Card Project Featuring Lawn Fawn and Masking!

Hello Everyone!!

Today's project was so fun to make! I have to admit...I haven't done a whole lot of masking. It always seemed so intimidating. So I just thought out my design, gathered lots of supplies, and jumped in!

I used the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fancy Scallop Rectangle Dies to cut the background pieces. The stamp sets used are all from Lawn Fawn. I used Love Letters, Hedgehugs, and Stinkin' Cute. The sweet little mailbox is also from Lawn Fawn and is called Happy Mail. The cute envelopes are included in the Happy Mail die set.

The images were all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used my Clarity Stencil Brushes to brush on Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks. The cute little critters were all colored with Copic markers.

Skunk: W9, W7, W5, W3, W00

Hedgehog: E21, E23, E27, E29

Bird: Y11, Y13, Y17, E23

The adorable little envelopes were finished off with Kat Scrappiness Candy Kisses Sequin Mix.

Please check out the FULL process video below! I've included all the details, masking, and coloring!

Thanks, Kelley;)

2 Projects Featuring Lawn Fawn's Love Letters Stamp Set

Hello Everyone! I have 2 quick and simple cards to share featuring Lawn Fawn's Love Letters Stamp Set. The first, I randomly stamped the sweet little cell phone from the set all over a panel of smooth white card stock. I created simple masks by stamping one cell phone image on a stack of full sticky post it notes. I then fussy cut the image. I only had to cut the image one time, because I used the stack of post it's. I can then pull the post it's apart and use each for a different cell phone mask. If you are wanting to achieve the look of a scene (lots of images that are not alike), then I would use Inkadinkado Masking Paper.

While the images are masked, I added a halo of Distress Ink colors with Clarity Stencil Brushes. After removing the masks I added just a tad of shading on the cell phones with my C3 and C00 Copic Markers. You could totally leave this step out. I stamped the mini hearts, also from the stamp set to fill in the empty spaces.

I prepped a strip of black card stock with my anti-static powder tool and then using my Stampaholic Stamping Tool, I stamped the greeting with some Versamark sticky ink. I then coated the greeting with white embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool.

I finished this card up by embellishing it with some Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, and Kat Scrappiness Mini Mix It Up Sequin Mix.

For the second card, I did some simple stamping using different images from the same Lawn Fawn Love Letters Stamp Set. I stamped the open envelope first, then the little birds. I filled in the rest of the panel with the closed envelope image. I added some very simple Copic coloring, and some Clear Wink of Stella for a little shimmer. Last but not least, I cut the entire panel using the beautiful new Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fancy Scallop Rectangle Die. I love the uniqueness of these dies. They add so much interest to the edges of your cards. Just look at how pretty the white panel is layered on the red card stock!!!

Snowman Thank You!

Hello and Happy New Year!

The cards I'm sharing today were created to give as thank you cards for Christmas gifts and goodies. I made two different card backgrounds. Both were started by stamping snowflakes from the Honey Bee Stamps "Let It Snow" stamp set. I set them all up on an acrylic block and stamped them onto watercolor paper using Versamark sticky ink. They were then covered with white embossing powder and heat set. I used the Kat Scrappiness Nested Rectangle Embossed Rope Dies to die cut both backgrounds. I love these dies. They add a wonderful stitched detail, and are so unique from others I've seen.

The card background above was made using the Clarity Stencil Brushes. These brushes are not only great to use with your craft stencils, but also to brush on color evenly. I brushed on three different colors of Distress Inks, going from dark at the bottom to light at the top. Next, I spritzed the whole background with Shimmer Spritz, let it sit for a few seconds, covered with a paper towel, and blotted up the excess. This not only adds texture by pulling up a little of the pigment, but adds an awesome shimmer over the whole piece.

The second card background above was made by smooshing the Distress Inks directly onto acetate or plastic packaging, spritzing with water and then laying or dragging the acetate onto the watercolor card stock. After I got the desired result with the acetate, I then spritzed again with the Shimmer Spritz and blotted with a paper towel.

Both of the cute snowmen were stamped with the Stampaholic Stamping Tool and Momento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored both with Copic Markers, and fussy cut them with small sharp scissors. The first card's greeting is from Honey Bee Stamps Hello Gorgeous Words Dies. The second card's Thank You greeting is from Kat Scrappiness.
