Lawn Fawn - Easter Card - Chocolate Bunnies

dimanche 16 avril 2017

Hey there!

Recently I've been inspired by an Easter card from Elena from Black Sheep 303. It was a pop-up card with "chocolate bunnies", and I wanted to create one or two as well. So here they are!


I first started by creating my own pattern paper using a carrot stamp from Lawn Fawn. It was my first time using this stamp set and I wonder why I haven't use it before because it is super cute!


To make the edges of my panel even cuter, I used a scalloped rectangle. Then I stamped the bunnies and colored them using alcohol markers. I also die cut a little rectangle to stamp and heat emboss my sentiment on.

Before attaching my sentiment, I wrapped my carrot paper with some natural hemp cord, and glued it to the green paper using fun foam and liquid glue to get some nice dimension.


I attached the whole panel to some heavy white cardstock, adhered my two little bunnies on each side of the banner using foam squares and added black enamel accents to their eyes and noses to make them look more adorable.

Lawn Fawn - Cupcakes Sprinkled with Joy - Shaker Card

lundi 3 avril 2017

Hello there!

Please someone stop me from making all these shaker cards because it's starting to be a serious addiction! xD


I first started by die cutting three little windows in a cute multicolor polka dot paper. Then I marked the three spaces so I would know where to attached the foam strips. I also glued a piece of clear acetate at the back of the polka dot paper using double sided tape.


I stamped the cupcakes on white cardstock using a Copic friendly black ink because I wanted to use my alcohol markers. So I colored the cupcakes and cut them using the coordinating dies.

I filled the three little spaces with sequins and beads that would match the colors of each cupcake, attached the polka dot paper on top of it, and glued each cupcake on a window.


Then I created my sentiment using gold embossing powder, and created a banner I could attach with the glitter ribbon and twine I was planning to tie on the left side of the panel. 


I attached the whole panel on white cardstock using my favorite double sided tape, and added a touche of clear glitter on each cupcake.

Wplus9 - Flowers & Glitter

mardi 21 mars 2017

Hey there!

Here is a new birthday card. It's quite simple and I used my favorite technique: embossing powder + watercoloring, but I love that beautiful stamp set!


I first started by die cutting a stitched scallop rectangle in watercolor paper. I stamped my image using my misti tool and versamark ink, and gold heat embossed it. Then I colored my flowers using distress inks.


To create my sentiment, I die cut the word Birthday one time from gold glitter paper, three times from white cardstock to create a dimensional effect, glued the four pieces together and attached the finished word on my panel using liquid glue. I stamped the word Happy on white cardstock, gold heat embossed it, and attached it to the panel using foam squares.


I attached my panel on some yellow cardstock, glued the whole piece on a white card base and added some clear droplets to finish the card.

My Favorite Things - St Patrick's Parade - Shaker Card

vendredi 17 mars 2017

Hello there!

Here is a new shaker card -yes I know, again, but I think they're my favorite to make, they're so fun- to celebrate St Patrick's day. I also use Spectrum Noir markers for the first time, and I have to say that I really enjoyed coloring my little mice with them!


I first started by preparing my two main papers. I die cut three windows from a green pattern paper (I switched it later in the process for a brighter one) and two scallop borders from a white rectangle.

I stamped my three little mice on white cardstock using my misti tool and an alcohol marker friendly black ink, colored them using Spectrum Noir markers and cut them using the coordinating dies.


Next step: I started to build the shaker card. I glued a piece of clear acetate at the back of my green panel using double sided tape. And then I attached several thin strips of foam tape to create three spaces for my shaker material.


With all the sequins, beads, etc... in their little area, I applied white glue to the foam strips and attached another piece of the same bright green patter paper. Then I stamped my sentiment under the three little windows using my misti tool. It wouldn't stamp correctly because of the foam under it, so I fixed the letters with a black pen off camera.


I attached the mice using double sided tape and liquid glue, and then the green panel on the white scallop piece. I finally attached the whole thing on a white card base, glued some clear sequins, and added black dots on the eyes and white on the tails to finish the card.

Under the Sea Card Series w/ Lawn Fawn - Waving Hello - Shaker Card

mercredi 1 mars 2017

Hey there!

Here is the first card of a new series called "Under the Sea". Through the years but more recently, I've been gathering some stamp sets and other stuff representing fishes, mermaids and other pretty things we find under the sea, so I thought it would be fun to make several projects using all this stuff!

To create the frame, I first started by cutting one circle using two circle dies. I taped together the circle frame and the middle piece at the back and applied my favorite "sea/ocean" colors of distress inks. And as it is an "under the sea" scene, I splattered some water to create a nice effect.


It's a shaker card, so in order to build it, I cut a circle from fun foam and a piece of acetate that I attached to my frame using thin double sided tape.

Then I stamped all the sea weeds using a bunch of bright inks and cut them using the coordinating dies. I placed them around my middle piece and attached them using mini glue dots.


I stamped my sentiment and some bubbles directly on the acetate using my misti tool and black non slick ink, and my little turtle on watercolor paper using black waterproof ink. I colored this cutie using my watercolor pens and cut it using the coordinating die.

I attached my sea weed panel on a circle that I colored with blue distress ink off camera. Placed a bunch of clear droplets on it and glued my frame on top using liquid glue.

I attached my panel on a white card base cut at the same size, and glued my turtle on the acetate using double sided tape. And voilà!
