Aloha

Hi everyone,

Well Fall is here and it's my favourite time of the year. There's a slight chill in the air and the leaves are slowly starting to change colours.

Our daughter recently moved to Hawaii where the temperature is still quite hot and the palm leaves blow in the wind. I made this card with her in mind.

I used a Newton's Nook stencil and a couple of ink colours to create the background which I ran through my die cutting machine to add the border around the card.

I stamped the sweet little Mama Elephant monkeys and coloured them using Copics. I didn't purchase the die set so I had to fussy cut the images.

The Lawn Fawn sentiment was die cut with green cardstock and also a piece of dark brown glitter cardstock to add a little accent behind the die piece.

The whole panel was mounted onto a green card base using a sheet of foam.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Supplies:

Newton's Nook

Mama Elephant

MFT Die-namics

Lawn Fawn

Wink of Stella

Copics

My love of Sunny Studio stamps

Hi everyone,

I have a couple of cards to share that I created using the fun stamps and dies from Sunny Studio Stamps. I just love the realistic effect of these stamps. They all look good enough to eat!

For my first card I used the Sunny Studio Two Scoops stamp and die set.
I stamped the ice cream scoops and cones in 3 different ink colours and gave each of the scoops a bit of Wink of Stella sparkle.
I die cut a frame from some patterened paper and foam mounted the cones to a background of Lawn Fawn paper. Added the sentiment to complete this card.

For my second card I used the Sunny Studio Berry Bliss stamp and die set. I embossed the base of the card with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I used a MFT Die-namics frame die and some patterned paper to make the frame. Added white squares behind each raspberry and popped them up with some foam tape. Stamped the sentiment and that's it for this card.

Easter pop up cards

Hi everyone,

I have had the Scalloped Box Card Pop-Up die set from Lawn Fawn probably since last summer but just decided lately to pull it out and make a couple of Easter card boxes for my Yoga/Pilates instructors' 2 grandchildren.

I must admit that I didn't break any speed records making these as it took me quite some time to do both. It was definitely worth the time though as I am over the moon happy with how both of them turned out.

Thought these would be perfect also to enter in the current Lawn Fawnatics 'Color Inspiration' challenge found here.



Here are my card boxes.

I started by diecutting and assembling the box first and then added patterned paper panels to the four top pieces of the box that show when the box is open and panels to three sides of the box when folded close.

I stamped and coloured all the images on Copic friendly paper and used the matching dies to cut them out.  Die cut the grassy borders and added them to the inside of each box.

I used thin strips of clear plastic to mount some of the images so that they wobble when you shake the box and directly adhered the other images to the box and grass.

Added some glossy accents to the eggs on the front panel and Wink of Stella to all the other eggs. Added Stickles glitter to each of the bows on the rabbits, some liquid applique to the bunny tails and ears and googly eyes to the bunnies.

And voila. As I was so pleased with the results that I can see myself making a few more of these in the near future. Stay tuned!

Well that's it for these boxes and thanks for stopping by.
