Watercolor Baby Shower Card feat. Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

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! Balmy Blue 12 x 12 Glimmer Cardstock (retired) using the Catherine Pooler Tags, Etc Die set.

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.

On the inside of the card I added two strips of pattern paper measuring 1 x 4-1/4″ and 3/4 x 4-1/4″ and a duck.

Hello Baby Shower Cards feat. Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I needed some very quick baby shower cards recently to bring to my cousin’s baby shower and of course my brain could not come up with anything. I saw this card from the Lawn Fawn design team, Kara Pogreba, which was really cute and seemed quick to make so I had to CASE it. I love the elephants from the Lawn Fawn Elephant Parade stampsets! So cute!!! And you can make them any color you want too! I was given specific colors to use.

For blue version of 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. The pink version used a piece Lawn Fawn Kraft 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock. Then cut a piece of pattern paper from Pebbles 12 x 12 Special Delivery (discontinued) and a piece of Echo Park IT’S A GIRL 6 x 6 Mega Paper Pad to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I die cut the sentiment panel from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Kraft 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock, and Echo Park – It’s A Girl Collection 12 x 12 Paper Pack Solids using Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Hello Baby Die.

I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Set Elephant Parade Stamps onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink and colored with Copic Markers.

I used C00, C3, C5, R20 & R30 for the elephants and mice; and BG000, Y02 & Y15, B32 & B37 (blue card), BG10 & 0, Y00 & Y02, R000 & R20, & G12 & G82 (pink card) for the bottles.

I die cut the banner from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and Lawn Fawn Kraft 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Fancy Wavy Banners Die Cuts. Then stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Set Elephant Parade Add-On Stampset with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink.

I left the inside of the card blank.

Easter, Spring

Spring Cards

Celebrate Spring

Happy Friday!!! It’s time to celebrate the arrival of Spring with this cute card featuring bunnies hopping through the tulips. Can also be used as an Easter card. This card is available for purchase in my Etsy shop.

Ok it may be winter still but I wanted to show how you all that you can use stamps meant for a specific event or holiday and use it for other type of cards. This allows us to stretch our stamps and dies.

Celebrate Spring

I used an older Lawn Fawn stampset, Hello Baby, which is meant for baby cards and used it for a Spring scene instead. Lawn Fawn stamps are great because you can combine different stampsets and they look like they belong together.

WThis card base is a made from Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso cardstock. The sky was made with Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 6 x 6 patterned paper and the tree, grass and flowers were diecut from colored card stocks. I used Lawn Fawn’s Leafy Tree Backdrop for the tree and leaves background, Lawn Fawn’s Grassy Hillside Borders for the grass, and the dies from Hello Baby, for the tiny flowers and clouds. The bunnies and tulips on this card were colored with COPIC markers and cut with coordinating dies. Nuvo drops in Ivory Seashell and Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Brush Pen was added to the tiny flowers for some embellishment.

The inside of the card is decorated with matching pattern paper and diecut tiny flowers. Then stamped with “Happy Spring” using Lawn Fawn How You Bean?
