Giant Sentiment Shaker Birthday Card feat. Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s a another shaker card that can be used for anyone but this one features a large sentiment as the shaker element. These giant sentiment dies from Lawn Fawn are a great way to make quick cards that make an impact.

For this card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece to 3-3/4 x 5″ using the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I diecut the sentiment from the center of the top panel using the Lawn Fawn Giant Happy Birthday Die.

I added clear acetate behind the panel and added 3M Foam Tape to create a shaker. I used Queen and Company shaker toppings and Martha Stewart Glitter Set-Iridescent Hearts & Stars. And then added a piece of Doodlebug 6 x 6 Kraft-in-Color pattern paper to the back to close it up.

I stamped the hats from Lawn Fawn Hats Off to You Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y13, V04, BG10, YR04, R17, and B12.

I stamped the rest of the sentiment onto a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ from the Lawn Fawn Hats Off to You Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Then cut it down to 7/16 x 2-7/16″

I finished off the card by adding some Nuvo Glitter Drops in Silver Moondust.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and a strip of the same pattern paper measuring 1 x 4″ and added another hat.

Flat Shaker Masculine Birthday Card feat. Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s a fun flat shaker card that could be for anyone but in keeping with my masculine card series, I think this one would work well for that theme. This is my first flat shaker but it turns out they are actually easier to make than a regular shaker. It’s win win in my book!

For this card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Arnold’s Drive-In Patterned Paper which I die cut with Lawn Fawn LARGE STITCHED RECTANGLE STACKABLES and inked with Catherine Pooler Oh Boy! Ink to tone it down a bit.

I took a clear bag in A2 size (I used the same ones I use for my finished cards) and slid the panel inside it. I taped the excess plastic on the sides to create a tight fit around the card panel. Next I added a bunch of different sequins and sprinkle shaker bits and sealed the top with more double sided tape.

I die cut the large sentiment from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ as well as Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Giant Happy Birthday Die. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Queen and Company Sentiment Stackers #1 Stampset onto Lawn Fawn 100lb Black Licorice Cardstock with Versamark Ink and White Embossing Powder.

I stamped the balloons from Lawn Fawn Set Elephant Parade Add-On Stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y02, Y13 & Y17, BV00, BV13 & BV17, and YG01, YG25, and YG17.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-3/4 x 5″ using the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I also added a strip of the pattern paper measuring 1 x 3-3/4″ and another balloon.

kittieslovecrafting

Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome!

Hello friends. Today I’m bringing you a cute pop up scene card featuring Lawn Fawn’s Oh Gnome! Stampset and Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Pop-Up Die. This is fun die that can elevate any card for every occasion.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4-1/4 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then, die cut three of the Lawn Fawn Leafy Tree Backdrop: Landscape with Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock for the branches and Lawn Fawn 6×6 Perfectly Plaid Spring Petite Paper Pack (I believe this is no longer available but any pattern paper will work) for the tree top/leaves. I also cut two hillsides using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Pop-Up Die from Stampin’ Up! Old Olive 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock. For the tree on the inside for the card, I cut off the border and for the hillside on the front I used just the larger protion of the pop up piece.

For the sky on the outside of the card, I cut a piece of some random Lawn Fawn Paper Paper I had in my stash (it either came in a Simon Says Stamp kit or sent with a Lawn Fawn order) to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. For the inside, I used Lawn Fawn 6×6 Perfectly Plaid Spring Petite Paper Pack cut to the same size. If you need a tutorial on how to assemble the Pop Up Card mechanism, please watch this Lawn Fawn video.

I diecut the mushroom house from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Cuts Custom Craft Die-mushroom House and colored it with Copic Markers. I used RV000 & 0 and R81 & R83 for the roof; E25, E27 & E49 for the house; YG25, YG17 & G07 for the door and window; N4 & N7 for the chimney; Y13 & Y06 for the keyhole and window backs; and V01 & V04 for the butterflies. I also added some embellishments with a black marker and a white gel pen.

