Jawsome Birthday Tank Card

Hello, Tallie here.

I'm back today with a fun underwater scene card combining two Lawn Fawn stamp sets: Duh Nuh and You Are Sublime. An extra layer of acetate makes it more tank-like!

I started out by stamping the characters from both sets in some MFT Extreme Black ink onto some blending cardstock. I then coloured them in with my alcohol markers, keeping to bright greens, oranges and yellows, aware that these would contrast with the blue background. I cut these out with the coordinating dies.

I then coloured two A6 card panels with some Distress Oxide Inks, one in Faded Jeans/Mermaid Lagoon/Broken China and the other in Vintage Photo/Ground Expresso. The blue one I flicked on some water to give the impression of bubbles, blotting it off to get some brighter blobs. The other, I cut twice with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border die. I adhered these pieces together, layering on the coloured die cuts with some foam tape for some dimension. I also added some spots of Glossy Accents to the blue background for some more interest.

To give the impression of looking into a tank, I cut down some acetate so it was 4 cm (just over 1.5 inches) larger than a landscape A6 card base. I scored this so there would be a 1 cm standout when wrapped around the background panel. To secure, I adhered the acetate between the background panel and the card base.

To finish, I combined sentiments from both sets, white heat embossing them onto some black banner strips cut with the Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banner dies.

Thanks for reading, catch you next week.

Ahoy Happy Birthday

I love the Lawn Fawn sets as they include lots of stamps, making scene building fun and easy. Today I’m sharing a card using the Ahoy Matey stamp set.

I began by stamping lots of images from the Ahoy Matey stamp set, then colouring them with alcohol markers. I also stamped an image from the Duh Nuh stamp set, as these sets work so well together.

Once all the images were die cut out, I worked on my background. I love to use kraft card with these sets. I created a stamped map style background, using images from the set. I also added the stitched line image from the Avery Elle Bunting stamp set. I stamped all the images in brushed corduroy distress oxide ink, which gives a nice tone on tone look.

I adhered a strip of patterned paper across the centre of the card, then die cut a circle from white card to create my scene. I used some masking tape to mask an area for the sand, then added some salty ocean distress oxide waves and some tumbled glass distress oxide sky. I then removed the mask and blended on some scattered straw for the sand.

I used my alcohol markers to add details to the sky and sand. Once I’d adhered my images to my scene, I also added some shadows in the same way. I used liquid adhesive for all images apart from the pirate and parrot, which I used some foam tape for dimension.

I added the circle scene to my card, then finished by stamping some sentiments from the Ahoy Matey stamp set.

Have a lovely day,
Gemma

Jawsome Day

Today I’m sharing a fun underwater card, featuring the Lawn Fawn Duh-Nuh stamp set. The star of the show is definitely that gorgeous Avery Elle Waves Cover die, though.

I began by blending distress oxides on to a piece of white card. I used peacock feathers, salty ocean and broken china. I flicked it with water to create the water droplets, then put it aside to dry.

Next, I stamped, coloured and cut out the shark and fish from Lawn Fawn Duh-Nuh stamp set.

Going back to my distress ink panel, I added some stick it adhesive to the reverse, then die cut a circle from it. I ran the circle through my die cutting machine again, this time with the Avery Elle Waves Elle-meant cover die. The stick it adhesive kept the pieces together when I removed it from the cover die.

I used two more circle dies to cut a frame from my distress inked panel. I adhered this to a white card base. I then took the pieces from the circle die cut and adhered them within the frame. I used every other piece of the die cut, to allow the white card base to show in between and the pattern to be more obvious.

Below the wave circle, I stamped a sentiment - a combination of the sentiment in Duh-Nuh and a sentiment from the Reveal Wheel sentiments stamp set.

I added the shark and fish to the circle with foam tape, then embellished the card with a few clear droplets to finish.

Rainbow Set of Cards

Hey stampers, Anni here!

Today I have a set of cards for you in rainbow colours featuring a lot of mini sets by Lawn Fawn.

Lawn Fawn's Aloha

I love these small sets: They have a great prize point, they have all that you need for a card - a cute image and -often a punny- sentiment. AND they are the perfect little gift for the crafty friends in your life.

Lawn Fawn's Happy Summer

I chose six mini sets from my stash (to be honest I have much more) that would go with colours from the rainbow (okay I added in grey).

Lawn Fawn's Duh-Nuh

Then I went through my big pile of patterend paper and picked out papers that went with the images. I die cut My Favorite Things' Stitched Pinking Edge Square STAX out of the papers.

Lawn Fawn's RAWR

When I create a set of course I always do every step for all cards at once: I do all the die cutting, stamp all the images and colour them all in one step. The colour of the papers set the choice of colour for the colouring - I went with a alcohol markers.

Lawn Fawn's Year Two and Tiny Tags Saying: Birthday

I also added in rosie cheeks, a grey ground and I went around the images with an light aqua colour.

Lawn Fawn's Sealed with a Kiss

And in this photo you can see the whole setof cards.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty weekend.

Be a Little Shellfish

Hello, Gemma here on a Monday as I've swapped days with Jenny this week.
This sentiment makes me laugh every time I see it! The Year Six stamp set is another great mini set from Lawn Fawn.

For my card today, I began by cutting square card base, along with a square piece of card the same size. From that, I cut out a MFT peek-a-boo circle window. 

I blended blue ink onto vellum, then cut it with some MFT ocean wave border dies to get two vellum waves. On another piece of vellum, I used a lighter blue ink to create a sky area.

I layered these onto the card base so they would show through the peek-a-boo window. For a sand bank, I die cut a piece of yellow watercolour paper with a Lawn Fawn stitched hillside border die, then layered this onto the card base too.

I added lots of foam tape behind the card panel, then attached it to the card base. Then I added the shellfish with foam tape too, and a little fish from the Lawn Fawn Duh-Nuh stamp set in amongst the waves. Both are coloured with alcohol markers and Wink of Stella glitter. I also added some white gel details to the shellfish.

At this point, I realised that I'd forgotten to add the sentiment! Luckily, a stamp positioner helped me to stamp it without making a mistake.

Thanks for joining me today,

Gemma

A Wave or Two

The Avery Elle Waves Elle-ments die is the star of the show on my post this week. I've created two very different cards to show how versatile cover dies can be.

For the first card, I blended on blue ink to create an ombré effect, I added stick it to the back of the card before running it through my die machine with the waves cover die. I really recommend stick it adhesive sheets for intricate dies like this.

I added the die cut frame to a grey A2 notecard, then added some of the wave pieces back in to the die cut. 

I die cut a vellum tag, heat embossed a greeting onto it from the Avery Elle Sentimental Too stamp set, then added a glitter die cut from the Sentimental Too die set. Some enamel dots finish this card.

It seemed a shame to waste the other blue wave pieces I didn't use on that card, so I used them to create another waves card with a very different look to the first.

I die cut the waves cover die again, this time from white card. I popped out all the pieces and added just the frame to a white notecard. I then added the blue wave pieces into the gaps they fit.

I added Images from Lawn Fawn Mermaid For You and Duh Nuh to create an underwater scene. I finished the card with a tag sentiment.

Two very different looks from the same cover die. I love both these cards - do you have a favourite?

Thanks for joining me today,

Gemma
