A tisket, a tasket

 

This card combines stenciling with paper piecing to convey the season without words. I stenciled the sky using Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and Lawn Fawn’s Cloudy stencil, then trimmed it with Lawn Fawn’s largest Stitched Rectangle.I then inked a panel with Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough and trimmed it with the largest Stitched Rectangle and a Grassy Hillside Border. The basket is also by Lawn Fawn, their Eggcellent Easter Basket. I cut the outline from white and filled it in with the different colors. The large eggs are the Mini Egg set by Waffle Flower.

Out of This World!

 This week's cards are gifts for two of my nephews. Their mom says they are always excited to see what my cards do, so I made them special slider cards with their interests. The younger one likes mythology and the older one likes space. I also made my granddaughter a space card, since that's what she's into. Hers has a rocket ship that takes off from the moon when you pull a tab. All of the interactive designs and stamp sets are from Lawn Fawn, and were colored with Copic markers. The clouds behind the dragon were done in Gina K. inks and the galaxy with Distress Inks and Oxides. I hope they like them!

Have a Happy Day!

 This little bear is properly dressed for sliding down rainbows! This card was created for a Lawn Fawn color challenge using the four colors you see in the rainbow plus the yellow of the sun. I ink blended the background in Distress Ink Tumbled Glass, and then used Distress Oxides in Broken China, Prize Ribbon, Wilted Violet, and Picked Raspberry for the rainbow and Squeezed Lemonade for the sun. The little bear is from Lawn Fawn's Beary Rainy Day stamp set and was colored with Copic markers and cut out with the coordinating die. The sentiment is from the same set. I finished off the card with some sequins from Trinity Stamps.

Happy St. Patrick's Day a little early!

 

May the luck of the Irish be with you! This card uses some shamrock patterned paper I had in my stash, textured green cardstock, and bright white cardstock. The die is by CZ Designs for Simon Says Stamp and the sentiment is from a Newton's Nook set. The green sequins are from Trinity Stamps Plastic Pine Tree set. I used Wink of Stella clear to paint all the white shamrock outlines, though you can't tell in the picture. The sentiment was stamped with Distress Ink in Pine Needles.

Yeti, set, shake!

 This adorable yeti from Yeti, Set, Go by Lawn Fawn just wants to know if he can hug you! I stenciled the backgrounds with Broken China Distress Oxide and the Lawn Fawn Snow Flurries stencil, then went over the whole paper with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added some silver splatters. I use the largest Large Stitched Rectangle to cut out the top and bottom of the shaker, and also cut a scrap of Pixie Dust cardstock with the rectangle and then with the Slimline Stitched Hillside border die. The trees are also from Yeti, Set, Go, and they and the yeti were colored with Copic markers after stamping with Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the yeti shimmers with a coat of Wink of Stella clear. The shaker bits are from Trinity Stamps and the sentiment from Yeti, Set, Go was stamped on an Everyday Sentiment Banner made from a scrap from cutting out the card itself.

Hoping that if you don't have a yeti, you have someone to hug you and keep you warm during this cold weather.

Shades of orange

This card is an entry in Lawn Fawn's monochrome challenge. I chose to ink a background with Distress Ink in Spiced Marmalade and then stencil with the same shade in Distress Oxide using the Fall Leaves Background stencil. The pumpkins and sentiment are from the Simply Celebrate Fall stamp set. The pumpkins were colored with Copic markers and I inked the background of the sentiment, then cut it out with the Everyday Sentiment Banners die.
