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.

Birthday Envelopes

Hey stampers, Anni here!

When you are following this blog on a regular basis you might have heard about my nephews! I have four! All in the age between 14 and 21 - not easy to make cards for. But I have to say I am lucky. They appreciate the handmade cards they get from their aunt!

Today two of them (twins) turn 18 - yeah, majority! For this occassion I made two small envelopes to put the gift in it.

For these envelopes I used Mama Elephant's Venice Envelope. I decorated them matching the hobbies of my nephews.
The first one likes to go fishing. So I went with Lawn Fawn's You Are Sublime. To personalize the envelope I added the age using My Favorite Things' Little Numbers.

The second one likes to paint - Concord & 9th Crafty die for the win. I sprinkled the background with paint for a little bit of an artsy look.

On the backside of the envelopes I added one of the hearts from Lawn Fawn's Heart Dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a crafty weekend.
Anni

      

   

Sublime Birthday

Hello, Tallie here with a super sublime birthday card!

I started by inking up three panels of card with Broken China, Salty Ocean and Antique Linen with some Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered some clean water drops onto each panel and left to dry. Once dry, I cut the darker blue panel with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Wave border and the sandy panel with a Stitched Hillside Border.

On some watercolour cardstock, I stamped out the images from the Lawn Fawn You Are Sublime set and coloured them in with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers, cutting them out with the coordinating dies. Of course, I had to have a yellow submarine!

I adhered the background panels to a card base and popped up the die cut images with some foam tape. I kept it super simple with the sentiment, white heat embossing a sentiment from the set on some black card stock.

A super sublime birthday card!

Thanks for reading, catch you next week.
