0, C1, C3 for the shadow. I used the lightest colors first to keep the white parts white, which is mostly the mouth area and belly. I used R20 for the cheeks and ears.
