Heffy Doodle - Double Slider Birthday Surprise Card

Hello there,

I am super happy to be back with my second card as a guest designer for Heffy Doodle! I’m an interactive card fan so I made a slider card featuring some cute otters.

To create this card, I used the Double Slider Surprise die set by Lawn Fawn and I first started by cutting all the different elements out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock: 2 pocket panels, 2 small panels and a track piece.

On a small panel and top of a pocket panel, I used the Cloudy Skies stencil along with tumbled glass distress ink to build a pretty and light sky. And I added texture to those clouds by splattering water first, and then drops of tumbled glass and peacock feathers distress inks mixed with water.

For the water section, I blended squeezed lemonade, cracked pistachio and peacock feathers distress inks on the same pocket panel as well as on the second small panel. I splattered water drops on those water sections, and like the sky I added more drops using cracked pistachio and peacock feathers distress inks mixed with water.

Next I built the interactive part of the card, and I invite you to watch the video at the end to see how it was done. Images are more understandable than words when it comes to assembling a lot of things ^^

All my images were stamped on neenah solar white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink and colored using my  alcohol markers. I used a few sets to help me to create this card:

– Otter Side (otters, rock and sentiment)

– Gnome Matter What (flowers and dragonflies)

– Quack Me Up (sun and clouds)

– Big Bug Hugs (heart leaves)

When the coloring was done, I attached everything using a combination of glue dots and liquid glue. I stamped my sentiment “Have an otterly wonderful birthday” on the bottom section of the card, and attached a handle to be able to open and close it.

For the card base, I layered three different papers and attached my slider pocket on top of it using foam tape, and finally I added teeny tiny white drops in the center of each flower.

Thank you so much Lesley for having me as a guest designer, it was a great pleasure and I had an amazing time creating projects for Heffy Doodle!

Hello Bluebird - In The Carrot Field

Hello there,

Today I'm sharing with you a new card for Hello Bluebird and it features some cute bunnies harvesting carrots. Hope you'll like it!

So I started by cutting a bristol panel measuring 8,5 x 4". And I used scattered straw, tumbled glass and salty ocean distress inks to create the sky.

For the bottom of my card, I wanted to have several rows of carrots so I cut three hills using the Hill and Dale die set. And to color those hills I used gathered twigs and ground espresso distress inks. When it was done, I also added a bunch of white dots using a posca pen to bring more contrast.

Next I cut a grass border using the Grassy Knoll die set and I colored it using shabby shutters and peeled paint distress inks.

I stamped the Farmland Background on my panel using a light beige ink, and next I white heat embossed my sentiment "Wishing you a day full of happy" from the Happy Wishes stamp set at the top of my panel.

Next I attached the borders at the bottom of my panel: the grass border first using double sided tape and next the hill borders using foam tape to bring dimension to the scene.

I stamped, cut and colored my images from the Meadow Bunnies and Spring Gatherings stamp sets, and next I attached everything using foam squares and glue dots.

I cut a light blue card base and attached my panel on it and finally I added a few morning dew drops in the top section.

Lawn Fawn - A Magic Iris Shaker Card

Hey there,

I am back with a new magic iris card. I really love to create that kind of card, but on today's project, I went next level and created a magic iris -shaker- card. Can sound impressive but it was very easy to make!

Like always, I used a bunch of stamp set die sets to create my card and you will find all the supplies at the end of this post.

I started with the coloring. I first stamped the images on white cardstock using jet black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies and then I colored everything using my alcohol markers.

Next I moved on to the front panel. I used the cover plate die from the magic iris add-on to cut it, as well as the arrow tab. I temporarily taped those two pieces at the back using washi tape, and next I used the cloudy stencil along with tumbled glass distress ink to create a nice and subtle background.



To ground the scene, I cut a grass border using the grassy border die, as well as a wavy border using the stitched simple wavy border die set. I colored the grass border using shabby shutters and mowed lawn distress inks, and I colored the wavy border using antique linen and vintage photo distress inks. Next I attached those two elements at the bottom of my front panel.

Next I created the magic iris shaker element, and I invite you to watch the video at the end of this post to see how I did this. It will be easier to understand with the process ^^



Next I cut a card base out of ballet slippers cardstock and attached on top of it a stitched panel that was cut out of a paper from the Really Rainbow Christmas paper pack using a die from the large stitched rectangle stackables die set.

I cut a pink circle using the cover plate die and the same pink paper as the magic iris, and I stamped my sentiment, "You're the Sweetest Friend", from the Sweet Friends stamp set on it. I placed my front panel on the card base and tucked my sentiment right in the circle in the middle to stick it to the card base.



