hello!! I wanted to share with you a fun colorful card I made using the Birthday Balloons Stamp set as well as the Big Scripty Greetings stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. I stamped all of my balloons using Lawn Fawn inks! Absolutely LOVE these inks!! They are great for beginner stampers as well!!
For my background I used the new MFT Balloon String BG stamp and inked it up using Hero Arts Wet Cement ink - I didn't want to use a black....I felt it would be too much for the background, and I really wanted to have the balloons stay the "star of the show" if you will!
Once all my stamping was complete, I adhered my panel that I die cut using the Stitched Square die from Lawn Fawn and placed that onto my 5 x 5 inch card base. To finish up my card, I added some Clear Wink of Stella brush pen!!
Here's a close up of all that beautiful shimmer!
Below is my video tutorial of how I put this card together!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
Hi gang! Sorry I've been a bit MIA on the blog recently. Before I get into the featured card today, I just want to say that I hope to post on my blog regularly. The past two years it turned into a blog for my Lawnscaping DT posts with a few non DT posts sprinkled in...well since my term has ended
*enter frown face* you will see a bit of a difference on how often I post. I started my blog of course for myself and all my creations, and when I had the opportunity to be a DT member for the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog ( Facebook Inspiration Team), it turned into a blog mainly for those posts....well gonna have to change that and get back to basics if you will...so enough of that...
Today's post features a card I made using one of the newest sets from Lawn Fawn called Sweet Smiles, and oh how adorable it is! One of my favorites from this release for sure!!
I stamped the main image onto a piece of PTI Stamper's Select White Cardstock ( my fav) using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and I used my Copics in pinks and blues to color in my image. Once I achieved the coloring that I liked, I die cut the gum ball machine using the coordinating die. Then, I used several of the faces that come in this set and stamped them onto each of the gum balls. Aren't they just adorable!! Too cute for words! Then, I die cut some pattern papers from both the BeachSide Patterns and Polka Mon Amie 6x6 pads. I both the Large and Small Stitched Square Stackables dies from LF to die cut all of my papers and a piece of white card stock to create a white frame. I stamped the sentiment 'You're So Sweet' from the same stamp set using the VersaFine Onyx Black ink - such a great black ink! Then, I started adhering my pieces together. I added some foam adhesive to my gumball machine, and placed that onto my polka dot pattern paper. I added some liquid glue to my white frame and adhered that to the other piece of pattern paper. Then, I added all of that onto my 5x5 Vintage Cream card base. To finish things off I added some Wink of Stella to the gumballs.
Such a fun set!! So - did you pick up this set!! I'd love to hear from you if you did! If you'd like to see how this one came together, the video is below as well! Thanks for stopping by!!
Good Afternoon!! Today, I am bringing you a shaker card tutorial. I love shakers - they are so much fun, and the possibilities are endless when it comes to making them, and what you can put in them. No wonder they are so popular. For my card today I am using Mama Elephant's Sunny Skies stamp set as well as sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I recently picked up some of the new iridescent colors that Paulina has in her shop!
I started out by die cutting a piece of my favorite white card stock and a piece of the Sea Glass Card Stock from Simon Says Stamp using one of the frames from the Small Stitched Square die set from Lawn Fawn, and then I used the coordinating balloon die from the Sunny Skies set, and die cut two balloons from my white panel to create my window panel for my shaker. I, then stamped onto my Sea Glass card stock the balloons from the stamp set using Lemon Yellow ink, and Raspberry Jam ink, both from Hero Arts. I stamped the basket from the stamp set and the sentiment 'Sunny Skies Ahead' onto my white window panel. I then adhered a die cut piece of acetate to the back of my white panel to complete the window panel. Then, I covered the back of the panel with foam adhesive before adding some fun sequins.
I added the Sunshine Glow and Strawberry Burst Iridescent sequins to my windows, and then I removed my foam adhesive backing papers to expose the stick side, and then I adhered my stamped panel. Success! Time to give it a few shakes! To finish the card, I die cut another piece of Sea Glass card stock with another square frame and adhered that to a 5x5 white card base.
