Bunny Birthday Card

I made this bunny Happy Birthday card for my friend. I colored some white cardstock with blue Distress Oxide ink, and then stamped the bunny over it using Versafine Black Onyx ink. I colored the bunny with Prismacolor pencils. Here is the card.

Supply List:

Pink Ink Designs Hare Stamp
Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set
Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy die
Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banners die
Versafine Black Onyx ink
Alt E New Halftone Happy stamp set
Distress Oxide inks
Glossy Accents
Prismacolor Pencils
IO Bunny stamp
Bossy Joscie Crafty Goods Handcrafted By personalized stamp

I created the background by distressing blue Distress Oxide Ink onto cardstock, and then stamped floral and butterflies images using the same blue Distress Oxide Ink as well. After matting the squares with black ink, I layered the two squares together and put them onto a card panel. I also stamped out and die cut the Happy and Birthday sentiments from Lawn Fawn's Happy Happy Happy stamp set. I highlighted some of the bunny's face with Glossy Accents and stickles.

I used Alt E New's Halftone Happy stamp set to stamp out the sentiment for the inside. Here is a photo of what the inside looked like.

Happy Birthday Melisa! I hope you enjoy the card and your gift!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!

Happiness Project Happy Thoughts Bunny Card

My card today honors a friend of mine who has a Happiness Project. I made this bunny Happy Thoughts card to let her know I am thinking of her. Let's check out the card.

Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy die

I am new to Pink Ink Designs stamps. I saw this Hare stamp and had to get it! I LOVE it! I searched YouTube and found some Pink Ink Designs videos, and was inspired by them. I started with a white piece of cardstock. I blended on Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink to the entire cardstock. I stamped the bunny with Versafine Black Onyx ink. I also stamped the bunny a second time, on a smaller piece of blended colored cardstock. I cut the cardstock into squares (a full-size, and a smaller square to highlight the face). I stamped some of the floral and butterfly images from the stamp set in several Distress Oxide inks. I colored the bunny with Prismacolor pencils, right over the ink blended background. I colored the eyes green, which makes me happy! After finishing the coloring, I layered the face square over the full card panel, after matting both squares with black cardstock. I stamped out the Happy and Thoughts sentiments using Lawn Fawn's Happy Happy Happy stamp set, and die cut the sentiments. I added Glossy Accents over the bunny's eyes, nose, and mouth. I also added sparkly stickles over the whiskers and butterflies.

I stamped some floral images from an IO bunny stamp set inside, and used the sentiment from that stamp set too. It makes me laugh!

I hope my friend likes this card, and knows that I am thrilled for her Happiness Project! It is a lot of work on her part, but she has framed the work well, knowing that the hard work she does improves happiness for her, her staff, and all of us who get to be made happy from her hard work. Thanks so much Roslyn!!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!

Little Flowers Birthday Card

Hello! Today's card is a birthday card for a dear friend ... I wanted to do something happy and bright, and this card was what I created. I used the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge: Card Sketch as the inspiration, and I will be entering it into that challenge too. I am on a total Quilted Backdrop kick right now and die cut it from white cardstock, and layered it over some orange cardstock as a base. I also used Lawn Fawn's Little Flowers die cuts and Grassy Borders to create the center image. I die cut Lawn Fawn's Happy Birthday Border in two colors and glued them to the image too. And, stamped out a sentiment from a Lawn Fawn stamp set, and banner, and die cut the banner.

Dad's "The Jerk" Birthday Card

Hi! Today's card is a birthday card for my Dad. One of his favorite movies is "The Jerk" with Steve Martin. And right now, Lawn Fawnatics Challenge is to make a card inspired by a Book, Movie, or Song. Thus, this birthday card for Dad! I hope he likes it ... and gets it. Let's check out the card.

Supply List:

Lawn Fawn Peekaboo Backdrop die
Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink
Lawn Fawn Fake Tan ink
Lawn Fawn Moonstone ink
Lawn Fawn Raspberry ink
Lawn Fawn Artichoke ink
Lawn Fawn Dad's Day stamp set (retired)

Lawn Fawn Year Three stamp set
Bossy Joscie Crafty Goods Handcrafted By personalized stamp

Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen

Tonic Tim Holtz Stamp Platform

Tonic 12" Wide Base Craft Guillotine

Tonic Easy Clean Craft Mat

My plan was to create a few memorable scenes from the movie. I started by cutting out a panel using the Peekaboo Backdrop die. Then, I created little vignettes inside each panel. The first one is a memorable sentiment. Remember towards the end, when Navin R Johnson is walking around, saying, "All I need is ... " and he picks up some things? And keeps grabbing other random stuff he sees? This scene cracks me up! I stamped out that part of the sentiment using the (retired) Clark's ABCs stamp set.

One of the things that Navin R Johnson says is he needs this chair. He picks it up and carries it around as he grabs a paddle ball and other things. I didn't have a chair the right size, so I used the lounge chair in the retired Dad's Day stamp set, and stamped it with Fake Tan ink since the chair is kinda orange in that scene in the movie.

And, remember the scene when he is in the bathtub, with his dog (I can't say the real name here, but in the censored version, his name is "Stupid"), and he is spouting his feelings out to his girlfriend? Welp, had to capture that scene too! I used the boy and dog from Bicycle Built for Two, and the bubble bath, tub, and bubbles from Rub a Dub Dub.

