Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Cocktail Add-on Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

https://youtu.be/-D6hqfXTcdY

Today we will be creating another fun tropical drink card using the Lawn Fawn Build-a-drink Cocktail Add-on set! This set compliments the original Lawn Fawn Build-a-drink set and includes a fun shaped glass as well as fruit, foliage, cherry and pick!

If you would like to check out the first video where we created a fun shaker card and I will link that here:

To set the scene for today’s card we will be using the Lawn Fawn Beach Sunset Stencil Set! This stencil set will allow us to create the most beautiful beach scene complete with the ocean, sky, sun and sand!!! It also includes the ability to create some palm trees…which we will not be using today…but would be perfect for your tropical scenes.

Let’s begin with the background using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pads. For the water we will use Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, and Villainous Potion. Be sure to take your time blending these colors for the best results. Next, for the sun let’s grab the Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries and Squeezed Lemonade. And the sand will be done using the Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs and Ground Espresso. The liquid in the drink will be created using the Squeezed Lemonade and Twisted Citron. I’ll show you some easy tricks and tips in the video for using your stencil to get the best results!

We will do a bit of spattering to add some interest to the sea and sand.

Let’s add a lime, cherry and foliage for color, interest and dimension. We will also grab a starfish, sand dollar and clam shell from the Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set.

Next we can add the “Let’s Celebrate” sentiment using the Lawn Fawn Elephant Parade Add-on stamp set. I’ll show you and easy technique for stamping this in an arched shape on your card.

Finally let’s do a quick assembly of all of our pieces and sit back and dream of summer!!!

Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Shaker Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

If you are like me you don’t want to see summer end just yet…so I thought it would be fun to create a colorful tropical card using some fantastic products from the Lawn Fawn collection! Please note that there will be another card coming soon using the Lawn Fawn Build-a-drink Cocktail Add-on Set. In that video we will also be using the Lawn Fawn Beach Sunset Stencils to create a beautiful background!

The pretty drink for today’s card will be created using the Lawn Fawn Build-a-drink Die Set. This set includes all of the dies needed to create a variety of elements for the drink including the glass, straw, umbrella, fruit and foliage! I will show you exactly how to easily create the shaker element and we will use Buttons Galore & More Sprinkletz Embellishments Fruit Cocktail set to fill the shaker.

For the liquid in our drink we will be brayering using the Hero Arts Neon (Red to Purple) Ink Pad. I will give you some tricks and tips for brayering a smooth background without the lines that you can sometimes get. We can also use the leftover brayered paper to die cut some of the flowers that we can add back onto the frame.

The glass will be created using the Lawn Fawn Holographic Cardstock which is just so sparkly and fun!

We can also die cut the straw using the Lawn Fawn Stripes n’ Sprinkles Petite Paper Pack in the pretty yellow and white stripe!

To set the scene for our drink we can ink up a card panel using the Hero Arts Neon Ombre’ Ink Pad (Chartruese to Blue). Now we can die cut the Lawn Fawn Secret Garden Window from this inked panel. Let’s also ink up another panel with this same ink pad to die cut some foliage to decorate the card.

To create the overlay for this gorgeous frame we can use that same paper pad in the sprinkles yellow paper. We will also use our Hero Arts Blending Brush and Lemon Drops Ink Pad to add a bit of color around the edges of this panel.

For our sentiment we will use the Lawn Fawn S’more the Merrier Stamp Set and it will say “let’s TOAST to your birthday”.

Let’s quickly assemble the card and add those pretty flowers to the frame and a some beautiful foliage at the base of the glass for a beautiful tropical look!

Finally let’s add a few sparkly gems from the Pinkfresh Studio Ombre’ Drops in Twighlight!

Spinner Card – There’s GNOME one like you!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

https://youtu.be/T5lJTwlxYPk

Today we will be creating one of my favorite card designs which is the super fun spinner style card! You just wind up the spinning element and then place the card in the envelope and when the recipient opens the card the cute little gnome will spin around!!! The cute front and back gnome images will come from the brand new Ai Gnomes Set (5785). This set includes this larger front and back image as well as several smaller gnomes that are simply adorable!

Let’s first create the card base using some Kraft cardstock. This square card will measure 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. Next we can cut a layer of Dark Brown cardstock and the third layer will be a pretty patterned paper from the brand new Ai Gnomes Paper Pack (5832).

We will be die cutting the square openings for the card using the Ai Nested Square Dies (5725). In this video I will give you some tips and tricks for die cutting these square openings in all of the layers so that everything lines up perfectly!

So I thought it would be fun to use the Gnomes Paper Pack to do some paper piecing on our little gnome. We will stamp the image onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock…this will be the base of our gnome and then we will stamp the image a few more times onto the patterned papers that will become the hat, outfit, shoes and hands.