I stamped all the images I needed from the Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome! Stampset and the shamrocks from the Simon Says Stamps WOOLY-LUCKY stampset onto some Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and die cut using the coordinating dies.

I used YG17 & G07 for the shamrocks; E57 & E29, R81, R83, & R85, RV00, RV10 & RV11 for the mushrooms; N4, N5 & N7 for the cart. For the gnomes I used E00, E01 & R20 for the faces; C00, C1 & 0 for mustaches and beards; R14 & R27, R81 & R83, Y06 (belt buckle), and N4 & N7 (shoes and belt) for the red gnome; YR04 &YR09, YR12 & YR04, E23 & E25 (hair), and N1 & 0 (apron) for the orange gnome; Y13 & Y18, Y11 & Y02, Y06 (belt buckle), and N4 & N7 (shoes and belt) for the yellow gnome; G07 & G09, YG25 & YG17, E23 & E25 (hair), C1& 0 (apron), and N7 (shoes) for the green gnome; BG01 & BG05, BG10, BG15 & BG32, Y13 (belt buckle), and N4 & N7 (shoes an00 & BVd belt) for the aqua gnome; B24 & B26, B12 & B14, Y13 (belt buckle), and N4 & N7 (shoes and belt) for the blue gnome; YG25 & YG17, Y18 for the tiny daisy patch; YG25 & YG17, Y13 & Y18, C5 & C7 for the large daisy; and YG25 & YG17, V01 & V04 for the tulip and bud.

Shop Your Stash Day 4: Reveal Wheel Mason Jar Aquarium

kittieslovecrafting

When I was going through my die stash I remembered how much I loved my Reveal Wheel dies from Lawn Fawn as well as the Lawn Fawn How You Bean? Stamp sets so I decided to combine them and see what happens. After all fish fit in a mason jar right?? (I probably wouldn’t put real fish in the mason jar but it’s fine for fake fish!)

For this card I started by cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. Then I used the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Die to diecut the 2 wheels and two panels of the reveal wheel base. I diecut the the window into one of the panels with the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Semicircle Add-on Die Cut and then turned it 180 degrees and diecut it under the first window.

I inked up the panel using MFT’s Snow Drifts Coverup Die (not available) as a stencil ccombined with Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon, Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I created a gradient using Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon first, then turned the die 180 degrees and used Mowed Lawn to layer over it, and finally Tumbled Glass over all of it to mute it some. I used the same color combo on the large wheel, without the stencil. I sprayed some water on everything with my RANGER Tim Holtz DISTRESS SPRAYER and blotted it.

I set that aside to dry and stamped all the images from the Lawn Fawn FINTASTIC FRIENDS onto a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I also stamped the large fishtank (I will use just the sand) and the mason jar from Lawn Fawn HOW YOU BEAN? (onto clear acetate) with Tsukineko Stazon Black Ink .

Once the inked panel was dry I added splashes of white acrylic paint and heat embossed bubbles and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn FINTASTIC FRIENDS. I prepped the surface with an anti-static tool first (make sure the acrylic paint has dried) then used Versamark Ink and WOW Embossing Powder Opaque Bright White Super Fine. I assembled the reveal wheel using 3M Foam Tape and adhered it to the card base. To see how to assemble the reveal wheel check out this video from Lawn Fawn.

I colored the images with COPIC markers. I used Y06, Y15 and YR04 for the goldfish, E53, E33, and E37 for the sandcastle, B95 and 97 for the shark, YG25 and YG03 for the plants, R05, R14, R17 and R27 for the crab, R05 and R12 for the coral, Y06, Y15, B24 and B26 for the striped fish and E53 and E33 for the sand in the jar tank.

I diecut all the images and adhered them to the card using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue. I used Glossy Accents Glue Adhesive to adhere the mason jar. I stamped the arrow from Lawn Fawn’s Push Here stampset with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto the card base and finished it off by adding White Blizzard Nuvo Drops and a few Pretty Pink Posh 4MM ClearDroplets.

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn HOW YOU BEAN? with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and an extra sandcastle I had colored.