And, Navin R Johnson ends up working in a carnival. He has to engineer the kiddie train and he hates every second of it. I used the ferris wheel from Admit One (retired), the boy from Bicycle Built for Two, and the trains from Coaster Critters.

For the inside, I used Big Scripty Words and Clark's ABCs for the sentiment, and stamped them using Jet Black, Raspberry, and Artichoke inks. I also stamped the cake and slice from Year Three and colored them to look like chocolate cake, my Dad's favorite cake flavor.

I hope Dad gets this, and figures out it is an homage to "The Jerk" ... and that I don't think HE is a jerk! Hahaha.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!

Ahoy, Matey Interactive Birthday Card

Hi! Today's card was so much fun to make! I made this for my good friend who is young at heart. I figured this would make him chuckle, and it is interactive, which makes it even more fun. I used Lawn Fawn's Ahoy, Matey stamp set, and used the matching lawn cuts too. I also used the new Lawn Fawn Let's Toast Pull Tab Add-On interactive slider die too ... you will get to see what appears further below! Let's check out this card.

Supply List:

Lawn Fawn Ahoy, Matey stamp set
Lawn Fawn Ahoy, Matey lawn cuts
Lawn Fawn Let's Toast Pull Tab Add-On
Sparkle N Sprinkle Sparkle embossing powder
Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink

Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Versamark ink
Gina K Design inks
Anti Static Bag
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Copic markers
Distress inks
Bossy Joscie Crafty Goods Handcrafted By personalized stamp

Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive

Nuvo Smooth Precision Glue Pen

Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen
Tonic Tim Holtz Stamp Platform

Tonic Tangerine machine

Tonic 12" Wide Base Craft Guillotine

Tonic Easy Clean Craft Mat

I started by stamping out the images, using my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, and Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink, a Copic-friendly ink. I colored the images, and then replaced them back inside the stamp platform and inked them up with Versafine Black Onyx ink, and then sprinkled on Sparkle N Sprinkle's Sparkle embossing powder, and heat set them. I then die cut out the images using the matching lawn cuts (dies). I also stamped some of the stamp set images, with brown ink, onto cardstock panels. Then, I cut the edges of the cardstock panels to make the edges look distressed and "old map-like" and then blended some brown distress ink to the edges. I also spritzed a bit of water onto the cardstock panels, and then blotted the water drops away to give some more distressing and texturing to the background cardstock panels. I figured out where I wanted to place my images, and the slider surprise element, and then die cut the slider mechanism and die cut the "slit" portion onto the cardstock background panel. I attached everything together, and my slider was ready!

I die cut the "arrow pull tab" and colored it with blue Copic marker and attached it to the edge of the pull tab mechanism. Here is what happens, when you pull up on the pull tab ... the treasure slides out from behind the palm trees! So much fun!!!

For the inside, I stamped out some sentiments using a Gina K Design ink, and then stamped it again with Versamark ink, and sprinkled on more Sparkle embossing powder and heat set it. I layered it inside the card, and this card was done!

I really enjoyed this card - I like how it turned out, and the interactive piece makes me smile. I hope the birthday boy enjoys his card.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!

Fairy Godmother Thanks card

Hello! Today's card is a thank you card that I made for my "fairy godmother" ... I have a work colleague that gives me advice and supports me on a project, and I call him my Fairy Godmother! This card is for him. Let's check it out.

Supply List:

Impression Obsession Free Spirit Dot Solid background stamp
Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose stamp set
Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose dies
Heartfelt Creations 3D Rose Shaping Mold
Birch Press Design Big Thanks Sugar Script die
Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends stamp set
Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink
Copic markers
assorted inks
Dries Clear adhesive
Bossy Joscie Crafty Goods Handcrafted By personalized stamp

Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen

Tonic Tim Holtz Stamp Platform

Tonic Tangerine machine

Tonic 12" Wide Base Craft Guillotine

Tonic Easy Clean Craft Mat

I inked up the Impression Obsession Free Spirit Dot Solid background stamp, and stamped it onto a card panel. I didn't make it a solid ink color, to give the background a bit of softness. I stamped out Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose stamps onto colored cardstock with colored inks, and then die cut them using the matching Classic Rose dies. I then shaped them in the 3D Classic Rose Shaping Mold (a MUST HAVE!, these make the flower petals shape so well!), and layered the flowers and adhered them with Dries Clear glue, and adhered them to the front of the card. I die cut out the Birch Press Design Big Thanks Sugar Script die sentiment (with white cardstock) and background (with black cardstock). I layered them together, and swiped some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss onto the sentiment to give it some extra sparkle! This photo shows the sparkle, but it is really hard to capture on camera, and is much more shimmery in person.

Because this is for my Fairy Godmother, I had to put a fairy in the card! Lawn Fawn's Fairy Friends stamp set was perfect for this! I stamped a fairy, her wand, some sparkles, and a sentiment, all from the Fairy Friends stamp set, using Lawn Fawn's Jet Black ink, on a card panel inside the card. I colored the fairy with Copic markers and added some dress dots with a white gel pen. I dabbed a teeny bit of Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss pen inside each of the sparkles.

Here is a close up of the fairy. I also swiped some gold ink around the edges of the card panel too, to give it a little bit something extra.

My Fairy Godmother gives me awesome advice and helps me out quite a bit. I really appreciate his advice and help. Thank you, Mike! I hope you enjoyed this card and appreciate all those special people in your life that give you a boost in life.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a magical day!
