Lawn Fawn - Bold & Bright Butterflies

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this trio of colorful and bold butterfly themed cards featuring a mix & match of Lawn Fawn items from different years: the gorgeous Butterfly Background stencil set and the Scripty Thinking Of You die + Outline Add-On from the February 2026 release, and the amazing Layered Butterflies die set from an older release to create three magnificent butterflies. Three pretty simple cards, easy and quick to mass produce, but still very catchy for the eye with the contrast between the black elements and the bright colors.

I started off by creating my three backgrounds. I cut three panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables die, and on each panel I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape.

On each panel I first created a soft cloudy background using the Cloudy stencil along with oxide inks: scattered straw for the orange butterfly card, salvaged patina for the blue butterfly card and kitsch flamingo for the purple butterfly card. Next I used the Butterfly Background stencil set on each panel to create three gorgeous butterfly patterns:

• on the orange butterfly card, I applied fossilized amber oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of orange in the center of each butterfly using ripe persimmon oxide ink, used my fossilized amber blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated that process until I was happy with the blending. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added texture to my panel: I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with Liquid Stardust,

• on the blue butterfly card, I applied salvaged patina oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of turquoise in the center of each butterfly using peacock feathers oxide ink, used my salvaged patina blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated the process several times. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added the same texture I added to my first panel,

• on the purple butterfly card, I applied picked raspberry oxide ink with stencil #1, added a bit of purple in the center of each butterfly using wilted violet oxide ink, used my picked raspberry blending tool to mix the colors, and repeated the process several times. I removed the stencil #1 and lined up the stencil #2 on top of the butterflies and applied black soot oxide ink all over the stencil. I removed that second stencil and added the same texture I added to the other panels.

When they were dry, I cut three Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables panels out of Black Licorice cardstock, attached each butterfly panel to one of those black panels using double sided sticky tape, and then each black panel to a matching card base.

Next I cut my Layered Butterflies pieces: three intricate butterfly wings out of Black Licorice cardstock, three whole butterflies out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, three whole butterflies out of Vellum, and nine butterfly bodies out of Storm Cloud cardstock.

With the nine butterfly bodies, I created three bodies just by sticking three bodies on top of each other using liquid glue. On the vellum butterflies, I added white splatters. On each white panel, I used the same oxide inks as the ones I used to make the backgrounds and added the same textures. And when everything was dry, I assembled my three butterflies: I attached each body to an intricate butterfly, each intricate butterfly to a colorful butterfly using liquid glue, each colorful butterfly to a vellum butterfly, all of this using liquid glue. When the glue was dry, I bent the wings of each butterfly to add dimension, and finally stuck a black pearl at the top of each butterfly's body.

Next I created three identical greetings using the Scripty Thinking Of You die and the Scripty Thinking Of You Outline Add-On. For each card, I cut the shadow element out of Vellum, and cut "Thinking Of You" three times out of Black Licorice cardstock. I attached each word on top of each other to get some nice dimension, and then stuck them to the vellum shadow piece using liquid glue. Finally I attached a butterfly and a greeting to each card using foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Decorative Shamrock

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back with this St Patrick themed card showcasing shamrock items from Pretty Pink Posh. As very often I was inspired by pattern papers to pick the color palette, here it's the St Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pack by Echo Park, and it was so much fun to assemble my Decorative Shamrock. And I'll have another St Patrick themed card for you guys in a couple of days, so stay tuned!

I started off by cutting a large Pinking Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, covered the whole panel with spun sugar oxide ink, and created a fun clover pattern using the Layered Shamrocks stencil set along with worn lipstick, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, mowed lawn and broken china oxide inks. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with liquid stardust. Next I removed the washi tape, cut a dark green polka dot 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel, attached it to a white card base using double sided sticky tape, and stuck my shamrock panel on top using 1mm foam tape.

Next I worked on my Decorative Shamrock. First, I used the intricate die multiple times to cut all the tiny shapes out of different pattern papers & cardstock from the Echo Park St Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pack, and gold glitter cardstock as well. I cut the front piece out of a light green pattern paper from the Lawn Fawn Spiffy Speckles 6x6 paper pack, and added texture to it: white splatters, fossilized amber distress spritz splatters and rustic wilderness distress ink splatters. I cut three identical "middle" pieces out of white cardstock, and cut the base piece out of white cardstock. I attached one of the "middle" pieces to the base using liquid glue, stuck all the tiny pieces inside each space using liquid glue again, attached the two remaining "middle" pieces on top of my panel, and finally the front piece, still using liquid glue.

