Get Well Soon Card Trio

Hello, crafty friends! Tallie here with a trio of get well soon cards, featuring the Get Well Soon Before 'n After stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I have used the smaller stamps and some rainbow patterned papers from Lawn Fawn and Simple Stories to create some bright and cheery greetings!

I started by stamping out the turtle, two birds, whale and several plasters the Get Well Soon Before 'n After stamp set onto some blending cardstock with some MFT Extreme Black ink. I coloured them in with my alcohol markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I chose two different rainbow-themed background papers, a bright one from the Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow pack and the other from the Simple Stories Crafty Girl pack. I adhered these to some A6 top-folding card bases, choosing an orange cardstock for the final card. I die cut some circles from some coordinating card using a MFT Inside & Out Stitched Circles STAX die.

I mixed and matched the sentiments from the set, stamping them on white and using coloured inks or white heat embossing on black cardstock. I either trimmed them out or die cut them with a Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banner die. Some foam tape on the back of the coloured die cuts helped to pop them out from the centre of the circles.

I think this would definitely brighten the day of someone who was under the weather!

A Herd of Birthday Bunnies

Hello, crafters! Tallie here today with a cute little bunny birthday celebration! This uses three different sets - Starry Scene, We Herd and Essential Sentiments - from three different companies - Avery Elle, Waffle Flower and My Favorite Things. It's such a great and simple design that you can customise both colour-wise and scene-wise to your tastes.

I started out by stamping the Starry Scene background onto an A6 card panel with some Distress Oxide inks in Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon and Faded Jeans. Here's a tip: to get a smooth transition between the colours, after inking up the portion of the stamp use an ink blending foam to blur the lines. This worked wonderfully on the Distress Oxides! I set these aside to dry to work on the foreground.

I stamped out the group of bunnies and balloons from the We Herd set in some MFT Extreme Black ink. I coloured these with my alcohol markers, sticking to cool greys and contrasting reds and oranges. I cut these out with the coordinating dies.

I white heat embossed the 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' sentiment from the Essential Sentiments set onto some black card stock and die cut it with a Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banner die.

Using some foam tape, I popped up the pieces over the background panel. I added some of the balloon strings with a black pen and a little bit of Wink of Stella to to add some sparkle to the balloons.

A cute little birthday card scene!

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.

Let's Shell-ebrate!

Hello, Tallie here. I have a manatee-rific card for you today!

I started out by stamping out the manatees and scenery from the Lawn Fawn Manatee-rific set onto some blending cardstock with some MFT Extreme Black ink. I coloured these in with my alcohol markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I then die cut a piece of A6 Lawn Fawn Mermaid Cardstock with the Lawn Fawn Finlay's ABCs. I used an Everyday Sentiment Banner die to cut out the banner and stamp the 'SHELL-EBRATE!' sentiment.

I used a bit of Broken China Distress Ink on the background above the die cut letters to give some interest to the scene and arranged my scene towards the top of the card.

A simple and cute card for any shell-ebration!

Thanks for reading, catch you next week.

Alien Birthday Shadow Box Card

Today I’m sharing a shadow box card featuring the cute aliens from Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up.

 

I usually create a galaxy background when I make space related cards, but I thought it would be fun to use some bright colours this time, to create an alien landscape. 

I chose some patterned paper from my stash and cut two pieces for the box. I die cut a window in one side, then joined the two box pieces together with double side adhesive to get one long piece.

I measured the width of the panel at the back of the box, and cut some clouds to go directly on this panel (The cloud dies I used are out of stock, but I’ve linked to a great alternative below). I added a little pale blue ink to the tops of the clouds, before adhering them directly on the inside of the box. 

Next, I cut two hills from purple patterned paper, using the tab dies that come with the shadow box. I adhered them into the box (just on one side for now). I love the purple alien landscape against the orange sky.

I then coloured lots of images from the Beam Me Up stamp set, adding them to the tabs in the box. I also adhered some images on the inside back and side panels. The planets are from the Lawn Fawn Out of this World stamp set.

Once all the images are in the box, I finished putting the box together. I find it easier to do this part at the end.

For the sentiment, I chose some from the Beam Me Up stamp set, and heat embossed them in white on black card. I then die cut them with some banner dies and adhered them to the box. I’ll add a panel at the back to write a message to the recipient.

The shadow box die is one of my favourite interactive dies. The box is simple to put together, looks great, and fits in a standard size envelope for posting.

Thanks for joining me today,

Gemma
