Fun to create a river fishing scene for a recent customer birthday card.
Best Fishes
Lawn Fawn
Herd of … Farm Animals?
Masculine cards are always tricky for me…how much sparkle to add? I did manage to incorporate a little bit of glitter paper so that was a win!
Images and sentiments
- I used images from Katzelkraft Farm Animals and coloured them with Copics. I know sheep aren’t blue and chickens aren’t green but hey they look good!
- Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Speech Bubbles are die cut out of glitter paper and coloured cardstock.
- Sentiments are from the Reveal Wheel and Spring sentiment sets.
Other items
- I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Popup with Grassy Hills add on cut out of grass themed patterned paper.
- The front of the card was simply Distress Inks blended over My Favorite Things Clouds and Grass stencils.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Rawr-some
Ready for another box card? This time I used Uniquely Creative Stamps and Dies and Crafters Choice Minerals patterned paper.
Images
- All the images are from Uniquely Creative stamp set – Dino Pals and are coloured with copic markers. Cut out with matching dies. I particularly love how the dies cut the lava as well as the volcano.
Other items
- Box Card template is Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop Up. I cut the front panel down slightly so I could layer the inserts with more depth. This makes the images easier to see
- Tag for writing message on (see very last photo) made with the Mama Elephant Tags Alot and Lawn Fawn Stitched Gift Card Pocket.
Sentiment
- Front sentiment – hand cut tag, stamped sentiment from Uniquely Creative Block Outline Sentiments in Versamark and heat embossed with Hero Arts White embossing powder.
- Back Sentiments – Die cut speech bubbles with Uniquely Creative Selfie Frames Dies and stamped with the sentiments from the Dino Pals set and heat embossed.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Aloha…ready for a party?
Box cards are a great way to use up patterened paper, expecially those gorgeous double sided paper pads. I’ll be entering this card in the current AAA Birthday Card Challenge.
Images
- All the images are from Avery Elle stamp sets – Tropics, Tweet Tweet and Market Stand.
- The leaves and flowers are stamped with Altenew Inks, a little bit of copic colouring and Nuvo Crystal Drops in White for the centres of the flowers. All the other images are copic coloured.
- The overlay for the front of the Tiki Bar is a Kaisercraft Texture Woven die, coloured with copics and cut down to fit.
Other items
- Patterned paper is from DCWV Tropicana.
- Box Card template is Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop Up.
- Tag for writing message on (see very last photo) made with the Mama Elephant Tags Alot and Lawn Fawn Stitched Gift Card Pocket.
- Highlights to images drawn with Signo Gel Pen in White.
Sentiment
- Die cut tags out of patterned paper and translucent vellum with Sizzix Triplits Banner dies, stamp sentiment in Versafine Claire Nocturne, layered and stapled to font.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Musical twist challenge
I’m really enjoying entering more card challenges this year. This card is for the current AAA Cards Case Game #134.
Images
- Stamped Penny Black Jazzy Cats image onto paper appropriate to use with coloured pencils with Versafine Nocturne ink.
- Colour with Prismacolor coloured pencils. Cat – 945 Sienna Brown, 997 Beige, 944, Terra Cotta, 937 Tuscan Red, 928 Blush Pink, 1014 Deco Pink. Cello – 941 Light Umber, 946 Dark Brown, 947 Dark Umber, Black.
- Fussy cut by hand.
Tip 1: When fussy cutting image by hand you can be left with the white core of the cardstock showing around the edge. Run a black marker around the outside edge of the image to hide the white. This can hide some not so perfect cutting as well.
Other items
- Using Lawn Fawn Little Music Notes die set, diecut the notes out of glitter cardstock.
- Diecut the music paper lines out of foiled cardstock.
- Adhere the notes to the music lines with liquid glue
Sentiment
- Place the cardbase (kraft cardstock) in a Mini Misti.
- Temporarily place the image and die cuts on the cardbase.
- Position the Uniquely Creative Block Outline sentiment where you wish to stamp it and pick up with the misti door (see Tip 2 below)
- Remove image and die cuts and stamp with Versafine Nocturne ink.
- Coloured with Prismacolor coloured pencils – 905 Aquamarine, 1027 Peacock Blue.
Tip 2: The sentiment was orignally “You Totally Rock” but this was too long for what I wanted so I cut it apart and justs used the “You Rock”. Don’t panic too much doing this…you can still use the entire original sentiment another time – the cut ends will match up.
Background
- When I fussy cut the cat image I cut off the whiskers as they would have been fiddly to cut around. To add them back into the image I just restamped the cat onto the background kraft cardstock and will adhere cutout image over the top.
Finishing
- Using ATG adhere background to card base.
- Adhere music notes to cardbase using liquid glue.
- Adhere cat over prestamped image with dimensional foam.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Have a Mice Day
A fun card made for a friend turning 60. I love Penny Black images but have only just purchased my first stamp sets (more than one of course) that I managed to source in New Zealand. This one is from the Especially Micey set.
Images
- Stamp images onto copic cardstock with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink.
- Coloured with Copics W0, W1, W3, W5, B00, B000, B02, B24, B26, B29, R14, R 27, R46, R89, V99, R20, R00.
- Cut out with Brother Scanncut DX1200.
Die cuts
- Colour white cardstock with blue and red copics.
- Cut Happy Birthday out of blue cardstock using Penny Black Happy Birthday die. Cut again out of blue craft foam and adhere cardstock on top of fun foam.
- Using Lawn Fawn Party Balloons dies cut a heart balloon out of red card.
- Using My Favorite Things Little Numbers Dienamics cut “60” and the baloon string out of Satin Silver cardstock. Adhere to balloon shape.
Background
- Using Taylored Expressions Cross Stitch embossing folder emboss
warm grey cardstock. This matches the Warm Greys used to colour the mice.
Finishing
- Using ATG adhere background to card base.
- Adhere the mice and balloon to card with dimensional foam tape. I used thin foam so the card wasn’t too bulky with the extra thickness of the craft foam.
- Using Ranger Multi Medium Matte liquid glue adhere Happy Birthday.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Trio from Sunny Studio Stamps
Loving this Sunny Studio stamp set ‘Breakfast Puns‘.
Card Number One
This could be an unconventional engagement/wedding card don’t you think. The frame was a die cut by Craftwise and I removed the letters, coloured them with a copic and replaced them back into the frame. The patterned paper was from Core’dinations Dots and Stripes.
Card Number Two
Simple layout but I love it. The LOVE diecut is from the same die set as Card Number One and I cut it out in black glitter cardstock with layered it with craft foam behind to give some dimension. The patterned paper was from Rosie’s Studio Soul and Shine.
Card Number Three
I Loaf You…I really do! Simple layout again and added the black glitter heart left over from the LOVE diecut in Card Number Two. This patterned paper is from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow paper pad.
Was really fun to create these three cards and I hope you enjoyed them.
