Gleeful Gardens Card Set

Hi everyone! It's Yuki here with a super cute card set featuring the new "Gleeful Gardens" set. For this card set, I decided to use the same layout and design and just switch up the images and sentiments.

I started off by using two of the smaller stitched rectangle dies to cut a frame from dark brown cardstock. I used the smaller of the two rectangle dies to die cut the sky from light blue cardstock. I then used the stitched hillside border dies to cut three hills from olive cardstock.


I glued the sky and grassy hills directly onto the background panel and used foam tape to mount the frames for a little added dimension. I then colored all of the images using Copic Markers and cut them out using the coordinating dies.

 
For the background panel, I used the A2-sized stitched rectangle die to cut three pieces of ivory cardstock. I then used a stitched border die to shorten the width of the panels. I then stamped the sentiments directly onto the panels. I die cut thin strips of pattern paper from the "Let's Polka: Mon Amie" using the medium stitched scalloped border and adhered the strips behind the background panels. To finish the cards, I mounted all of the layers onto khaki cardbases using foam tape.

Die-cut Inlay featuring Lawn Fawn Notecards

Hi everyone!! Kari here!! Well, It is the second Tues. of a new month AND a new year!  So, I am back to share another project with you.  Today, I wanted to showcase the Lawn Fawn Note cards - or Lawn Fawndamentals Notecards for the "official" title of these fun cards.  If you are like me, sometimes you don't have the time to pull out a ton of supplies to make a quick card.  These note cards are the perfect size and perfect start to make that quick card.

I've taken two of the many colors to choose from, the Walnut and the Mermaid, and I wanted to keep these cards relatively flat, so I have incorporated the die-cut inlay technique to each card.  I used the smallest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Dies, and the bracket die that comes in the Large Journaling card die set, and I die cut these shapes right on the front of each note card that leaves the negative space.  From here, I thought it would be fun to choose a couple of different patterns of paper both from the Snow Day and Sweater Weather 6x6 paper pads to use to die cut those same shapes, and lay them back in those negative spaces as you see below.

Before I added the pattern papers, for stability, and also a "base" for my papers to stick to, I added a light weight piece of white card stock on the backside of the card front.  Once I have in-laid the pattern papers, I stamped a sentiment in each of the middle rectangle, and both sentiments come from the "Argyle Backdrops" stamp set.  To finish off each card, I added a little embellishment to each one.  For the Mermaid card I used the Lawn Fawn Sequins in the snowflake shapes, and for the Walnut I used one of the leaf wood veneers, and I altered it a bit by added a little Versa Mark ink, and embossed the edges with gold embossing powder, and then I adhered them to my cards.  Simple but fun cards, and these note cards were a great starting point!

Remember we have a fun new challenge going on!!  So, hope you are able to get crafty and link up your Winter Themed project!!  See you soon!!