Next we can fussy cut these pieces and then glue them to the base image. That will just leave us to color the beard and nose and to do this we will use the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Gray Tint, and Blush.

Now we can assemble the spinner mechanism and I will give you very detailed instructions for doing this in the video. It’s super easy and fun to do!!!

For a few finishing touches let’s add some twine and a few sparkly red hearts!

I will be using the smaller gnomes in a cute card which will be coming out in the near future….so if you love these little gnomes you may want to keep and eye out for that card!

Clean & Simple Vellum Overlay Cards using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 3 of 3)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today is Part 3 of our Scenic Foundations series and we will be creating a set of note cards by stenciling a pretty sunburst background with a vellum overlay by using the remaining four sets from the Summer of 2023 release (SF Wooden Cabin, SF Stone Bridge, SF Cottage Creek, SF Picket Fence)! These are clean and simple cards that are very easy to mass produce!

In Part 1, we used the SF Beach Cabin Set (5749) to create a beautiful background using some masking tape and the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. This is a simple and easy way to set the scene for our Scenic Foundations stamps.

Masking An Easy Background using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 1 OF 3)

In Part 2, we will be creating a mixed media tag card using the SF Village Set (5746) and a water coloring technique using the Tim Holtz Mini Ink Pads.

Mixed Media Tag Card using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 2 OF 3)

We will be using all of the Scenic Foundations in the three part series…so for a 15% savings you may be interested in the entire collection bundle deal listed and linked here:

5796 – 6pc Scenic Foundations Bundle – https://shrsl.com/45ia8

To set the scene for today’s cards we will be using the Lawn Fawn Sunray Background Stencil on each of the cards using some the Hero Arts Reactive Ink Pads in Fruit Punch, Lemon Drops, and Creamsicle and the Hero Arts Blending Brushes.

Next we can die cut a rectangular frame for each of the cards using the Ai Nested Rectangle Dies (5724). We will place one smaller rectangle inside the larger one to create the frames. We will use the larger rectangle die to cut the vellum paper that we will then place behind each of the frames!

Let’s go ahead and stamp each of our four Scenic Foundations stamps onto the vellum rectangles using the Staz-on Jet Black Ink Pad.

Now we can attach the vellum to the frames and pop these up using some foam strips. Now when you look through the vellum you will see a softer version of the sunray background and around the edges you will see the more vibrant pattern. I just love how this looks!

Using the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735) or the Ai Friend Sentiments Set (5734) we can add a simple sentiment to each of the note cards using the Ai Journal Template Dies (5543) banner die.

As a finishing touch let’s add some Ombre’ Glitter Drops from the Pinkfresh Studio Sparkle and Shine collection!

If you are giving these as a gift you can add some envelopes, maybe a pretty pen, and some postage stamps to complete the gift!

Sizzix “You are so cool” Card (using the Crazy Characters #2 Set)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a super fun summer card to show you today! This sweet Popsicle card will be created using the Sizzix Thinlits w/ Stamps – Crazy Characters #2 Set. This cute set includes the popsicle, a volcano, and a beautiful sun!

Let’s start by inking up some cardstock for our Popsicle colors using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pads in Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina, Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo. For the Popsicle stick we will be using Antique Linen.

What makes this die set so easy to use is that it cuts out the base of the Popsicle as well as the layers and sprinkles (aka shots!).

We will die cut the layers from all of the pretty pastel papers that we colored and then mix and match them for the little Popsicles. If you want to create the look of a little bite being taken from one of the Popsicles you can go ahead and do this now using a scalloped circle die from the Sizzix Framelits w/ Stamps – Circle Sentiments Set.

Next we can add the sprinkles and then add some clear glaze over the top to give them the look of being frozen. While the glaze is still wet we can add a bit of glitter for some added interest!

For the base of the card we will die cut two stitched panels from the Lawn Fawn Slimline Stackables Dies. The largest one will get colored using the same 4 pastel colors we used previously and then with the smaller panel we will emboss this using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impresssions – Tropical Leaves embossing folder.

On this embossed panel we will be adding some baker’s twine in those same pastel colors and tying a knot on the front of the panel.

For the larger panel we can add a sentiment from this same stamp set that says “You are so” and next we can die cut the work “cool” from the Sizzix Thinlits – Essential Type alphabet set. We can add some of that same glaze to the letters to give them the same glossy shine as the Popsicles!

Let’s assemble our fun summery card! This card can be used for so many occasions including birthday, hello, and thinking of you cards!

I Hope are all having a great summer filled with family, friends and good times!!!