I cut a large Eyelet Circle panel out of vellum, added white splatters to it, and when dry, stuck it to my Layered Shamrocks panel using 1mm foam squares, and then attached my Decorative Shamrock to the vellum panel using 1mm foam squares again.

Next I worked on my greeting and used the Lucky Shadow die set to create the first part of it. I cut the shadow piece out of white cardstock, the word "Lucky" out of white cardstock three times and out of gold glitter cardstock one time. I attached the three white "Lucky" words on top of each other using liquid glue, stuck the gold glitter word on top, attached the whole piece to the white shadow element using liquid glue again, and then stuck the word at the bottom of my card using 1mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed "To be your friend" from Lucky To Know You on dark pink cardstock, cut it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached that banner below "Lucky" using foam squares.

Next I used Lucky Holder Additions dies to cut the hat pieces out of dark grey cardstock, gold glitter cardstock and pattern paper, the coin and the clovers, and used Valentine Bucket Additions dies to cut an additional heart that I stuck to the largest clover. I assembled the hat, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to the clovers, white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the coin, and when everything was dry, I attached those elements to the card using foam squares. Finally I picked a white heart from the Valentine Hearts confetti mix that I attached to the small clover.

Pretty Pink Posh - Hummingbird Floral Shadow Box

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this lovely Pretty Pink Posh Shadow Box showcasing the absolutely gorgeous hummingbirds and flowers from Hummingbird Floral. What a stunning set, I love it so much! I've made this card last year, when the hummingbird themed items were released, but somehow I had totally forgotten about it. So it's about time to finally share it with you guys!

It was my first time using the Shadow Box, so I started off right away with it, and cut two main panels out of light brown woodgrain cardstock. I added a little bit of vintage photo distress ink to the edges of each panel, mixed some of that ink with water and added brown splatters all over the panels with a slim brush, and then did the same with white ink.

While both of my Shadow Box panels were drying, I created the background of my box, cut a 4 x 3 inches kraft panel, added some texture to this panel using the Scallops Pierced plate, and then created a floral pattern using the Layered Blooming Vines stencil set along with saltwater taffy, fossilized amber and spiced marmalade oxide inks for the flowers, mowed lawn oxide ink for the greenery, and broken china oxide ink for the small polka dots.

I also cut two grass borders out of green cardstock using other dies from the Shadow Box die set, added a little bit of mowed lawn distress ink to the pointy edges to darken the borders, mixed that same ink with water and added green splatters to each grass border, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I assembled my Shadow Box, attached the floral panel to the background on the inside using liquid glue, and stuck my grass borders as well. And I wanted to add a decorative frame to the front of my box, so, still using dies from the Shadow Box die set, I cut a scalloped rectangle out of a yellow pattern paper, cut a large opening out of this yellow panel, and then attached my scalloped frame to the box using liquid glue.

I stamped all the images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. Here is a small detailed list of the stamp sets I used : • Hummingbird Floral - hummingbird, large orange flowers, floral clusters, small pink flowers, greenery • Simple Thanks - large greenery, small yellow flowers

Once everything was colored, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. Next I attached the images inside the Shadow Box, directly to the grass inserts using foam squares, as well as on the outside of the box, most of them on the front, but I also added a small floral cluster on each side of the box for more cuteness. Finally, I white heat embossed "You're an amazing friend" from Friend Greetings on brown cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached it inside the box, directly to the background, using 1mm foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Spring Chick Shaker Card

Hey there,

I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this bright and cheerful card featuring some of the brand new items from the Pretty Pink Posh February 2026 release. As I've already mentioned in previous blog posts, I'm a huge fan of the Shaker Collection, and that Chick Shaker caught my attention right away, it's such a cutie!

I started off by cutting a large Pinking Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, covered the whole panel with tumbled glass oxide ink, and then added a fun pattern using the Mini Checker stencil along with broken china oxide ink. Next I mixed copic opaque white ink with water, added white splatters to my panel using a slim brush, and then did the same with tumbled glass distress spritz for some sparkles.

