HAPPY FATHER'S DAY (2)

For Challenge # 27 on the Lawn Fawnatics blog, I designed this pop-up card, since the theme is 3D cards. I don’t make pop-up cards often, simply because it’s so time consuming.

For this card I used the Dad + Me stamp set and a bunch of Lawn Fawn dies. That’s what I started with, die cutting all the elements for my scene. From some Cilantro cardstock I die cut the pop-up element, with the Stitched Hillside Pop-Up die. I also die cut some grass from Cilantro cardstock, using the Meadow Borders die. From Narwhal cardstock I die cut mountains, with the Stitched Mountain Borders. To add some more dimension to the colored cardstock I added some Distress Inks to the top of each die cut. For the greenery I used Mowed Lawn, for the mountains I used Hickory Smoke, ond for the Mermaid sky I used Sallty Ovean.

I stamped all the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Bears: E53 – E55/ E57 – E29
Moose: E29 – E57/ E53 – E55
Trees: YG61 – YG63
Toadstools: R46 – R59/ YR30 – YR31

The water I stamped in Moonstone Ink and Forget-Me-Not Ink. The Trees I used are from the Happy Trails stamp set and the toadstools are from Gleeful Gardens.

I stamped the sentiment at the top of the card and assembled the whole scene. I didn’t create anything on the outside of the card.

YOU'RE A-MAIZE-ING (4)

For Challenge # 27 on the Lawn Fawnatics blog, I designed this pop-up card, since the theme is 3D cards. I don’t make pop-up cards often, simply because it’s so time consuming.

I decided to use my favorite Lawn Fawn stamp set: Happy Harvest. I started by die cutting all the elements I needed for the card. I used the Stitched Hillside Pop-Up die. I used some Distress Inks for the hills. For the back hill I used Crushed Olive and the front hill I blended with Scattered Straw. For the background I used Carved Pumpkin, to create a sunny look.

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Sunflowers: Y15 – YR15/ E57 – E29/ YG61 – YG67
Pumpkins: YR16 – YR07/ YG61 – YG67
Birds: W5 – W7/ Y15 – YR15
Scarecrow: E53 – E55/ E57 – E29/ B93 – B34/ R14 – R46/ Y17
The corn stalks I stamped in Sunflower Ink, Carrot Ink and Doe Ink.

I fussy cut all the images. I also wanted to create a panel on the front of the card. I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I stamped the two sunflowers repeatedly and colored them with the same colors as the sunflowers on the inside of the card.

I used a Sticky Note cardbase and assembled the card. I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card. Please check out the Lawn Fawnatics blog, for the new challenge and great inspiration from me and my fellow Design Team Members. And maybe you can join yourself!

WE FLAMIN-GO TOGETHER (2)

I wanted to make another pop-up card. This time using the Flamingo Together stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I decided to create the pop-up scene first. I die cut the pop-up hills, with the Stitched Hillside Pop-Up, from kraft cardstock. For the cardbase, I used Distress Ink and my mini Ink Blending Tool to give it some color. For the water at the bottom I used Cracked Pistachio. For the sky I wanted to create a sunset. I used Abandoned Coral, Wild honey and Squeezed Lemonade. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom and added the pop-up to the cardbase.

I die cut the sun, from the Sun and Moon die set from lawn Fawn. I added it to the sky of the card.

I stamped the two flamingos. I also stamped the big palm tree a couple of times. I used Doe Ink and Freshly Cut Grass Ink (both from Lawn Fawn) for this. The flamingos I colored with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Flamingos: RV21 – RV23
Beaks: W5 – W7

I fussy cut the flamingos and palm trees and adhered them to the pop-up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WISHING YOU A TREAT-FILLED DAY (1)

I created a birthday pop-up card, using the Happy Howloween stamp set from Lawn Fawn.

I die cut all the elements for my pop-up. I used the Stitched Hillside Pop-Ups for the pop-up element. I also die cut the tree border, with the Stitched Tree Borders. I took a green cardbase and adhered a blue panel onto the top part of it. Then I adhered the tree border and the pop-up element.

I went over to the images. I stamped the three dogs and some accessories. I colored all the images with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Dogs: E25 – E29
Bones: E41
Wings: BG000
Skirts + hats: V04 – V06/ RV21 – RV23
Wand: BG000/ Y11 – Y02
Crown: Y11 – Y02
Present: RV10 – RV23

I fussy cut all the images, which was a lot of work, and adhered them all to the scene. I added some glitter to the accessories with the Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen. Then I stamped the sentiment. The top part is from Year Two, the bottom from happy Howloween.

I made this card for Vayèn, my best friend’s daughter, who is turning two in December. I stamped her name on the outside of the card, but I’m not showing that yet…

I also die cut a hill with the Stitched Hillside Borders and mountains with the Stitched Mountain Borders. I adhered all of this to a blue cardbase and also added a white piece of cardstock to the bottom.

I stamped the sentiment in Lobster Ink from Lawn Fawn and adhered all the images to the scene.

I closed the card and added a strip of Perfectly Plaid Winter paper around the card. I die cut a scalloped circle, with the Scalloped Circle Stackables, from blue cardstock. I added a circle onto it, that I die cut with the Double Stitched Circle STAX from My Favorite Things. I stamped a sentiment with Fish Tank Ink on this circle and adhered it all together.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR (1)

I finally received the Stitched Hillside Pop-Up Dies from Lawn Fawn and today I made my first pop-up card. I used the Toboggan Together stamp set from Lawn Fawn, to create this winter scene

I started by stamping the images. I stamped the two deer, the toboggan, the snow balls and the Santa hat. The rope I stamped in Doe Ink from Lawn Fawn. The images I colored with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Reindeer: E25 – E29/ E41 – E43
Santa hat + toboggan: R29 – R59
Snowballs: C0

I die cut the images with my Cuttlebug and went over to the scene. I trimmed a aqua colored cardbase. I die cut the Stitched Hillside Pop-Up die from white cardstock, to make it look like snowy hills. I also trimmed a white rectangle and added this to the bottom of the cardbase. From grey cardstock I die cut some mountains, with the Stitched Mountain Borders from lawn Fawn. The snow caps I die cut from white cardstock. I adhered the mountains and the pop-up element to the card.

I stamped the sentiment in two inks: Merman Ink and Cranberry Ink, both from Lawn Fawn. I adhered the images to the popped-up hills and added some shimmer to the red elements on the card with the Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen.

I closed the card and wrapped a strip of Perfectly Plaid Christmas paper around it. I added a scalloped circle to it, that I die cut with the Scalloped Circle Stackables from Lawn Fawn, from Perfectly Plaid Christmas paper. I added a aqua colored circle on top, that I die cut with the Double Stitched Circle STAX from My Favorite Things. I adhered one of the deer to it.

You can slide the strip off the card and then open it to be surprised!
