Happy Easter!

 

Who do you think lives in this adorable house?  I definitely have patterned paper hoarding issues, so I really have to force myself to use it.  However, I did let the patterned paper do all the work on this card.  

The background is inked with Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.  I used Lawn Fawn's Cloudy Sky and Grassy Hillside Stencils.  

The dies that I used are: 

• Outside In Easter Egg
• Easter Egg Frame
• Build A House: Christmas Add On - Door, Wreath, Bow
• Build A House - Awning
• Build A House: Spring Add On - Window
• Build A House: Beach Add On - Porch and Rail
• Build A Greenhouse - Hanging Plants
• Build A Basket: Easter - Small Eggs and Grass
• Spring Showers - Sun
• Puffy Cloud Frames - Cloud

The sentiment is from the stamp collection: Celebrations Scripty Sentiments.

The outside of this house is so cute, I would love to see what is inside.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope Your Birthday is Rawrsome!

Hello!  A fellow cardmaker, Helene Siermans Petterson, @nicksscrapshack, and I started chatting about all the places these little mice would explore and we decided to make a Jurassic Park themed card.  Hers turned out adorable of course, https://www.instagram.com/p/DG-eVnJgAgr/?img_index=1.  This is my take!

I decided on a slimline card because there were so many little things that I wanted to put on it.  I cut the background from white cardstock using Lawn Fawn's Large Slimline with Sliders die.  I inked the sky by lightly inking the area with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and then went back with Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide using the Slimline Cloudy Stencil.  

For my little volcanos, I used the Stitched Mountain Border to cut my range out of Ground Coffee cardstock.  I cut the little snow tops from Pumpkin cardstock and applied them to the mountains.  To turn the mountains into volcanos, I cut the top of the mountain off and then rounded the edges.  To give the background a little more interest, I used the Slimline Picket Fence die with white cardstock, the Slimline Stitched Hillside Borders with Paper Bag cardstock, and Slimline Grassy Hillside Border with Algae cardstock.  To give my card a little more dimension, I cut another layer of Algae cardstock with the Slimline Grassy Hillside Border and popped it up with some foam tape.  I added a couple of clouds using white cardstock and the Puffy Cloud Frame die.  

The stamps sets that I used are, It's A Bird, Rawrsome, and Critters In The Desert.  They were colored with Copic markers in the following colors:

• E30, E31, E35, E37, R20, R21, R22 - Mice
• G21, G43, YG63 - Brontosaurus
• Y26, YR23, YR24 - Triceratops
• YR12, YR15, YR18, Y35 - Stegosaurus
• YG93, G94, G99 - Cactus

For the sentiment, I used the one included with the Rawrsome stamp set.  I heat embossed it using black and white embossing powder.  

This was definitely a fun little challenge.  I can only imagine where these little guys to travel to next.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Beet, Carrot Lime.....Bum! Bum! Bum!

Hi again!  This card was just for fun.  We had a wedding last year, and everyone had so much fun singing along to Neil Diamond's, Sweet Caroline, that I thought that I would make a card.  Of course it had to be "punny" so I used a few Lawn Fawn dies and lettering.

Supplies:

• Stitched Root Veggies
• Zesty Lemon
• Scalloped Slimline with Hearts
• Claire's ABC's

That song get stuck in my head every time I look at the card.  So Good! So Good!

We Miss You Already!

Hello!  I am back today with my new little favorite friends from Lawn Fawn.  This It's A Bird stamp and die set is so versatile - I can see these little guys traveling all over.

For the background, I cut a piece of cardstock 4.25" x 5.5". Using the Desert Canyon Backdrop by Lawn Fawn, as a stencil.  I inked the background using Prized Ribbon and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink for the sky and Tea Dye and Vintage Photo for the ground.  I also used the Lawn Fawn Hillside Stencil to lay in a couple more hills.  I made a card with a similar background and have a YouTube video showing the process if you want to watch.  https://studio.youtube.com/video/nf4uUjB1uy4/edit.

I also cut a couple more layers for the bottom of the card for my sentiment and friends using the Stitched Hillside Border die.  I inked and blended it with the Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.  I also completed the sentiment by heat embossing it using Harold's ABC's.  

I cut the "We Miss You" from Barn Red and #2 Pencil cardstock using Finley's ABC's.  I like to layer my die cut letters to add a little dimension to them.  I adhered them to the background along with a couple of clouds using the Simple Puffy Cloud Frame die.  

The images from It's A Bird and Critters In The Desert are colored with the following Copic colors:

• G21, YG63, G94
• E35, E37
• R17, R35, R39
• Y11, Y15
• R20, R21, R22
• E40, E41, E42, E43
• C0, C1, C3

I think this is just such a cute card because of the little mice.  

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great day!!!