Masking An Easy Background using the Ai Scenic Foundations (PART 1 OF 3)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I am starting a three part series using the wonderful Ai Scenic Foundations stamp sets….but we are going to be doing them in a completely different way! I want to show you how to change up the way that you use your images or the way the were intended to be used! Also, if you are a bit intimidated by the watercolor stamping techniques this three part series will give you some fun alternatives!

Today, in Part 1, we will be using the SF Beach Cabin Set (5749) to create a beautiful background using some simple masking techniques and the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. This is a simple and easy way to set the scene for our Scenic Foundations stamps.

In Part 2, we will be creating a mixed media tag card using the SF Village Set (5746) and a water coloring technique using the Tim Holtz Mini Ink Pads.

And in Part 3, we will be creating a set of note cards by stenciling a pretty sunburst background with a vellum overlay by using the remaining four sets from the Summer of 2023 release!

We will be using all of the Scenic Foundations in the three part series…so for a 15% savings you may be interested in the entire collection bundle deal listed and linked here:

5796 – 6pc Scenic Foundations Bundle – https://shrsl.com/45ia8

Let’s first stamp the image onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock in a light gray ink. This light inking will allow us to determine where to place our masking tape and where to apply ink for the sky, beach and water. Next we can mask off sections of the card panel and ink one section at a time.

Now we can stamp the images onto some pretty patterned paper from the Ai Easter Paper Pack to create our cabin, beach umbrella, hat and sailboats! We will do some fussy cutting and then we can attach these to some white cardstock.

Once these items are assembled, we can attach the items onto the background using the original stamping to line up the images.

Now we can take the pretty scallop die from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543) and die cut the scene and a white scallop panel as well. We can glue these two together by offsetting them a bit to create a white edge on the top and left side.

Next we can use the Sizzix 3-D Embossing Folder – Tropical Leaves to add some dimension to the card panel. Let’s also ink this up with the Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers ink. This will highlight the details of the embossing!

We can now wrap some pretty violet/white twine around the card panel and tie a bow!

Let’s assemble the card and add a few pretty gems to tie everything together!

Pretty As A Picture! (Creating A Polaroid Style Card)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s card was inspired by the current Art Impressions Blog Challenge called “V is for Vacation”. This challenge is to create any summer related card or project which can include beaches, travel, picnics or anything else that makes you think of summer!

I thought it would be fun to create this “pretty as a picture” card with a beach theme since my absolute happy place is the beach. Although, I have to admit that I love the beach anytime of the year! It is especially pretty after the first snowfall of the winter season! But let’s not think about winter yet!!!

I would like to start by saying that I know that Nina, who is a fellow Design Team Member, is currently doing a beautiful series using this Polaroid theme and I did not know that at the time I created this card and video. Sometimes this can happen….so I really recommend that you check out what she has been doing….she is amazing and I know you will love her new series! Hopefully this card will just add to the fun and inspiration!

Our focal image will be from the Ai Sailboat Window Set (5448). This is a beautiful summer scene!

For the coloring today we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Lt Violet, Yellow, Haze Blue, Lt Blue, Cobalt Blue, Turquoise Green, May Green, Green, Lt Gray, Green Gray, Beige, Mid Brown. Once the coloring is complete we can cut and assemble our little polaroid.

Now let’s create the pretty background using the sea shells from the Ai Gull-Friends Set (5399). We will be stamping a variety of shells using the Staz-on Snowflake Ink Pad onto some Scrapbook.com Warms Smooth Cardstock.

Next we can add some sparkle and shine using the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. To do this we will place some of the ink onto our glass media mat and spritz it with a bit of water and use a small paint brush to spatter the entire panel. You really have to see this in person to see how beautiful it looks! We will also spatter this same panel with the Bleed Proof White Ink for added interest.

We can add a nice mauve colored velvet ribbon using the Tim Holtz Velvet Trims. After we add the ribbon we can pop-up this panel onto our card base. This card base is created using the Scrapbook.com Warms Smooth Cardstock.

Let’s add the “Seas the Day” sentiment using that same Ai Gull-Friends Set (5399).

Finally, we can add some pretty pink sequins from the Picket Fence Studios “all about the pinks” Sequin Mix.

This card design is so easy and fun and can be used with any of your Ai Shadowbox Window Stamp Sets….and there are so many of these to chose from…it will be difficult to decide which ones to use!

Shaker Card w/ Cozy Cat Cubbies!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a super fun shaker card to show you today! We will be using the adorable Ai Cozy Cat Cubbies Set (5098). This set has a fun cat tree/condo scratching post and several little cats, a ball of yarn, and several coordinating sentiments!

To get started let’s grab some pretty blue patterned paper and die cut the front panel for the shaker card. We will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063) and Ai Oval Double Stitched Dies (5065). This will give us a pretty stitched border around the rectangle and the oval.

