HAPPY EASTER (14)

I created an Easter card, with the Chirpy Chirp Chirp stamp set and the Mushroom House die set. I used the no-line coloring technique for this and ink blended all the scene elements.

I started by die cutting all the elements for the Mushroom House and the scene. I ink blended everything with Distress Inks. Here is a list of all the Distress Inks I used:
Sky: Salty Ocean
Grass: Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover
Mushroom house: Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Ground Espresso, Vintage Photo, Wild Honey and Hickory Smoke
Flowers + mushrooms: Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, Antique Linen, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick and Wilted Violet.
Butterflies: Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers

I stamped the three chicks in Antique Linen Distress Ink and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers for coloring. Here are the colors I used:
Chicks: 052 - Bright Yellow + 050 - Yellow + 070 - Orange

I fussy cut the images and assembled everything. I stamped the sentiment in Hippo Ink. I also added some swirly lines for the flying butterflies, using Manatee Ink.

I love this look, it looks like a children's picture book.

THERE'S GNOME PLACE LIKE GNOME (1)

For this new home card, I used the Oh Gnome! stamp set, together with the Mushroom House and Mushroom Borders die sets. These products are all from Lawn Fawn.

I started by die cutting all the elements for my scene. For the Mushroom House I used Chili Pepper cardstock and Vanilla Malt cardstock. I also used Woodgrain cardstock for the door and window and Ground Espresso for the chimney. For the light behind the window, I used Sticky Note cardstock. I ink blended the top of the roof with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and the bottom part of the stem with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The door and window I inked up with Vintage Photo.

I die cute the Mushroom Border from Vanilla Malt cardstock and the tops from Chili Pepper cardstock. I also used Aged Mahogany for these tops to blend.

I die cut the grass, using the Grassy Border die and the hill from the Mushroom Borders set. I die cut these from Cilantro cardstock. I ink blended them with Lucky Clover Distress Ink.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Gnomes: E00 - E11/ YR21 - YR23/ C0 - C3 - 0/ R17 - R46/ B05 - B12/ W5 - W7
Flowers: YG11 - YG13/ V01 - V12/ RV10 - R83
Lantern: YR21 - YR23

I fussy cut the images, assembled the Mushroom House and added all the elements onto a piece of Really Rainbow Scallops pattern paper. I adhered the entire panel onto a Chili Pepper cardbase and added some hightlights with a white gelly roll pen. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of my card.

I'm so in love with this Mushroom House die set!!!

CRAFTY HAUL (32)

The new Lawn Fawn Spring 2019 has been out for over a week now. I now have received all of my orders, so I'm here to share with you everything I got from the new release.

I was super excited about the new interactive die they released: the Magic Picture Changer. When you pull the tab, the picture literally changes. But I needed the Magic Picture Changer Add-On first, so that's what I got. I've made a couple of cards with it already and it's not as complicated as you might think.

The Spiffy Speckles paper is super fun. I is my favorite paper collection of this release. I think I will use it a lot, because I have already!

From all the stamp sets that were released this Spring, the Rawrsome set got me excited the most. I just love dinosaurs and I can already think of many ways to use. I will definitely make a card or two fro my brother, because he is a dino nerd.

Although I'm not a big fan of butterflies, the Butterfly Kisses stamp was a must have for me. Super cute images and perfect for those amazing spring scenes.

Lawn Fawn Always makes the most clever products. I was super happy with these Reveal Wheel stencils. This way, it makes it easier to line-up you sentiments when you make a reveal wheel card. I got both sets.

And also this tape. It's 1/8 score tape, that will work perfect for assembling the Magic Picture Changer.

The Oh Gnome! set is also a favorite for me of this release. I can't wait to create cute scenes with those gnomes and all those scene builders.

The The Really Rainbow Scallopes paper looks super colorful and I Always loved the scallop shapes.

The Mushroom Border and the Mushroom House dies coordinate perfectly with the Oh Gnome! stamps. The house is my favorite die of this release, it looks so cute.

With spring comes the ultimate spring paper: the Spring Fling papers. I got the larger size, because I'm planning on creating some gift bags with these.

The Reveal Wheel Spring Sentiments was a must-have for me, since  love creating reveal wheel cards. Now I can create reveal wheel cards with a spring and Easter theme.

I also got an older die, the Reveal Wheel Speech Bubble Add-On.

And because it's been nine years, I got the Year Nine stamp set as well. A super cute taco image.

YOUR JOKES ARE ALWAYS A-MOOSE-ING (2)

I created a Father's Day card, set in a forest scene. I used the Dad + Me stamp set, together with the Open Me set and Critters in the Forest stamp set. All from Lawn Fawn.

For the sky, I ink blended some Salty Ocean Distress Ink using a Clouds stencil from My Favorite Things.

For the scene, I used some Lawn Fawn dies. I used the new Mushroom Borders die, which I die cut from Vanilla Malt cardstock. The tips were die cut from Chili Pepper cardstock. I ink blended these with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.

I due cut a tree, using the Leafy Tree Backdrop: Landscape die. I used Chocolate Bar cardstock and Cilantro cardstock. I ink blended the tree trunk with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and the leaves with Lucky Clover Distress Ink.

The grassy I die cut with the Grassy Border die and the grassy hill that comes with the Mushroom Border die. I used Cilantro cardstock for this as well and used Lucky Clover again to blend.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Sign: E53 - E55 - E57
Moose: E74 - E77/ E41 - E43
Bird: YR21 - Y38/ YR07
Log: E53 - E55 - E57/ G43 - G46
Dragonflies: BG23 - BG49/ YR21 - Y38

I die cut or fussy cut the images and assembled the card. I added some white highlights or details to the images, using a gelly roll pen. I also stamped the sentiment onto the sign. I adhered the panel onto a Vanilla Malt cardbase.

I will probably give it to my dad on Father's Day, because I love this card sooooo much!
