I started off with the card, and cut an Eyelet Rectangle kraft panel that I stenciled using the Layered Christmas Trees stencils. Every time I stencil on kraft cardstock, I like to create a white base first, so that's what I did using the stencil #1 along with white pigment ink. I shifted that stencil a little bit to the right, and applied mowed lawn oxide ink to create the trees. Next I used the two other stencils to add patterns to the trees using rustic wilderness oxide inks, as well as a trunk below each tree using vintage photo oxide ink.

I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink. I set my panel aside to dry, and started working on my Fringe Trees.

I cut the pieces out of different shades of green cardstock, as well as brown cardstock for the tree trunks, and added patterns to each element using the Mini Polka Dots stencil and Pinstripe stencil for the trees using mowed lawn and rustic wilderness distress inks, and the Deco Leaves stencil for the tree trunks using vintage photo distress ink. I mixed those distress inks with water and added splatters on the different tree pieces, and did the same with copic opaque white ink. I assembled the trees using liquid glue, and then attached them to my Eyelet Rectangle panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Next I cut some extra items using dies from Beautiful Bows and Big Christmas Cupcake that I added to my panel: a bow at the top of the middle tree, presents below each tree, and gold glitter stars on top of two trees and by each present.

For my greeting, I used the Merry Christmas Shadow dies. I cut the shadow out of vellum, as well as "Merry" out of gold glitter cardstock that I attached to the vellum shadow using liquid glue. I also white heat embossed "Christmas" from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on dark brown cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and I attached both pieces on the middle tree using foam squares. Finally, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark green panel that I attached to a card base, and I stuck my panel on top using 1mm foam squares.

For the Fringe Tree tag, I cut the pieces out of the same green cardstock and brown cardstock as before, used the same stencils with the same distress inks to add a pattern to each part of the tree, and then assembled the tree using liquid glue. To make the back of the tag as pretty as the front, I cut an extra large tree, as well as a tree trunk, attached both pieces at the back of my Fringe Tree using 1mm foam squares, making sure to sandwich a piece of twine at the top of the tree to make the handle.

I tied a red double bow that I glued at the top of the tree, and then worked on the greeting using the Holly Jolly Shadow dies. I cut the shadow out of vellum, and cut "Holly jolly" out of gold glitter cardstock that I attached to the vellum shadow using liquid glue, and I stuck the whole piece to the tree using 1mm foam squares. Next I white heat embossed "Happy holidays" from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on dark brown cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die that I attached between "Holly" and "Jolly" using foam squares again.

The Stamp Stop - Artsy Fartsy by The Sassy Club

Hello there,

I'm back with the second card I made as a guest designer for The Stamp Stop, a brand new European retailer for different brands: The Sassy Club, Streamside Studios, The Stamp Market, The Greeting Farm and more to come. They kindly sent me the lovely Artsy Fartsy stamp set by The Sassy Club, and I'm thrilled to be sharing another card featuring that set.

A little note: if there is something you want at The Stamp Stop and it's not available or sold out, make sure to contact them in private on their Instagram page, or directly via the contact form on the website.

I started off by creating the background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. From the top left corner towards the bottom right corner, I applied kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twister citron, salvaged patina and shaded lilac. Next I taped my Lawn Fawn Paint Splatter Background stencil on top of my panel, and applied, from the top left corner towards the bottom right corner, picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet, for a tone on tone look.

I splattered water droplets all over my panel and dried it using a paper towel. I also mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my piece of paper, and I did the same with black soot oxide ink and with fossilized amber distress spritz.

I set my panel aside to dry and stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Detail Black ink by Pinkfresh Studio. I cut them all using my scan 'n machine, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. I also stamped "Color my world" on the canvas, colored the letters and stamped several splatters using Lawn Fawn premium dye inks. And I added the same textures as before on the canvas.

Once the coloring was done, I attached all the images on my rainbow panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and finally applied glossy accents to the color palettes for some extra shine.

Sunny Studio - Beautiful Autumn Season

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back on the Sunny Studio blog with this lovely autumn card featuring some warm and delicious treats from different sets (listed down below), as well as four cheeky kitties from Birthday Cat. Once again, I stenciled my background, stamped and colored my images on kraft cardstock to emphasize the whole autumn vibe of the scene I had in mind. I really love how it turned out, and hope you like it, too!