Next I took the magic iris and on the front of it I applied double sided tape, on the three stabilizers and on the rest of the ring as well. I removed the backing paper and placed the Iris behind the front panel. I made sure to line up both the circle in the middle and the tab at the top right hand corner and I pressed down to connect everything perfectly.

Next I placed the shaker material on the sentiment: strawberry slices made out of polymer clay, sequins and colored strawberries as well. At the back of the front panel I applied enough layers of foam squares to get the same height as the foam ring, I also applied liquid glue on this foam ring, I kept the iris open and then I attached my panel to the card base, making sure to line up the window with the sentiment.



Before attaching the images, the jar still an inside, so I used the cover plate die to cut a circle out of a piece of the same pink paper and I attached the jar on this piece of pink paper, I trimmed off the excess and next I stuck everything on the card.

I cut the arrow out of the same red paper as the background and glued it on the tab, and finally, I added some clear droplets in the sky. They bring an extra touch of shine but do not compete with the rest of the scene.

Heffy Doodle - You are my sunshine - Magic Picture Changer Card

Hey there,

I'm so happy to be a guest designer for Heffy Doodle. I have a card for today, also on Heffy Doodle blog, and I will share a second card very soon.

So for this first card, I used three stamp sets to help me build this cute scene: Quack Me Up, Otter Side and Gnome Matter What, as well as the Grassy Lass border die set. And I also used the Magic Picture Changer die set and addon by Lawn Fawn to create an interactive card.

Like always when I create a magic picture changer card, I started with the background. And to make a cloudy and rainy sky, I first applied hickory smoke distress ink on most of the panel, and next I added black soot distress ink at the very top to darken the sky.

Next I added texture to my panel. I first splattered water on the panel and dried it using a paper towel. Next I smooshed my ink pads onto my glass mat, I added water and then I splattered drops of those inks on the panel: hickory smoke all over the paper and black soot just at the top and sides.



Next I moved on to the magic picture changer element. So I cut two pieces of Strathmore bristol cardstock: a long one for the pocket die and a short one for the moving piece die. Like always I marked the windows using a pencil, and then I moved on to the stamping. On the long panel I stamped a cloud, and on the short one I stamped the sun.

Next I masked both images and colored around them using hickory smoke only. Like the background I splattered water on those two panels, as well as hickory smoke drops using a thin brush. I removed the masks, and stamped some raindrops below the cloud using hickory smoke distress ink again. And next I quickly colored the sun and the cloud using my alcohol markers.



When the coloring was done, I taped the dies on the panels and sent them to my die cutting machine. Next I folded the tabs on the pocket panel using a bone folder and applied double sided tape on those tabs, front and back. I removed the backing paper from the inside and folded the tabs again to stick them.

Next I folded the pocket panel in half right on the score line, I applied some powder on the flaps and along the tabs as well, I put the moving piece into the pocket panel through the slit, and next I put each little flap into a small slit. Next I pulled on the tab to interlock the elements, I made sure that everything was aligned between the tabs, and finally I closed the pocket.

Next I took my background panel and cut a frame out of it, I applied double sided tape at the back of this frame along the four edges, and I stuck it on the pocket. Next I stuck the pocket on a white card base using double sided tape, as well as the remaining piece of background using foam tape.



To ground my scene, I cut two grass borders that I colored using shabby shutters and peeled paint distress inks. I first applied the light color shabby shutters on the whole element, and next I added peeled paint from the top to bring more depth to those borders. And like always I added texture by mixing the same inks with water.

One more element for my background: I cut a rectangle to create the pond and colored it using tumbled glass and broken china distress inks.

I stamped my sentiment "You are my sunshine" on the smallest grass border using black versafine ink and next I adhered everything below the interactive frame.



Next I stamped additional images on neenah solar white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink and before coloring them, I changed the ducks into mallard ducks, using a pencil first and then my memento pen. When the coloring was done, I stuck everything on my panel using glue dots, foam squares and also liquid glue.

To complete the scene and make the sky less empty, I stamped more raindrops below each cloud using hickory smoke distress ink again. I attached the dragonflies using liquid glue and next I added white highlights on the images to make them pop a little bit more.

Next I cut the tab handle out of black cardstock and attached it at the very end of the tab using double sided tape, and finally I added a teeny tiny white nuvo drop in the center of each flower, and some morning dew nuvo drops in the sky.

Hello Bluebird - Party on the farm + Farmland background

Hi there,

For today's card I used the new Party on the farm stamp set and Farmland Background stamp to create a cute birthday scene.

I first started by coloring a 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panel using several distress inks: scattered straw, wild honey and spiced marmalade for the sky, and shabby shutters and peeled paint for the grass. Next I taped my panel in my misti tool in order to stamp the Farmland Background three times using potting soil ink.

