Lawn Fawn - Make a Wish Hot Foil Birthday Cards

Hello there,

I'm back on Lawn Fawn YouTube channel & blog with this duo of birthday cards showcasing several new products from Summer release. Birthday cards are the ones I need the most throughout the year to send to family and friends, but I always find myself not having enough. So I created those two cards that share the same design, they're pretty quick to make, only the colors are changing, and there are only a very few images to color, which is quite unusual for me, right?

I started off by stamping my images from Simply Celebrate More Critters on Transotype perfect coloring paper using jet black ink, I colored the cute critters using my Graph’it brush markers + Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers, and then cut them using the coordinating dies.

Next I moved on to the backgrounds. I gold hot foiled two Strathmore bristol smooth panels using the Confetti Background Hot Foil Plate, and colored them using oxide inks. I used squeezed lemonade + dried marigold + kitsch flamingo + picked raspberry on the first panel, and then squeezed lemonade + twisted citron + pine needle + chipped sapphire on the second panel.

Next I die cut two Let’s celebrate backdrops out of white cardstock, as well as a bunch of colorful decorative pieces that I attached on each backdrop using liquid glue. Once each backdrop was decorated, I attached them on the hot foil panels using 1mm foam squares, and then die cut two woodgrain frames that I stuck on each panel as well.

I die cut four Giant Make a Wish greetings: a light blue one, a light yellow one, and two white ones. I attached the white ones at the back of the colored ones to create an outline, I added gold glitter stars and attached those giant greetings in the upper part of my panels using 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed two "It's your birthday" sentiments from Offset Sayings Everyday on chocolate bar banners, attached those banners at the bottom of my panels, and then stuck my critters above those banners using foam squares again. And as always I finished both card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Lawn Fawn - Foiling with Regular Dies - Happy New Year Gold & Black Card

 Hello there,

I'm back with my last Lawn Fawn video of the year, let's celebrate 2023 a little bit early with some cute kitties, balloons and champagne!

As very often I started off with the coloring. I stamped my the images using Jet black ink, used the coordinating dies to cut them all and colored everything using my alcohol markers in gold, grey and black.

Next I gold foiled a Black licorice piece of paper using the Snowy backdrop, and then cut it into a 5,5" x 4,25" panel. I also cut my Simple diagonal stripes floor, and finished it nicely with a Picket fence stripe. I attached those elements at the bottom of my gold foiled panel using double sided tape, and then gold heat embossed my "Happy New Year" greeting on a Simple wavy banner.

I cut two Cheers scripty words: a gold glitter one and a vellum one. I layered both pieces on top of each other, and then attached all the elements and images on my panel using foam squares. And as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

Christmas in July w/ Spellbinders - Foil & Poinsettias

 Hi there,

I'm back with more Christmas in July inspiration. Today's cards feature some new products by Spellbinders, and for the first time I'm sharing a process video in which I use the Glimmer Hot Foil System.

I picked three colored cardstock by The Stamp Market to create three different cards using the same pattern: dark green, turquoise & white. I cut a 5,25 x 4" panel out of each colored cardstock, and started by foiling each panel using the Crossed lines card front glimmer plate. I paired each panel with a type of foil: dark green + Polished Brass Foil, turquoise + Silver Foil, and white + Matte Gold Foil. Once each panel was foiled, I attached each of them on a matching 5,5 x 4,25" card base using foam mounted tape.

I also foiled three different Merry Glimmer Sentiments on black cardstock using the same three types of foil as before, I cut them using the coordinating dies, and then stuck a sentiment in the middle of each card using foam squares.

Next I created poinsettias using the Jasmine die set to decorate each card. For the dark green card, I went with red poinsettias, for the turquoise card I went with light blue poinsettias, and for the white card I went with a rainbow set of poinsettias. I also added some shine to those flowers using mirror cardstock, and as for the center pieces, I cut them all using dies from the Simply Perfect Layered Blooms die set.

I arranged the poinsettias on each card, and glued them using foam squares again, and for the final details, I added a few jewels on each panel.

Celebrating Spellbinders 20th Birthday

Hey there,

Today is a very special day because Spellbinders celebrates its 20th birthday! What an incredible milestone, congratulations!!

Spellbinders is launching a Birthday Celebration Collection to celebrate this event, and I'm thrilled to join the party with those two birthday cards that feature the Color Block Balloons die set, Hand Drawn Scallops embossing folder and Birthday Unboxing Glimmer plates.

I went all rainbow, and even added vellum balloons that I gold foiled using the Twinkle Lights Hot Foil plate to give the illusion of clear balloons full of big gold confetti.

It was my very first time using the hot foil technique, so I don't have any process video to offer, but I loooved it, so I will definitely share videos using that technique in the future!

Happy birthday, Spellbinders!

Isabel Cristina Stamps - Frozen

Hello there,

Today I'm sharing two cards i made using a new digital set by Isabel Cristina Stamps. It's called Winter Princess and is all about the disney movie Frozen. Here's a close-up look at the set:

A quick note about Isabel Cristina digital sets: easy print pages are included in her sets and the images already have the perfect size. No need to edit them on a computer.

When I use digital stamps, I always print the images on Neenah solar white cardstock using my Epson printer. It is a pretty old ink jet printer but it does the job perfectly. 

For the card featuring Elsa and her castle, I first colored her using my spectrum noir markers. Frozen is a very famous movie and the characters are super popular but still, I had a picture of them on my phone to make sure I was using the right colors ^^

Using the same markers and a white gel pen, I added a bunch of tiny dots on the shadows to give the illusion of sparkles.  

