I have a striking birthday card today on the SHC blog featuring some homemade background paper and the MFT Birthday Chicks stamp set. There are several products I use to create striped backgrounds like this one – the Altenew Classy Stripes stencil, the Concord & 9th Stripes and Sayings stamp or MFT Black and White Stripes Paper are just a couple of them. Six months…
Today’s card is for a friend that just moved into a new home. The Lawn Fawn Toadally Awesome set is perfect for saying congrats! I started out by creating a circular mask from some acetate and a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die so I could use a stencil. I used some Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink to blend on a gradient within the circle….
I was given the challenge to create some new baby cards this week by a family member, so I made two mini scene cards based around the Lawn Fawn Plus One stamp set. I started out with two A6 panels of Lawn Fawn Sticky Note cardstock. For some background detail, I stamped one with a small star from the Plus One stamp set and…
I’m back today with a fun underwater scene card combining two Lawn Fawn stamp sets: Duh Nuh and You Are Sublime. An extra layer of acetate makes it more tank-like! I started out by stamping the characters from both sets in some MFT Extreme Black ink onto some blending cardstock. I then coloured them in with my alcohol markers, keeping to bright greens, oranges and…
One of the bonuses of having a sort out of your stamps is that you find some older sets that perhaps you didn’t get quite as much use out of them that you should. My friend Lesley Oman (owner of Heffy Doodle and HungryHeffy) often plays Stamp Roulette to give the muse a few prompts with some unusual combinations. Now…
Hello, all. Spring is definitely in the air here and it’s getting close to Easter so my card today over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog is inspired by some cute little bunnies from the Lawn Fawn Some Bunny stamp set. It’s not quite the right time of year here to be harvesting carrots, but that doesn’t stop these little…
My card today over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog is inspired by those fun-loving dragons from a rocky town called Berk! I love these cute little dragons from the Mama Elephant sets Me and My Dragon and Dragon Wishes. I stamped this family of dragons out with some MFT Extreme Black Ink onto some blending cardstock. I actually only…
Hello, happy Wednesday! I’m back over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog with this bright and foxy card featuring the Waffle Flower Be Her stamp set. I have a relative who loves foxes and her birthday is just around the corner! I started out by stamping the cute little fox from the set onto some blending cardstock with some Copic-friendly…
I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with this cute little ‘sorry I forgot your birthday’ gnome card featuring the new Lawn Fawn ‘Oh Gnome!’ set. I have a couple of friends who love gnomes and have their birthdays within a few days of each other, so I’m preparing in advance to forget to send them a card!…
Happy Wednesday! I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog again today with this cute little birthday scene card featuring the Wild Ones stamp set from Neat & Tangled and a couple of Lawn Fawn and MFT products. I started out by stamping the giraffe, monkey, tortoise and bird from the Neat & Tangled Wild Ones set with some MFT…
I’m over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog again on this frosty, snowy day with a colourful birthday card. My Nan needs a little cheer in her life at the moment and this card featuring the Avery Elle Party Pals stamp set, with a few accessories and sentiments from the Avery Elle Peek-a-Boo Pals set, is sure to put a…
Last week saw one last effort to create some clean and simple (CAS), quick but stunning homemade Christmas cards. I love the classic kraft look with traditional festive colours so all of these cards I posted over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today follow the same simple design. I managed to create twenty cards following this same basic design. This one featuring the ‘Oh What Fun’ stamp set from Lawn Fawn is my favourite!