While my panel was drying, I worked on my Chick Shaker and assembled it just like any other shaker item I've made in the past, following those steps:

1. I cut a Chick Shaker frame out of a multicolored stripe pattern paper, cut a whole chick out of acetate, and attached that acetate panel at the back of the multicolored frame using liquid glue,

2. Still at the back of the multicolored frame, I attached foam strips all around it, following the rounded edges of the chick,

3. I poured a bunch of Bunny Hop shaker beads inside the chick,

4. I cut another whole chick out of a yellow pattern paper, added white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to that yellow panel,

5. When dry, I attached my yellow panel to the foam strips to totally close my Chick Shaker.

Next I added a few more details to my Chick Shaker. I cut two small hearts out of pink cardstock using a Valentine Bucket Additions die, cut the beak and feet out of orange cardstock using other Chick Shaker dies, and picked two giant googly eyes from my stash. I stuck the beak and the heart cheeks using 1mm foam squares, peeled the backing papers off the eyes and attached them as well, and then stuck the feet using liquid glue. For more cuteness, I applied glossy accents to the beak and feet, white blizzard nuvo drops to the heart cheeks, and set my Chick Shaker aside to dry.

I cut all the Stitched Spring Flowers out of colored cardstock and pattern papers, added texture to each piece using liquid stardust, copic opaque white ink, fossilized amber distress spritz, and when everything was dry, I assembled all the flowers and greenery using foam squares.

Next I cut a Pierced Leafy Vines panel out of kraft cardstock, stuck it to a matching card base using double sided sticky tape, and attached my Mini Checker panel on top using 1mm foam tape. I stuck my Stitched Spring Flowers on both sides of the card in a symmetrical way using foam squares again, gave them more interest by bending the petals a little bit with my fingers, and then attached my cute Chick Shaker right in the middle of the card using more foam squares. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Bright Spring Wishes" from Easter Banner Greetings, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 3 die, and stuck that banner to the Chick Shaker using foam squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Watering Can Shaker Card

Hi there,

I'm super happy to be back with this lovely Spring card showcasing several items from the Pretty Pink Posh February 2026 Release. A fun and colorful shaker card that makes you feel that Spring has finally arrived!

I started off by working on the card base and cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I masked the stitched and eyelet edges off with washi tape and covered the entire panel with spun sugar oxide ink. Next I used Layered Watering Can stencil set along with broken china, shaded lilac, mowed lawn, worn lipstick, spiced marmalade and fossilized amber oxide inks to create a lovely background. This background ends up mostly covered by all the elements on the card, but it still adds colors and cuteness behind the bunny, watering can and flowers.

I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel. I did the same with worn lipstick distress spritz and then with spiced marmalade distress spritz for a touch of sparkles. I removed the washi tape, let my panel dry, and then attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches blue panel using 1mm foam tape.

Next I worked on the Watering Can Shaker, and build it like any of the other Pretty Pink Posh Shakers I've created in the past:

1. First I cut a Watering Can Shaker frame out of a multicolored stripe pattern paper,

2. I cut a whole watering can out of vellum, and attached it at the back of the frame using liquid glue,

3. Still at the back of the frame, I attached foam sticky strips all along the frame, following the shape of the watering can,

4. I poured a bunch of Bunny Hop shaker beads on the vellum,

5. I cut another whole watering can out of the same blue cardstock as the card base, and attached it to the foam strips to totally close my Watering Can Shaker,

6. I cut the watering can handle out of purple cardstock, added white splatters to it, and once dry, stuck it to my Watering Can Shaker using 1mm foam squares,

7. Finally I cut the watering can head out of the same blue cardstock again, added white splatters to it, and stuck it using 1mm foam squares.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces I needed to complete my card out of colored cardstock, white cardstock, pattern papers and vellum. I added white splatters to the tulips, leaves, branches, butterflies, bunny, paws and bows. Added liquid stardust splatters to the daisies, vellum butterflies and bows. Added fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the daisies center pieces, and vintage photo distress spritz splatters to the butterflies bodies. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used:

• Stitched Spring Flowers - tulips, daisies, leaves, branches • Springtime Holder Additions - butterflies • Bunny Holder - bunny • Bear Holder - bunny snout • Big Easter Cupcake - bunny paws • Valentine Bucket Additions - heart cheeks • Easter Bunny Mugs - bows.

I assembled the flowers, leaves and butterflies using foam squares and liquid glue, assembled the bunny's face and gave him a pair of googly eyes, and then I attached everything to my card using foam squares, starting with the flowers behind the bunny, next the bunny, the Watering Can Shaker, the Stitched Spring Flowers cluster at the bottom, the butterflies and then the bunny's paws.

I white heat embossed "Hello Spring" from Spring Blooms on yellow cardstock, cut it using the matching die and attached it to the watering can using foam squares again. To finish my card, I applied glossy accents to the bunny's nose and white blizzard nuvo drops to the heart cheeks.
