Birthday Gnome Card featuring Trinity Stamps and Honey Bee Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. To round off my birthday card series, I decided to make another card with the Springtime Gnome die set from Trinity Stamps! I combined it with the Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Tag Die set.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base, and another piece of Honey Bee Stamps Let’s Party 6 x 8.5″ Paper cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also cut a piece of vellum to 3-3/4 x 5″.
I die cut the gnome using the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome. I used Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ for the beard, face, nose and hands, Honey Bee Stamps Giddy For Gingham 6 x 8.5″ Paper Pad for the hat, as well as Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock Paper. I cut his shoes as well as the balloons and banners from Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock Paper.

I colored his face and nose with Copic Markers. I used R20, E0000 and E00. And B32 and B34 for his hands.

I stamped the sentiment from Mini Messages: Birthday 4×5 Stamp Set onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and used the coordinating dies to cut it out.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of pattern paper from Honey Bee Stamps Let’s Party 6 x 8.5″ Paper which I cut to 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″ and added a die cut word from Catherine Pooler Celebrate Die (retired) cut from the same paper pad as well as Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. The Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Dies and Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Cocktail Add-On Dies are a great addition to my summer card line-up. There are so many beverages you can make with these diesets. I’m starting off with a cute pink daiquiri card. I love to combine pink and green and ths card was a great opportunity to do just that! Look for more cards to come using these dies.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of pattern paper from the Lawn Fawn Fruit Salad 6×6 Inch Petite Paper Pack to 4 x 5-1/4″ which I die cut a window from using the Lawn Fawn Secret Garden Window Dies and another piece cut to 3-3/4 x 5″.

I inked all the images with Catherine Pooler Design inks. I used It’s a Girl for the drink, It’s a Girl and Rouge for the strawberries, Lime Rickey and Grass Skirt for the leaves, Lime Rickey for the flower, and Black Jack for the straw and umbrella base.

I die cut the sentiment from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Enjoy Die. I cut it 3x and stacked them. But before adhering them I used Black Jack Ink to color the top sentiment.

I finished off the card by adding shimmer to the drink portion with a Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen.

On the inside of the card, I add pattern paper cut to 1 x 4-1/4″ and 1-3/16 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn How You Bean Strawberries Add-on with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

These cards fold flat to fit into a regular A2 envelope. My balloons go outside the box top so I made a custom envelope to fit it better.

Hello friends. I could not help but make some more baby cards with the Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Hello Baby Die. It’s such a fun die to play with. I combined this one with images from an older stampset I have, the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby Stampset (which ironically has the same name as the die but is now discontinued).

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base. And another piece from the Doodlebug 6 x 6 Kraft in color – color paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. I die cut a scalloped panel from Stampin’ Up!

I die cut the sentiment panel from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and Echo Park – Bundle of Joy (Dots & Stripes) 6 x 6 Paper Pack (discontinued) using Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Hello Baby Die.

For the background, I cut a piece of Watercolor Paper to 3-3/4 x 5″. Then used Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, and Wild Honey Distress Inks.

I stamped images from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby Stampset (discontinued) onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used YG25, YG17 & YG01 and Y02, Y13, & Y15 for the frog; C1, C3 & C5, R20 for the bunny; BG000 & 0 for the cloud; Y02, Y13, & Y15, R20, YR09 & YR16 for the ducks; YG25 & YG17 for the rattles; and B14, B16 & B12 for the umbrella.

I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby Stampset (discontinued) onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink and trimmed it down to 1/2 x 3″ and cut banner tales on one side.

Two Cards Using One Die: No Waste

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. In honor of Pride month I made these two rainbow cards using the Catherine Pooler Designs Retro Love Dies. This die produces a very cool sentiment that allows you to use the word by itself, with the shadow or even cut out an outline of the word. You can also use it to create shaker cards.

For this first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base, as well as another piece cut to 4 x 5-1/4″. I added double sided tape to the panel and then cut 1/2 inch strips of colored paper from DCWV Double-Sided Mat Stack 4.5″X6.5″ Brights (may be discontinued – link to similar stack below), Stampin’ Up! Pacific Point 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (retired), and Stampin’ Up! Highland Heather 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock.

I trimmed the excess paper and die cut the word “LOVE” from the center of the card. I die cut the word 3x more from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock so I can stack them and create dimension and added a piece of the black cardstock behind it.

I stamped the a sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Buzzword stamps (retired) onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink and trimmed it down to 1/2 x 4 x 5-1/4″. Before adhering it to the card I added some Love From Lizi Silver Glitter Pin Stripe Peel-offs.

I finished off the card by adding some Pretty Pink Posh PLATINUM Pearls.

I left the inside of the card blank.

Dimensions

For the second card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base. Then cut a piece of pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Black Tie Gala 6 x 6 Paper (discontinued) to 2-1/2 x 4-1/4″. I also cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 1-3/16 x 5-1/2″ for the sentiment.

When I die cut the word “LOVE” and the shadow from the center of the previous rainbow panel, it left me with an outline which I will use for this card. I die cut the shadow from Silver Glitter Cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Simply Sentiments Stampset with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Wow White Embossing Powder.

I finished off the card by adding some Smooth Silver Sequin Discs.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the same pattern paper blank to 1 x 5-1/2″.
