Funny get well card for my brother in law

My brother in law just got a long awaited kidney transplant on Sunday. He waited 10 years and our prayers were finally answered. He's a very funny lighthearted guy so my get well card needed to be the same. I used Lawn Fawn, critters in the burbs and partly cloudy. I used cotton for the clouds, flock for the tree and parts of the dog and glossy accents for the sun. I hope he likes it!

Beach Day

Here is a cute card I made using the new Beach Day set by Penny Black. Isn't she the cutest? I colored her with Copics and covered the sun with stickles and glossy accents. I also covered her whole floatie with glossy accents to give it that rubber look.

Surfs up

Doesn't this image make you want to go surfing? This was made with the Penny Black set Fun in the Sun. She's just too cute for words!

Fun in the Sun

A made this using an adorable stamp set by Penny Black called Fun in the Sun. This set is a must have!! Too cute!

Mimi in Paris

Here is a cute card made using Penny Black's Mimi in Paris. I wanted to make the doggie fuzzy so I used white flock and I used purple twine for the leash and handbag handle.

Sending Smiles

Here is another card using Hero Arts Sending Smiles set. Isn't she a cutie? She reminds me of my daughter who is 6 1/2 and loves to play in the garden.

Cute as a Button

I purchased this cute stamp set by Hero Arts called Sending Smiles. I coupled it will Lawn Fawn's Blissful Botanicals, Say Cheese and Sew Lovely. I used DCWV Mango Frost paper. I love how bright and cheerful it turned out.

Have Fun & Ready for Summer

I got into the summer mood one night and decided to make a few summer related cards using Lawn Fawn's Swimsuit Season & Harolds ABCs. I had also just gotten my mini sewing machine and "needed" an excuse to play with it. Don't they make you want to grab a cold drink, put your swimsuit on and go outside? I live in California so it's been in the high 80's lately and beautiful. 

Happy Birthday

Here is a Happy Birthday Card I made using Lawn Fawn's Critters in the Forrest, Bake me a Cake, Hats Off to you and Admit One. My goal was to keep it very natural looking but still fun!


Thank you card

I made this thank you card using Lawn Fawn's Judy Blooms, Bannerific and Sophie's Sentiments.

Father's Day Card

Now that Father's day has come and gone, I can finally post the Father's day card I made my husband. I made this using the Lawn Fawn set "Say Cheese" and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Here is the FRONT of the card. I used our recent Easter pictures.
 Here is the INSIDE all the way open. I made a trail of hearts to stand for our love flowing down and making our children.
 Here is a close up of the top part of the inside. Our love "the beginning"
 Here is the lower portion of the inside. These are the pics of my husband and our 2 kids on the day they were each born. "Our Princess" and "The Boy". For these pictures I printed the pictures directly on white paper at 2.5 x 2.5. I added a text box right under the picture and printed that all together. Then I stamped the Poloroid picture directly around what I had printed. Since the stamp is clear it was easy to line up.

Father's Day Card

Here is a card I made for my co-worker for her dad on Father's day. They have 9 children so I used my CTMH Stick figure stamps and created the 9 kids (5 boys and 4 girls) I used Say Cheese for the Picture frame.

Another 6 yr olds bday Card

This was the bday card I made for my 6 yr old nephew. (2 parties in one weekend) I used Lawn Fawn Admit one for the balloons, Schoolhouse backdrops for the part where the name is and Quinn's ABC's for the letters of the name. The stars are also stamps I used to make the background.

Happy Birthday Card for 6yr old

Just Wavin' Hello

Here is another card I made using my new Lawn Fawn stamps. This one was made using "Critters Under the Sea" aren't they adorable? I wanted to use the WHOLE pack of stamps which I did minus one sentiment. All the animals are colored with Copics. I used stickles on the top of the waves and glossy accents on some of the animals and the bubbles. I also inked every other layer of the paper for more color contrast.  This was definately a fun card to make. I've included a few angles of pictures to show the gloss and glitter.

Critters in the Forest- Hello FOXY!!

Here is my final finished card from the weekend and my FAVORITE! I made this card for my sister in law 'just cause'. She stopped by my house to pick up the Dora invites I made and saw this stamp set sitting out. Of course she loved all the images so after she left I set out to make her a card with ALL the images from the "Critters in the forest" Lawn Fawn stamp set, all colored with Copics. Here is what I came up with. The clouds are from the "Bon Voyage" stamp set and the grass is cut using the Martha Stewart border punch.
 Here is a close up of the colored images on the front. "Day time" I used a cup to cut out a corner of paper for the sun. The rays, I just free handed them but cutting triangles.  
 I had to make the inside just as cute. I made it "Night time" in the inside. I used white ink and a sponge to fill in the clouds. I also used the same light blue paper in the inside but inked it with a darker blue ink for a night sky.

 Here is the card and the matching envelope. I love my Martha Stewart scor board.

Crusing through Life

Another card I made using my new Lawn Fawn stamps. This set is called "Cruising through life" and is one of their Summer releases! I again used copics to color the image. Of couse I added a little bling :-)


Lunar Lights

I had fun going through all my new Lawn Fawn stamps and breaking out the copics for some much needed coloring this weekend. I made this simple card using Lawn Fawn "Lunar Lights" stamp set, copics and some glossy accents! The paper is DCWV Mango Frost.

Bday card for my Hubby!

I'm not sure if it's just me or all card makers but it's more difficult to make cards for my husband then anyone else. The reason being is that he sees ALL my work, he knows what I can do and giving him something simple to me just isn't "FAIR" lol I always want to make his cards a little bit extra special. So on May 17th he turned 31. I racked my brain for days on what to make him. Then I came up with this card. It is still somewhat a simple card but I added a few touches to make it special. I used Lawn Fawn bake me a cake stamp set for this one and the Celebrations paper stack which is adorable!!! So step one, I paper pieced the whole cake. Step two was making 2 layers have a 3 and a 1 for 31 :-) and the final step and you really have to look for it is there are...... 31 candles!! Of course he counted cause he didn't believe me lol

 Here is a close up of the cake.

Thank-Whooooooo

I felt like being crafty this past weekend and made this card for a friend of mine whooooo loves Owls. I just bought these adorable Lawn Fawn stamp set called Critters in the Forest and Bon Voyage. I haven't colored with my copics in a while either so it was fun to make this card. The paper is an ECCO stack.

The owl and log are from the Critters in the Forest set. The clouds are from Bon Voyage. I colored the owl and log as separate images using copics and cut each one out individually. The grass I created with the Martha Stewart grass border punch. I layed the bottom layer, glued the log on top, then layered the 2nd layer of grass. The owl I layed with a pop dot. The sentiment is also from the Critters in the Forest stamp set. I used natural twine to tie it all together for that natural foresty look :-)

Because the front was so cute, I had to make the inside just as cute :-) I used the same 2 sets to design the inside. Hope you like it.
