Unbelievable Birthday Card Trio

Good morning, crafty friends! It's Christy here with a masculine (or unisex) birthday card trio to share with you all. Since I never seem to have enough birthday cards when I need them, I've started making several at once. Though I still enjoy making each card unique, I don't mind making them a little bit similar. In fact, that even makes them seem like part of a set, although I still typically send them out to different people.

For this trio, I particularly needed some masculine birthday cards, so I pulled out one of my favorite sets, Lovable Legends, and combined it with some elements from Party Animal to give them some extra party pizazz. I colored all the images in with Copic markers.

Today is the last day to enter our Color Scheme Challenge sponsored by Lawn Fawn. The winner will receive a FREE stamp set of their choice, so be sure to check it out!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Hello

Good morning, Samantha here with a cheerful under the sea card for you. I created a simple scene using a variety of Lawn Fawn Products. The sea was created with layers of multiple pattern papers and colored vellum. I tucked the kraken under a portion of the vellum to create dimension. Transparent enamel dots were attached to the top of the vellum to create a bubbly sea. Orange pattern paper was used for the "hello" sentiment from the "Yay Kites- Lawn Cuts". The sentiment had to be cut down slightly so it did not overlap the kraken. 

Materials Used:

Beachside Petite Paper Pack

Let's Polka Mon Amie Petite Paper Pack

Lovable Legends 

Stitched Journaling Card

Yay Kites - Lawn Cuts

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Lovable legend

Hello.

Its Kate here today and I have a shaped card to share.

This card also fits our Calling all critters challenge sponsored by Ellen Hutson.

There is still plenty of time to join in  :) 

To make my shaped card I first made a white top fold card blank.

Then used the stitched party banners Lawn cuts and placed the largest one on to my card base but with the top edge just over the top of the card. 

I die cut, running through the big shot a few times to get a good cut through both sides of the card base.

I like this shaped card as it still stands nicely.

Using the smaller banner die I cut the patterned panel and added it to the card base.

I've used the Lovable legends stamp set and coloured with my favourite Inktense pencils and a water brush.

To finish I added some twine, clear wink of stella and some enamel dots.

Thanks for looking.

You're A Legend with Christy

Hey friends! It's Christy here with another card I made for our current Sketch Challenge. Today is the last day to enter, so if you haven't already, hopefully this inspiration will push you over the edge! Did you know that sketches are open to interpretation? You can flip them upside down or on their side or swap out one shape for another.

For my card, I replaced the two diagonal stripes with a set of footprints from Lawn Fawn's Lovable Legends.  I used Doe ink to stamp them, and Jalapeño and Noble Fir for the trees. I pulled out the old classic Bannerific to stamp my sentiment in, and colored Bigfoot with Copic markers. Distress Inks set the stage for the background panel and a little water splatter gave it some fun texture.

I hope you like it! Hurry up and post your own projects before the inlinkz closes tonight. Happy crafting!

Have an Unbelievable Birthday!

Hello there!  Audrey here with an unbelievable birthday card for you using the new Lovable Legends stamp set and coordinating dies!

I just LOVE this little Big Foot, and couldn't wait to ink him up!  I started off by diecutting a piece of white card stock using the largest die in the Small Stitched Rectangles Stackables die set.  Then I used Tumbled Glass and Vintage Photo distress inks to sponge a  background.  I also splattered some Vintage Photo along the bottom dirt line, and added some clean clear water droplets to give more dimension.  I stamped, colored and diecut the big foot, trees, party hat, and a few sets of foot prints from the Lovable Legends stamp set.  I added some white gel pen accents, and accents with copic markers to the solid stamped images.  Then I diecut some clouds using the Puffy Clouds border dies.  They are cut from white cardstock and again from vellum.  I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set on the white cloud, and popped that up on the panel with foam tape.  Then I adhered all of the other pieces to my scene with either foam tape or a glue pen.  The little big foot looked empty handed, so I stamped the balloon from the Year Four stamp set, and fussy cut it out to pop up.  Finally, I matted the panel on brown cardstock, and popped the matted panel up on a kraft card base using foam tape.

That's all for me today!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Cheers! Color Splash and a Video!

Hey! Chrissie here! I was inspired by the Color Splash Challenge, so I created this card:

I kept everything monotone except the foiled die cut! Please watch the video below (or on my You Tube Channel) to see how I created it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Interactive Legends!

Good morning, Jess here with a card featuring my new favorite Lawn Fawn stamp set, Lovable Legends!  I can't stop playing with these stamps...Nessie and the Kraken are SO cute!!  A few days ago I was looking at the stamp set and thought it'd be fun to make an interactive "spinning" card with the Kraken!  I decided to make a birthday card to celebrate Lawn Fawn's 6th birthday!

To create my card I stamped the Kraken in versafine and heat-embossed him with clear embossing powder.  Then I used my Scan N Cut to cut him out with a slight border.  I colored him with copics and added some accents with googly eyes and a white gel pen.  Next I adhered two pennies and foam mounting dots to the back of the Kraken to create my spinning piece.  The order of elements on the back of the Kraken is: Kraken, foam mounting dot, penny, thin foam mounting dot, penny and the track will go in between the pennies.

Then I used the Ocean Waves border dies to die-cut several blue patterned papers from Lawn Fawn to create depth in my ocean.  I stamped the sentiment onto the darkest paper and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  I used a spinner die to create my wavy track but you could use a craft knife to cut that shape.  I carefully bent the paper slightly so that I could insert the spinning Kraken and then used (cough) six layers of foam tape to put my card together.  The dark blue sky and light blue polka dot layer are adhered together with regular adhesive.  Then there is a double layer of foam tape adhering the diagonal polka dot layer which allows room for the back of the spinning element.  There are four layers of foam tape adhering the dark blue checkerboard paper to the card which allows the front of the spinning Kraken to move freely (the googly eyes and foam mounting dot adds thickness to the front of the spinning Kraken).

Finally I stamped the tiny ship with versafine, heat embossed it with clear powder, colored it with copics and fussy cut it.  I adhered it to the top of the waves with foam mounting tape and I love how it gives the Kraken even more depth!  When you hold the card and tilt it the weight of the pennies will cause the Kraken to spin from left to right!  This is definitely not a card that would be easy to send in the mail (due to the six layers of foam tape) but the fun spinning element makes the extra postage worth it! ;)

Thanks so much for visiting today and I hope this card inspires you to give interactive cards a try!  Have a fabulous Monday!

-Jess