Celebrations, Fall, Just Because

Donut Cards

kittieslovecrafting

Happy Monday everyone! Coming to you today with some fun and delicious cards. I love coffee and donuts but since I am trying to be good (yeah, right!) and not eat too much sugar, I will make them into cards instead.

This die from Honey Bee Stamps really makes them super quick and easy to make. There are also so many ways to embellish this cute donut card. It can be for birthdays, holidays, seasons, or just because.

All the cards bases were created using Lawn Fawn Paper Bag 8. 1/2 x 11” Cardstock along with the Honey Bee Stamps Donut Card Die. On this first card I used Lawn Fawn Guava 8 1/2 x 11” Cardstock and the Honey Bee Stamps Donut Card Die to create the frosting and added a layer of orange Queen & Co Rainbow Glitter Fun Foam to highlight the sprinkles. In retrospect I should’ve made the sprinkles 3D, but oh well.

I diecut the sentiment from Neenah Solar White 8 1/2 x 11” 110lb Cardstock using the Honey Bee Stamps Donut Worry Dies for the inside and the outside of the card. I used Stampin’ Up! Vellum for the sentiment shadow. I glued all of it with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.

The second card uses SU! Highland Heather 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock for the frosting and a layer of light pink Queen & Co Rainbow Glitter Fun Foam to highlight the sprinkles.

I diecut the word ‘Sweet’ from Neenah Solar White 8 1/2 x 11” 110lb Cardstock using the Catherine Pooler Celebrate Friends Stamp of Approval Collection Sweet Die. I then ink blended Catherine Pooler It’s A Girl ink to create an ombré effect on the word. I glued that down onto a scrap of Stampin’ Up! 8 1/2 x 11 Early Espresso 8 1/2 x 11” cardstock and fussycut around it to create a shadow. I stamped the word ‘You’re’ from Stampin’ Up!’s Cool Treats (retired) with Versamark clear embossing ink onto a piece of Stampin’ Up! 8 1/2 x 11 Early Espresso 8 1/2 x 11” cardstock and heat embossed it with Wow white embossing powder. I adhered those two pieces to the front of the card with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.

On the inside I diecut out a donut shape using the Honey Bee Stamps Donut Card Die circle die from Neenah Solar White 8 1/2 x 11” 110lb Cardstock and stamped a sentiment from Stampin’ Up!’s Cool Treats (retired) in Catherine Pooler Designs Over Coffee Ink and glued the piece inside the card.

For the last card I had to make it a Fall card, not only because I love Fall but also because I love pumpkin spiced everything and donuts are no exception. Can’t wait for Fall people!

Anyways I used SU! Pumpkin Pie 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock for the yummy orange frosting and layered purple Queen & Co Rainbow Glitter Fun Foam (ok it’s a little bit more Halloween than Fall but that’s ok ‘cuz I live Halloween too).

For the sentiment, I stamped part of it using the Honey Bee Stamps Happy Fall Y’all stampset, Versamark clear embossing ink and heat embossed it with Wow white embossing powder onto a piece of Stampin’ Up! 8 1/2 x 11 Early Espresso 8 1/2 x 11” cardstock. Then diecut the ‘Fall’ word from Stampin’ Up! 8 1/2 x 11 Early Espresso 8 1/2 x 11” cardstock with the Fall die from the same stampset.

To make the word appear to float over the donut hole, I used a strip of Stampin’ Up! Vellum and adheredit over the hole. I used the circle die in the Donut Card dieset to trim the sides. I then adhered the rest of the sentiment pieces above and below. I used Nuvo Crystal Drops in Violet Galaxy to add some embellishment.

Lastly I stamped a sentiment from the Queen & Co Happy Harvest Kit with Catherine Pooler Designs Over Coffee Ink and this card is complete.

Before I go I just want to say that if you want to make these cards and you don’t have all the supplies I used and don’t want to purchase them, just look through your stash of stamps, dies, and papers and make them your own. It’s fun to play with different looks. The possibilities are really endless. Have FUN with it!!!