Next we can stamp and color all of the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Pale Rose, Haze Blue, Smoky Olive, Plum Gray, Mustard, Lt Brown, Beige, Sand, Lt Gray, Platinum Brown, Cool Gray 6, Mid Brown, Smoky Teal. (Note: Stamp plenty of balls of yarn and color them in a variety of colors!)

Since this set does include all of the coordinating dies so we can go ahead and die cut everything!

Let’s assemble the shaker element for the card and add some chunky glitter and a bunch of the little balls of yarn! I’ll give you some tips and tricks for assembling the shaker element of the card in today’s video!

Next, we can stamp the sentiment for the card using the same set and it says “sending warm fuzzy felines”! We can die cut a small banner for the sentiment using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). Let’s pop this up for a bit of added dimension!

Finally, we can add a few pretty light blue heart gems!

This is just so cute and fun when you shake those little balls of yarn and that pretty glitter!

If you really love the “cubbies” images you may want to check out another video that I recently released: Birdhouse Cubbies Slimline Card – Adding Dimension without Pop-Dots, Gems or Bows!!!

Birdhouse Cubbies Slimline Card – Adding Dimension without Pop-Dots, Gems or Bows!!!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today’s was inspired by the current Ai Blog Challenge and that was to create a birthday card to celebrate Bonnie’s birthday! Please feel free to join us in this blog challenge by posting your card or project that has a birthday theme….any birthday theme will do! I’m sure Bonnie would love to see what you create to celebrate her special day!

Today we will be creating a fun slimline card using the Ai Birdhouse Cubbies Set (5346). This adorable set includes a beautiful birdhouse, birds, flowers, a vine and several fun sentiments! An added bonus is that this set does include the dies! You will love how the birdhouse die cuts out the window openings and the doors on the birdhouse which make this image very interactive!

For this card I decided to add an additional challenge for myself which was to create a one layer card that would have lots and lots of texture, dimension and interest without adding any ribbons, bows, gems or pop-dots! I will give you some tips and tricks for doing this in today’s video.

Let’s get started by stamping and coloring all of our images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Pale Orange, Yellow, Orange, Scarlet Red, Mid Green, Dark Green, Aquamarine Blue, Smoky Teal, Beige, Gray Brown, Mid Brown, Lt Gray. Once the coloring is complete we can die cut all of the images.

Next let’s create a frame for the decorated card panel to sit inside by using the Ai Slimline Dies Set (5463). To set the scene for this card panel we will add some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Speckled Egg and then we will spatter the panel with the same ink and also some teal colored metallic watercolor paint!

Going back to the same stamp set we will stamp our cute sentiment on the front of the card and this says “A little birdie told me it was your birthday”. This set has several cute coordinating sentiments!

Let’s cut off the post on the birdhouse so that it looks like it is hanging from a tree branch. We will use a black permanent marker to create the ribbon for the birdhouse and then draw on a cute little bow. Now we can add all of our little birds, flowers and vines….again gluing everything flat….but you could certainly pop some items up if you wish!

So hopefully you can see how easy it is to add lots of interest and dimension to your cards by using a variety of fun and creative techniques!

Please join me in wishing Bonnie a blessed and beautiful birthday!!!

Birthday Blessings Card w/ Stenciled Background

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using one of the wonderful FREEBIE stamps which can be obtained for free with a $30 purchase from Art Impressions. There a several FREEBIE’S available including the Robin that we will be using today, as well as, a Chickadee, the Stellar Jay, a Cockatiel, a sweet Puffin, and a pretty Hummingbird!

To get started we will be using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies and the Ai Oval Double Stitched Dies to die cut the rectangular panel for the front of the card and to die cut an oval from the center.

To set the scene, we can use a beautiful leave stencil to create a background. We will ink this up using a small 1/4″ blending brush so that we can add some shadows to the leaves. This will give our stenciling a lot more dimension and interest!

Now we can select some pretty yellow/gold paper from the Echo Park paper pack for the opening in the oval. We will ink this up around the edges of the oval using a coordinating ink.

Let’s stamp our little robin and color it in using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Yellow, Orange, Lt Gray, Platinum Brown.

We can use our detail scissors to cut this out, leaving a little white border all the way around.

Next, we can die cut a lattice border (Ai Pocket Set) and some leaves/sprigs (Ai Journal Rectangle Frames), and a pretty flower (Ai Journal Oval Frames).

We can give the leaves and flowers a bit of dimension using our sculpting tools.

Before we complete the assembly we can add a few sentiments from the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set. This will say “Birthday Blessings” and “May your every wish come true!”.

Let’s assemble the card and add a few iridescent stars to the oval area and a pretty gem to the center of the flower!
