Halloween Card Using Only Dies feat. Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. It’s been a few weeks since I posted a Halloween card so it’s time for some new ones. Here is one using only Lawn Fawn dies and stencils. It features the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop and Spooky Gate dies. It’s really easy to create fun or spooky dimensional cards with these dies.

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6×6 Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ for the background. I used the Lawn Fawn Nighttime Sky Stencil with Tim Holtz Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord, Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks, and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink.

Next I die cut the forest from Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop 3x, the grass from Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow Cardstock (retired) with the Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy Hillsides and inked it with Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow Ink (retired), and the gate from Simon Says Stamp Slate 100lb Gray Cardstock with the Spooky Gate and inked it with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink to add some dimension. I die cut tombstones, ghosts, stones, and owl from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and colored with Copic Markers. I used R20, C00, 0, & 110 for the ghosts; C3, C5, C9 & 110 for the owl; N1 & N4 for the tombstones; and W3 & W5 for the stones.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Spooky Village Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink. I trimmed it down to 1/2 x 4″.

I finished off the card by adding some sparkle to the ghosts and the owl with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pen.

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 stamped a sentiment and ghosts from the Lawn Fawn Spooky Village Stampset with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I am starting my Fall series with a card featuring the new release from Catherine Pooler Designs. More cards using these products will be coming soon. For this one I featured the Woven Cover Plate. This cover plate adds lots of texture to your cards without to much work. That’s a win win!

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. I die cut two pieces of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Patterned Paper with the CP Woven Cover Plate Die, cut them each in half and adhered them together. I then added a strip of gold metallic cardstock from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC KRAFT STOCK, measuring 1 x 5-1/2″. I backed the panel with some Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso 8-1/2 x 1 1″ Cardstock.

I die cut a panel from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Square Stackables. For the images, I die cut a pumpkin from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the CP Fall Frames Dies and colored them with Orange Peel, Spiced, Green Tea, Eucalyptus inks. I also stamped images onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the CP Bless this House Stamp Set using Buttercream, Sauna, Green Tea & Eucalyptus for the candle and Over Coffee & Polished for the sprig.

The sentiment was stamped from the CP Joyful Thanks Sentiments onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Versamark Emboss Ink and heat set with Gold Embossing Powder and die cut with the coordinating dies.

On the inside of the card I added a piece of pattern paper measuring 1 x 4-1/4″ and another measuring 1-1/8 x 4-1/4″. I stamped a sentiment from the CP Joyful Thanks Sentiments with Eucalyptus ink and added another sprig.

Embossed Background Using A Die feat. Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Happy Birthday

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Today I’m using the Lawn Fawn Portrait Giant Outlined Happy Birthday die to create an embossed background. This card was pretty quick to make even with all the die cutting involved.

For the 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 and a piece of Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock to 4 x 5-1/4″ for the background.

I embossed the sentiment panel from Crafter’s Companion 6 x 6 White Pearl Shimmering Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Portrait Giant Outlined Happy Birthday die. (See your die cutting machine’s manula for the correct sandwich to use). Then die cut the same panel from 6 colors from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC JEWELS Kraft Stock Paper and Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash METALLIC Kraft Stock Paper.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Young at Heart stampset (not available-part of the Stamp of Approval Collections she used to produce) with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added some of the small shapes left over from the sentiment panels.

Halloween Card Combining Older and Newer Lawn Fawn Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. Time to work on Halloween cards! It’s never too soon to start making Halloween Cards in my opinion. For this card I decided to use an older Lawn Fawn mason jar stampset (Summertime Charm) with the How You Bean? Candy Corn Add-on stampset.

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 8-1/2 x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (retired) with the Catherine Pooler Scallops and Dots dies.and embossed it with Stampin’ Up!’s Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder (retired). Then added some Catherine Pooler Grape Crush Ink as well as Tim Holtz Distress BLACK SOOT Ink to accentuate the raised areas. I also created the moon using Lawn Fawn YETI Pigment Ink and masking paper.

I die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Old Olive 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock with the Catherine Pooler Scallops and Dots dies. Then die cut that piece with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border. I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides Ink to add some dimension.

I die cut the fence from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock using Lawn Fawn’s Spooky Fence Border.

I stamped all the images onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The mason jar is from Lawn Fawn’s Summertime Charm, the candy corn is from Lawn Fawn’s How You Bean? Candy Corn Add-on, the pumpkins and squirrels from the Lawn Fawn Pick of the Patch, and the ghosts and bats from Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting Stampsets.

I colored all the images with Copic Marker. I used C00, R20 and the blender for the ghosts; Y11, Y13, Y15, YR04, YR07, YR09, C00 & the blender for the candy corn;YG17, YG25, YG67, YR04, YR07, YR09, & YR27 for the pumpkins; BG000, B0000 & 0 for the mason jar; R20, C00, C3 & C5 for the squirrels; YR31, YR14 & Y11 for the pumpkin guts; and BV0000, BV11 & BV04 for the pumpkin scoop.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Pick of the Patch onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest with Catherine Pooler Orange Peel Ink and cut it to 5/8 x 3-1/8″.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest to 4 x 5-1/4″ and added an extra ghost, pumpkin and bats.

I added dimension to the images by inking them. I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink for the lighter leaves and limes; Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink for the darker leaves and stems; Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink for the lemons and the drink and Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand Ink (retired) for the fruit basket.

I die cut one of the banners from from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Fancy Wavy Banners Dies and stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn Summertime Charm Stampset with Midnight Ink.

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 die cut the cocktail glass, drink strawberries, umbrella, leaves, straw and flowers from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink, Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Cocktail Add-On and Lawn Fawn Zesty Lemon Dies. I die cut the ice cubes from Vellum and the umbrella top from retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers.

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.

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.

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.
