Making a Card : Sealed with a Kiss | Lawn Fawn

Hello Friends!!  Today I am sharing this card using the Lawn Fawn mini set, Sealed with a kiss!  This set was a Black Friday promotion only, but I am sure at a later date, LF will release this set for all to enjoy!!

I did a bit of shadowing on these two adorable seals with my C3 Copic marker and added some dot detail to really bring the seals to life.

I also used some more of the Simple Stories Winter Wonderland papers.

I love the detail to the cheeks of that right seal!!  So cute!!  You could easily use a blush colored marker to add this, but it is fun to stamp it as well!!  

To see how I put this one together - I have the video below!  And, as always the supplies are listed below as well!  Have a great day!

Holiday Card Series 2016 | Card #7 | KWCardDesign

Happy Monday! I have another card for you in my Holiday Card Series!  Today I am playing with elements from the My Favorite Things Card Kit called Snowflake Sparkle.  The kit is sold out, but good thing that the products are available for individual purchase!! YAY!

So I started out prepping my white card stock panel for embossing that I die cut from an Avery Elle frame die called Finished Frames, and I picked out a few of the snow flake images from the Simply Snowflakes set from the kit.

Each time I stamped, I covered them with silver embossing powder so it was easier to see where my images were.  Then, I heat to set them with my heat tool.  Then, I added my sentiment from the Mama Elephant set, Winter Wonderland.  I stamped it with Cornflower ink, and then onto Versa Mark ink.  This is an easy task as I used my MISTI stamping tool to do this!  A wonderful tool to have!!


Then, I embossed my sentiment in clear embossing powder.  I wanted to add a bit of color around my snow flakes, so I used the same cornflower ink and my ink blending tool and used a light hand to add the color to the background.  Once I was happy with that result, I added some foam tape to the back, and adhered it to my top fold A2 size white card base.

For a final embellishment, I added a few Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets to the middle of 3 snowflakes :)

Thank you stopping in today!  See you right back here for card #8!

Sparkle and Shine - Mama Elephant Challenge

Hello everyone!  So - I've done something I haven't done in months! I decided to participate in a challenge!!  No DT projects, just play time!  The newest Mama Elephant Challenge is up for November, and I was inspired.  I love Mama Elephant stamps and dies, and I bought the set Winter Wonderland last year, but by the time I was able to get my hands on it, the holidays were over.  This set was super popular, and it was constantly sold out.  So, I decided to ink it up, and let the creative juices flow.  I actually love the end result if I do say so myself!  That is the wonderful thing about creativity - I had NO idea where I was going, and I just looked in my supplies, and once I picked out my dies from Lawn Fawn, then I just sat down, and came up with this card.

I die cut the Stitched Banner dies from Lawn Fawn out of some PTI Stampers Select White card stock.  I die cut both dies at the same time on my white card stock, and created a larger border piece and then the inner piece.  I then started to ink up the outer frame with Iced Spruce Distress Ink, then I moved on to my inner piece.  I punched out a circle with my 1 1/4 circle punch to make a moon mask, and then added the Iced Spruce, Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks.. I love the gradient look that came out of this.   Then I stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink the birch trees and little deer.  I then stamped the star images in VersaMark Ink and embossed in silver embossing powder as well as my sentiment. I also made a border piece from a scrap piece of card stock to match the same silver.  I started to assemble my card by choosing some solid blue paper from the Doodle Bug 6x6 Frosty Friends pad, and adhered my frame to it, and then adhered foam adhesive to my smaller panel for a little dimension.  I adhered the whole panel to my Enchanted Evening card base, and then added my silver strip and some Hero Arts gems to finish things off.

It was so fun to just play and explore what I could come up with for this challenge!!  See you soon!