I started off by stamping my images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. For the Merry Mocha cup, I masked the snowflake, stamped the cup, and then stamped the acorn on the cup to turn my Merry Mocha winter cup into an autumn cup.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Merry Mocha - cup (with the acorn) • Mug Hugs - other cups, candy cane, heart • Beautiful Autumn - acorns, leaves • Bountiful Autumn & Fall Friends - pumpkins • Cruisin' Cuisine - donut • Birthday Cat - cats • Happy Harvest - sunflowers.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and added a plaid texture using the Buffalo Plaid Straight die. And I used the Straight Stripes stencil along with vintage photo and ground espresso oxide inks to color my panel. I white heat embossed "Wishing you a beautiful autumn season" from Beautiful Autumn at the top of my panel, and then attached all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. As always, I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Lawn Fawn - Monochromatic vs Rainbow Halloween Cards

Hi there,

I'm very happy to be back on the Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog with this Halloween card duo showcasing several items from the Fall & Winter 2024 Release: the Spider Web Background stencil, the Strings Of Lights Backdrops and Extra Bulbs Add-On. Today's cards were inspired by the one I created for the September Inspiration Week, and I had so much fun I thought it'd been nice to make two extra cards, but with different color palettes.

I started off by creating the black and white background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I first applied hickory smoke oxide ink in the middle of my panel, I added black soot oxide ink on the four sides, and then mixed both colors using my blending tools back and forth. Once I was happy with the blending, I taped my Spider Web Background stencil on top of my panel, and used the same oxide inks with a heavier hand to create a cool spider web. I added lots pf texture to my panel, set it aside to dry, and moved on to the rainbow background.

On a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, I started off by applying kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, salvaged patina and shaded lilac oxide inks clockwise. Next I taped my Spider Web Background stencil on top of my panel, and applied picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet clockwise for a tone on tone look. And I added lots of texture to my panel as well.

I die cut two Strings Of Lights Backdrop panels: one out of Narwhal cardstock that I stuck to the black and white background using 1mm foam squares, and one out of White cardstock that I attached to the rainbow background using 1mm foam squares as well.

Next I die cut all the light pieces using the Strings Of Lights Extra Bulbs Add-On. For the monochromatic panel, I cut the light bases out of White cardstock, glued them on my gray backdrop, then cut the lights out of Fog, Narwhal, Storm Cloud and Black Licorice cardstock, and attached them on top of the white bases. For the rainbow panel, I die cut the lights out of Guava, Fake Tan, Sunflower, Cilantro, Tide Pool and Sugarplum cardstock, and stuck them to my white backdrop.

To finish each of my panels nicely, I die cut two Stitched Rectangle Frames: one out of Black Textured Canvas cardstock that I stuck to the monochromatic panel using liquid glue, and one out of Turquoise Textured Canvas cardstock that I attached to the rainbow panel using liquid glue as well. Next I applied white blizzard nuvo drop to all the light bulbs, and set my panels aside to dry.

I die cut some candy corn pieces using Build A Cauldron dies, out of Fog, Narwhal and Storm Cloud cardstock for the black and white card, and out of White, Fake Tan and Sunflower cardstock for the rainbow card. I assembled my candy corns using liquid glue, and also cut six spiders out of Storm Cloud and Black Licorice cardstock using a Cute Cobweb die. I stuck the candy corns and spider on my panels using foam squares, and then glued wiggly eyes on the spiders to make them even cuter.

For my greetings, I die cut two Simple Wavy Banners out of Vellum, heat embossed "Hope you have a spooktacular day" from Simply Fall Sentiments using Gold embossing powder on the first banner, and using Black embossing powder on the second. I attached a banner on each panel using liquid glue, and finished both cards with a scattering of mini star confetti.

The Stamp Stop - Artsy Fartsy by The Sassy Club

Hi there,

I'm super happy to be back as a guest designer for The Stamp Stop, a brand new European retailer for different brands: The Sassy Club, Streamside Studios, The Stamp Market, The Greeting Farm and more to come. They kindly sent me the lovely Artsy Fartsy stamp set by The Sassy Club, and I'm happy to be sharing my first card featuring that set, one more card coming very soon.

A little note: if there is something you want at The Stamp Stop and it's not available or sold out, make sure to contact them in private on their Instagram page, or directly via the contact form on the website.

I started off by creating the background on a 5 x 3,75 inches kraft panel using the Lawn Fawn Paint Splatter Background stencil. When I stencil on kraft cardstock, I like to create a white base first, so I tape the stencil on top of my panel and used white pigment ink to create my white base. Next I shifted the stencil a little bit to the right, and used different oxide inks to color each paint splatter: lumberjack plaid, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, peeled paint and peacock feathers. I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters all over the panel, and I did the same with copic opaque white ink and with fossilized amber distress spritz for some shiny accents.

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped the images on kraft cardstock using Detail Black ink by Pinkfresh Studio. I cut them using my scan 'n cut machine, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. I also stamped "Color my world" on the canvas, colored the letters and stamped several splatters using Lawn Fawn premium dye inks. And I added the same textures as before on the canvas.

I attached the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and applied glossy accents on the palette. I die cut the word Friends out of textured yellow cardstock and out of kraft cardstock, I layered both words, attached the whole piece above the easel using 2mm foam squares, and finally stuck my to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light brown woodgrain card base.
