kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. This cute egg shaped card features the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome Die Set. This little gnome is very easy to put together and the can be used for many occasions. Let’s put this card together…

For this card, I die cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, folded in half using the Sizzix Framelits Die Set 10PK – Egg (discontinued) to create the card base. to accomplish this I simply left one side of the die off the edge of the folded card base before die cutting. This card base measures 3-3/4 x 5-1/4″ I also cut a smaller egg shape for the front panel.

I colored the sky with Tim Holtz Uncharted Mariner and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. Then die cut the grass from Simon Says Stamp 100lb Green Apple Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy Hillsides and also used the Egg framelits to shape it.

I die cut the gnome’s hat, hands and bunny ear insides from Echo Park 12 x 12 I Love Easter Cardstock Pack (discontinued I believe) using the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome Die Set. The bunny ears, nose, face and beard were die cut from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and colored with Copic Markers. I used E000 for the nose, E000, E00, R20 & 0 for the face; and C0 & 0 for the ears. His shoes, hat band and all the eggs were die cut from Doodlebug 6 x 6 Dot Grid Daisy Stripe Pack (discontinued I think).

I added a sentiment using the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips REVERSE EASTER WISHES. I finished off the card by adding some highlights with a White Gel Pen.

I left the inside of the card blank.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s another way to use the Lawn Fawn Window Scene: Spring Stampset if you don’t have a window die. I combined it with the Lawn Fawn Secret Garden Window Dies to create a cute dimensional window scene. Check out the Lawn Fawn website for even more ideas!

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 to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I embossed this panel with the Darice Embossing Essentials Folder 1218-66 Basket Weave (discontinued). I colored the panel with Tim Holtz Seedless Preserves and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Inks.

I stamped the window scene from Lawn Fawn Window Scene: Spring Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I also stamped some images from the Lawn Fawn Eggstraordinary Easter and Lawn Fawn Eggstraordinary Easter Add-On Stampsets. Then colored the images with Copic Markers. I used Y13 & Y17, R20, YR04 & YR09 for the chicks; C0, C1, R20 & 0 for the bunny; YR04, YR09, YG25 & YG67 for the carrots; Y17, RV55, BG000, YR04 & YR09, V22 & V28 & BG02 for the butterflies; YG25, YG67 & G28, E27 & E49 for the trees and grass; Y13 & Y17 for the sun; Y17 for the flower centers; RV000, RV52 & RV5, YR04 & YR09, Y13 & Y18, and BG000 & BG02 for the tiny eggs; RV000 & RV52 for the large egg.

I die cut the window from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Secret Garden Window Dies. I cut two pieces; the first piece I colored with Copics and the second I left white and cut off the flowers and leaves to create a border. I used 3M Foam Tape to pop up the window.

I added a sentiment using the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Easter Wishes. I popped it up using 3M Foam Tape. I finished off the card by adding some highlights with a White Gel Pen.

On the inside of the card, I added another sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Easter Wishes and added a chick and flower.

Cards, Emboss Resist Technique, Spring

Emboss Resist Background Spring Card featuring Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s another cute card featuring the Lawn Fawn Giant Easter Messages. For this one I created a bright background using the emboss resist technique with Distress Oxides. I also watercolored the center panel for a softer look.

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, another piece to 4 x 5-1/4.

For the background, I stamped the tiny images from the Lawn Fawn Giant Easter Messages using Lawn Fawn YETI Pigment Ink and heat embossed it using WOW OPAQUE BRIGHT WHITE Super Fine Embossing Powder. Then used Tim Holtz Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Inks.

Next, I stamped the sentiment panel 2x from the Lawn Fawn Giant Easter Messages onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink and then poured Ranger Clear Embossing Powder overtop and heat set it. The second piece I will fussycut and pop up with 3M Foam Tape later.

I colored the panel with my Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolors. Heat embossing the image first makes it easier for the watercolors to stay in place and not bleed. Then I die cut the sentiment with Stampin’ Up! Layering Ovals Dies (retired). As previously mentioned I also fussycut the second sentiment panel that I had stamped and heat embossed and popped it up with 3M Foam Tape.

I stamped the tiny images from the same stampset as well as some from the Lawn Fawn Eggstraordinary Easter onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I colored them with Copic Markers. I used C0, C1, R20 & 0 for the bunnies; Y11, Y13 & Y18, R20, YR07 for the chics; RV52, RV19 & RV55, Y13 & Y18, V22, V25 & BV17 for the flowers; YG06 & YG67, and YR07 & YR04 for the carrots; RV52, RV19 & RV55, Y13 & Y18, V22, V25 & BV17, and YR07 & YR04 for the butterflies.

I left the inside of the card blank.

I added a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Lucky which I die cut from the DCWV Single-Sided 4.5″ x 6.5″ Brights Mat Stack.
