Making Cards Is Fun

Lawn Fawn Spooky Halloween Center Picture Window Card

On: Sep 11

Hello, friends! Sorry I haven’t shared a card in a while. The past couple of days I’ve been busy making cards for upcoming blog hops in October and of course I’ve also been job hunting! I’m still looking for a good job as a kindergarten teacher, but it’s not easy finding one.

Anyway, today I’m sharing a spooky Halloween Center Picture Window Card featuring Lawn Fawn products. I love mixing and matching Lawn Fawn products so much! 😍 Make sure to watch the video below to catch all of my tips and tricks.

I stamped and colored images from the Spooky Village Set from Lawn Fawn. I like how small these images are! It makes them perfect to use with their interactive dies.

For the inside of the Center Picture Window Card, I created a pretty Distress Oxide Ink blend with Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves. I splattered on some silver and black Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. 🎃

I assembled the Center Picture Window Card using the base set and also the add-on to create pretty stitched panels for the outside and inside of the card. This time I worked with the Spiffy Speckles Paper Pad from Lawn Fawn.

For extra sparkle, I went in with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. The amount of sparkle this little pen gives you is insane! It’s my new favorite.

PS: I’m entering this card into the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 60: Create a Scene! It’s been a while since I entered a challenge. 😄

That’s it for now. Thank you so much for stopping bye! Sending big hugs. Xo

Happy Friday, friends! A couple of days ago, I asked my Instagram followers to help me pick my card making supplies. You voted for the Yeti Or Not Set and the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up Die Cuts.

I used these products to create a frosty winter scene. Too early? I don’t think so. 🙊 I’m really looking forward to winter so I really enjoyed making this card.

First, I stamped and colored images from the Yeti Or Not Set from Lawn Fawn. I used the coordinating die cuts to cut them all out at once. I also heat embossed the snowflakes from the set on vellum. Using kitchen flour is a great way to remove any static cling and give you a crisp embossed image!

I assembled the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up from Lawn Fawn and used lots of patterned paper with it. Sadly enough, this paper pack isn’t available for purchase anymore. 😔

For my sentiment, I used the Fancy Wavy Banner Die Cuts and the brand new Winter Wavy Sayings Stamp Set from Lawn Fawn. I finished off the card by adhering the vellum snowflakes with Silicone Foam Tape (THIS STUFF IS SO GOOD!!!). I also used my new favorite shimmer pen to apply glitter to the images. 😍

That’s it for now! Thank you so much for stopping by. Sending big hugs. 🥰

AUTUMN IN AUGUST Card with Distress Ink and ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers!

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing an autumn inspired card made with the Little Bear Set from Unity Stamps and Distress Ink. Autumn is my favorite season. What is yours? 🍂🍁❤️

Make sure to watch the video below for tips and tricks. Scroll all the way down for a linked supply list.

First, I stamped the bear from the Little Bear Set from Unity Stamps (available for purchase later today or get it as a FREEBIE with your order!) on Canson Watercolor Paper with Archival Jet Black Ink. I colored the bear with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a Pentel Aquash Brush. To be honest, the quality of this water brush has been a bit disappointing to me, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to share!

After covering the colored bear with masking paper, I used Distress Ink to create my autumn inspired blend: Ripe Persimmon, Fossilized Amber and Seedless Preserves. For the grass, I used the Grassy Border Stencil from My Favorite Things and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. To create realistic looking trees, I used the Into the Woods Stencil from Winnie & Walter and Black Soot Distress Ink.

To finish off the card, I added shine with a Spectrum Noir Shimmer Pen and a coat of Crystal Glaze.

That’s it for now! Thank you so much for stopping by. Sending big hugs! ❤️🥰

Hi! I’m very lucky to have a friend who shares my passion for card making. Her name is Marika and we were in school together from Junior High until Senior High. 😄 We often get together to make a card! This time we wanted to get crafty with the Fall Kiddos Set from Sunny Studio and the Slide on Over Dies from Lawn Fawn for an interactive element.

Make sure to watch the video below for tips on how to create a slider card and how to create a beautiful autumn-inspired blended background with Distress Oxide Inks.

First, I stamped and colored images from the Fall Kiddos and Happy Harvest Stamp Sets. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I created an autumn background with Distress Oxide Inks (Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey and Fossilized Amber). These inks are simply a joy to work with!

After finishing my background, I used one of the dies from the Slide on Over Set from Lawn Fawn to create my slider element. It’s not hard at all to create a slider card. Simply create a frame with foam tape, remove the stickiness with kitchen flour (or baby powder!) and grab your penny. Easy!
