Hello friends. Here’s another card featuring these adorable penguins from the Lawn Fawn HERE WE GO A-WADDLING stamps. I paired it with an old die set from Catherine Pooler Designs. It was featured in the Winterhaven Stamp of Approval several years ago!

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 x 5-1/4″ for the background. I used the Tim Holtz Salty Ocean, Uncharted Mariner, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks to color the background. Then used a snowflake embossing folder (Stampin’ Up! Winter Snow) to give it some dimension. Then I lightly ran a white pigment ink pad (Lawn Fawn Yeti Pigment Ink) over the raised areas; This enhanced the snowflakes a bit more. (TIP: Make sure to let this dry for several hours before touching the panel or use a heat tool to set it). Lastly, I added some splatters using White Acrylic paint.

Next I die cut the the snowy hills from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I also added some Nuvo Fresh Snowfall Glitter Drops to the snowy hills. I used 3M Foam Tape to adhere the front hillside.

I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn HERE WE GO A-WADDLING stamps onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used R17, R27 & R59, BG10, BG11 & BG32, R20, N1 & 0, N4, N5 & N8, YR04 & YR07 for the penguins; Y13, Y15 & Y17 for the bell and lantern.

I stamped sentiment from the Lawn Fawn HERE WE GO A-WADDLING stamps onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then cut them down to strips.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Simply Winter Sentiments with Catherine Pooler Designs Rockin’ Red Ink and added a penguin.

Winter Village Christmas Scene Card featuring a Stenciled Pattern Paper Background

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. For this cute holiday card, I uses a technique I had forgotten about but recently reminded of while watching a Youtube video. The technique is stenciling on pattern paper. It’s an easy way to add depth and interest to a background without adding extra bulk. This card features the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop die and the Lawn Fawn Winter Village Stamps.

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 Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6×6 Paper to ~4 x 5-1/4″ for the background. I used the Tim Holtz Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans Distress Ink along with the Honey Bee Stamps Birch A2 Cover Plate to give some dimension to the background.

Next I die cut the forest from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Spooky Forest Backdrop, the snowy hills from more Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I also added some Nuvo Fresh Snowfall Glitter Drops to the snowy hills. I used 3M Foam Tape to adhere the forest panel as well as some behind the snowy hills for more dimension.

I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Winter Village Stamps onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y13 & Y18 for the lantern, windows and star; R81, R83, & R85, YG25, YG17 & YG67, C0, C1, C3 & C5 for the houses; YG25, YG17 & YG67 and E25 & E29 for the trees; BG000 and 0 for the snow.

I decided to do a radical thing on this card and have NO sentiment on the outside. What?!? Unheard of, right? LOL. Sometimes it’s ok to leave the outside of your card with just a pretty scenes. Let the recipient be surprised when they open the card.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6×6 Paper to 1 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Winter Village Stamps with Catherine Pooler Rose Petals Ink.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here is one last card to close out my Fall series! This one is an easy inlay technique — and oldy but goody! lol

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 Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut a piece of Neenah 100lb with the Catherine Pooler Woven Cover Plate Die.

I cut another piece Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-1/2 x 4-3/4″ which I colored with Catherine Pooler Designs Spiced Ink using the direct-to-paper technique. Then die cut another piece using the second largest die (3-1/2 x 4-1/2″) from the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables Lawn Cuts Dies.

I die cut a window from the white top panel using the shadow from the Honey Bee Stamps Large Thanks Dies (retired) as well as one from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper which I then inlay into the window area. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stampset using Catherine Pooler Green Tea Ink.

I die cut 2 pumpkins from some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames. I colored them using ink. I used Catherine Pooler Sauna and Orange Peel and Green Tea Inks and popped one up with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I finished off the card by adding some Nuvo Drops in Metallic Bright Gold and Bottle Green.

I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stampset with Catherine Pooler Green Tea Ink on the inside of the card and added a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″ and 1-1/8 x 5-1/2″.
