SENDING HEDGEHUGS (2)

For this love card I used the Hedgehugs stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I started by stamping the two hedgehogs. I colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Hedgehogs: E25 – E29/ E41 – E43

I fussy cut the images and went over to the scene. From brown cardstock I die cut the Leafy Tree Backdrop: Landscape. From green cardstock I die cut the leaf portion. For the sky I took some teal colored cardstock and I cut two grass hills from green cardstock, with the Stitched Hillside Borders. I adhered it all together, with the front hill with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, with a curve.

I missed a little something in the top right corner, so I decided to add some clouds. I die cut the smallest cloud from the Simple Puffy Clouds twice and added them to the background. I adhered the two hedgehogs with foam tape.

A cute scene card to send to someone you love or just want to send a hug.

CONGRATULATIONS (1)

I was asked to create a card for someone’s 60th wedding anniversary. She wanted me to use either elephants or hedgehogs. I think the Hedgehugs stamp set from Lawn Fawn is perfect. I combined them with the Hearts dies from Lawn Fawn.

I started with the hearts. I used some Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and blended it onto some Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock. Then I die cut all the hearts with my Cuttlebug. I used the negative hearts for blending the background. I used Spun Sugar Distress Ink for that. I adhered the hearts to the panel after I blended the hearts onto it. I used foam tape to adhere them.

I stamped both hedgehogs onto some white cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Face: E00 – E11 – E21
Spikes: E25 – E29 – E77
Cheeks: RV02

I fussy cut them out with my scissors and adhered them with foam tape. I stamped the greeting right underneath the hedgehogs. This sentiment is from the Oh Happy Day set by Avery Elle.

I added the panel to some pattern paper. It’s from the Perfectly Plaid 6x6 paper pad from Lawn Fawn. I rounded off all the corners with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper. I added the panel to a pink cardbase. As a finishing touch I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter to the hearts.

I hope the happy couple will love this card as much as I do!

I LOVE YOU (1)

A great blogger and youtuber, Tracy Mae, just started a card challenge on Instagram. This time our task was to use pink in our card.

 

 

I first stamped the two hedgehogs from the Hedgehugs stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:

Left hedgehog: E25 – E29 – E77

Right hedgehog: E29 – E71 – E71

Faces: E00 – E11 – E21

 

 

I die cut a circle around them with one of the circle dies from the Double Stitched Circle STAX by My Favorite Things. I also stamped some hearts with Distress Inks Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar.

I wanted to blend the background with the same Distress Ink colors as I stamped the hearts in. I used a Heidi Swapp triangle stencil and started at the bottom with Worn Lipstick, the darker color. I went half way and then started blending Spun Sugar.

To add some extra dimension, I die cut another circle, from some soft pink cardstock. I adhered it to the circle with the hedgehogs on it, with foam tape. Then I adhered the circles to the background. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, it’s from the Love You S’More set from Lawn Fawn.

 

 

The front panel was adhered to a pink card base. A added some sequins to the card, Wink of Stella to the hearts and I rounded off the two bottom corners with my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

And there you have it, my card for the challenge using pink.

SENDING HEDGEHUGS (1)

Lawn Fawn has some really cute, affordable smaller stamp sets. The Hedgehugs stamp set is one of them and I use it quite often.

 

 

I started with the Crealies Squares stencil. The stencil has three sizes of the squares and I used the largest. I decided to use Ranger Texture Paste and mixed it with some Distress Ink to give it some color. I used Wild Honey and Worn Lipstick. That last color isn’t very visible in the end result though. I taped down the stencil and made sure the paste was evenly distributed and covered all the squares.

 

 

I let the past dry and went over to the little hedgehogs. I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with copic markers.

Here are the colors I used:

E00, E31, E35, E71, E77

R22 (for the cheeks)

I cut them out with scissors because I don’t own the die cuts yet. After cutting them I always color the edges with a black marker, so it looks like I cut them perfectly.

 

 

I used some pattern paper from Shimelle (true stories) by American Crafts, for the background and stamping the sentiment. I stamped ‘Sending Hedgehugs’ with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. It’s a very solid black ink, but it takes some time to dry though.

I rounded all the corner of the pattern paper with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper and put them together. The paper I used the stencil on was adhered with foam tape and I also did that with the hedgehogs. The entire panel was adhered on some craft cardstock, which corners I also rounded of. This is such a sweet card.