I stamped the images using potting soil ink again, and I colored everything using my spectrum noir markers. When it was done, I stuck my panel on a card base and next I attached the images using a combination of foam squares and liquid glue.

I stamped my sentiment "Happy Birthday", and finally I added the last details: white blizzard nuvo drops at the top of each little hat, and glossy accents on the balloons to make then super shiny.

Lawn Fawn - Year Ten Magic Picture Changer Card

Hey there,

Today's card features the small Year Ten stamp set, and I also created Mexican hats myself to make this little scene cuter. Hope you'll like it!

I started with a 5,5 x 4,25" stitched panel to create the background. I used several distress inks: squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade, abandoned coral and candied apple.

And to ground my little scene, I die cut two wavy borders and used antique linen and vintage photo distress inks to create sand borders.

Next I created the interactive part of my card. I cut two pieces of strathmore bristol cardstock: a long panel for the pocket die and a short one for the moving piece die. I marked the windows using a pencil and next I moved on to the stamping.

On the long panel, I stamped the cacti only. On the short panel, I placed the cacti and the flower on top, with the door of my misti tool I picked up the flower only, I removed the cacti and stamped the flower. And I did the same thing for the two other flowers. Next I cut masks for the flowers using the coordinating die, I placed the cacti on top and stamped it.

I also cut masks for the two cacti using the coordinating die and I used the same inks as before to create backgrounds on both panels. I removed the masks, and because of those masks, some of the lines were not connected so I simply used my memento pen to join all the lines.

And next I colored the images using my alcohol markers like always. When the coloring was done, I added white highlights on the images using my white gel pen, I taped the dies on the panels and sent everything to my die cut machine.

On the long panel, I started by folding the tabs using a bone folder in order to make them very flat. I applied double sided tape on those tabs, front and back and next I removed the backing paper from the inside and I folded the tabs again to stick them. I applied powder on the flaps and also along the tabs to help the mechanism to work nicely, I folded the pocket panel in half on the score line, next I put the moving piece into the pocket panel through the slit, and I put each flap into a small slit.

I pulled on the tab to interlock the pieces, I made sure everything was aligned between the tabs, and finally I removed the backing paper and folded the pocket panel to totally close it.

Next I took my background panel and cut a frame out of it, I applied thin double sided tape at the back of it on the four edges, and then I attached this frame to the pocket.

I cut a card base out of paper bag cardstock, and I stuck the remaining pieces of the background as well as the pocket on this card base using foam tape and double sided tape. I also attached the sand borders. And on the smaller one, I stamped "Hope your birthday is on point" using jet black ink.

Next I stamped and colored additional images. I created the hats myself by using the bottom part of a stamp from the Hats off to you stamp set. First using a pencil and I went back on the lines using my memento pen.

When the coloring was done, I fussy cut the hats and used the coordinating dies to cut the other images. And I attached everything on my panel. Next I added white highlights on the images, and finally I cut the tab handle out of chili pepper cardstock, I stuck it at the very top of the tab and for the arrow, I used sunflower cardstock.

Hello Bluebird - Meadow Bunnies + Pathway Background

Hello there,

I'm back with a cute and happy card featuring a sweet little bunny from the Meadow Bunnies stamp set as well as the Pathway Background stamp. Like always, you will find my video at the end of this post.

So I first started by stamping the Pathway Background on white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly brown ink. And I colored the whole scene using my alcohol markers, except for the sky because I knew that I wanted to use distress inks to create one. And when the coloring was done, I fussy cut the background to cut the sky out.

For the sky, I wanted to create like a sunset sky, a sky at the end of the day so I used scattered straw, tumbled glass and broken china distress inks on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches smooth white panel and I first applied scattered straw on one half of the paper. Next I applied tumbled glass on the other half towards the scattered straw section and I blended both colors together. And finally, I added more contrast to that sky by applying a little bit of broken china distress at the top.

Like always, I created texture to give more interest to my background. First some splatters of water that I dried using a paper towel, next I mixed tumbled glass and broken china distress inks with water and I created some splatters on my panel.

When the background was dry, I applied foam tape at the back of the Pathway image to create dimension and I attached it to the panel. I trimmed off the excess of paper, and next I stamped additional images: a bunny and two butterflies from the Meadow Bunnies stamp set. I used the same brown ink as before, and I colored them using my alcohol markers again.

I fussy cut the bunny and butterflies and next I placed my panel in my misti tool in order to stamp my sentiment "Oh happy day!" I stuck my panel on a card base, and then I attached the images using foam squares for the bunny and liquid glue for the butterflies.

Next I used my white gel pen to bring more light on some parts of the scene, and finally I added a few morning dew nuvo drops on the sky section for an extra touch of shine.