To create the castle, I folded in half a large piece of masking paper, drew some basic shapes and lines and cut it. I attached the masking castle on a bristol panel using a T ruler to make sure it was centered and straight.

I also cut a hill shape from masking paper and attached it at the bottom of my panel.

I used tumbled glasse and peacock feathers oxide inks to create the sky, and applied sugar glitter paste by using a snowflake stencil.

For the sentiment I print another page using a laser printer, cut the sentiment I wanted to use, placed it in a folded paper with a piece of silver foil on top and put it through my laminator. Its a cheap one I bought a few months ago at my local supermarket.

To make it more resistant I attached the copy paper sentiment on a piece of cardstock, cut another masking hill border that I attached at the bottom of my panel and applied tumbled glass oxide ink. This way Elsa isn't floating in the air ^^

I attached the sentiment and image using foam adhesive squares, added a bunch of sequins and a snowflake at the top of the castle, and attached my panel to a white card base to finish the card.

For the second card, I colored the rest of the images: Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven. I added some details on Anna's clothes, trying to match the movie.

I took my printed copy paper, cut the bottom with the big sentiment and snowflakes, and die cut a stitched rectangle from it.

I placed the panel with the silver foil on top in a folded paper, and put it through my laminator.  Next i attached it to some cardstock to make it more resistant.

I die cut a scallop rectangle from shinny paper, attached it to a white card base.

Next I attached the foiled panel. And then the images using foam adhesive squares to finish this second card.

Holiday Card Series 2017 - Simple Foiling

Hello there,

Today I'm sharing with you four foiled cards. They're very simple, but foil makes them very shiny and so beautiful I think.

So I first started by editing the digital images and sentiments on my computer using Photoshop, and then printing them on my laser printer.

Framed the panels using a scalloped rectangle die.

Next I covered each panel with a sheet of foil, and put them through my laminator. And tadaaaa!

Attached each panel to a white card base using fun foam to add some nice dimension, and that was it.

Craftin Desert Divas - New Year's Eve

Hey there,

Today I'm sharing with you a festive card showcasing the new "Celebration Trolls" stamp set + "Octagon" die set. I think this stamp set is perfect for every occasion, not just for new year's eve. I mean, any excuse is good to put on fancy clothes, drink champagne (responsibly, of course) and dance, right? ^^

First step was creating the background, and for that I splattered a bunch of reactive mist on a piece of white cardstock. Once it was dry, I covered the panel with a sheet of gold foil, placed everything in a folded copy paper and put it through my laminator. The heat helped the foil sticking to the dry mist droplets.

Second step was creating little windows to place my little characters on. So I die cut one big octagon and two smaller ones. Glued the three pieces on a piece of gold accents vellum and trimmed the excess.

Third step was coloring all my images using alcohol markers, and fussy them. Glued the bigger octagon in the middle of my foiled panel, and the smaller ones on the left and right. Attached my sentiment at the center of these small octagons using foam squares, and did the same thing with my images using the same adhesive.

Finally I added some touches of clear glitter on the clothes and accessories because every party need sparkles!

Valentine Card - Foiled Hearts

Hey there,

Today is day 1 of Craftin Desert Divas December Sneak Peek Week! I'm so excited because the new supplies are just amazingly cute! Here is my first card for this release using three new things: Hearts Galore stencil + Hug & Kisses stamp set + Nested Hearts die set. It's pink, and you almost could see your face in the mirror hearts! ^^

Now to the process: I first started by applying a thin layer of deco foil transfer gel on a piece of light pink cardstock using an awesome new heart stencil. Let it dry completely (you know it is when the gel is totally translucent), and then I applied the pink foil using my laminator.

I colored my image using alcohol markers, and fussy cut it. To kind of frame my image, I die cut a heart from white cardstock, glued it on vellum, trimmed the excess and attached it in the middle of my panel.

Attached my image and sentiment, added some little die cut hearts and sequins, and applied clear glitter on the troll hair to finish the card.

Halloween Card Series 2017 - Spooky Rosette - Sentiment Background

Hey there!

Today I'm sharing this last Halloween card on Craftin Desert Divas blog. You might think there're too much things on this card but I definitely cannot help myself: my cards need to be overloaded LOL

I first started by editing my sentiment background in Photoshop and printed it on a violet paper. My printer didn't want to work with cardstock so I used thin paper (like regular copy paper). Please note that you need to use a laser printer so the foil can adhere at the next step (I tried with my jet ink printer but it didn't work)

Once printed, I covered my piece of violet paper with a silver foil sheet (with the silver side facing up), put everything into a folded copy paper, and put it through my laminator. Then I removed the silver foil sheet to bring a beautiful shiny background out. See the result in the video, it's really cool!

And finally to thicken that panel, I attached it to a black card base using black cardstock.

To build the rosette, I cut three large strips of plaid pattern paper, each one measuring 15x5cm (or 6x2"). On each strip, I scored a line every one centimeter, folded all the lines up and down and attached the three pieces together at their ends.

I formed the rosette, secured it with hot glue and finally attached it to my foiled background using my hot glue gun again.

I die cut a scalloped circle from black glitter cardstock that I glued on a piece of vellum to add a little frame behind my spooky scene, and attached it on the paper rosette using a large glue dot. The haunted house and pumpkins were already colored from a previous project, so I just colored the little ghost using my alcohol markers.

I cut a thin sentiment banner from a pattern paper, attached it to black glitter banner and finally glued the whole piece at the bottom of my black glitter circle. I glued my images in place using little glue dots, and to finish the card, I die cut and glued some stars and circles from black glitter cardstock.
