CIC #364: Lawn Fawn Sunflowers

I needed a mail-friendly birthday card and was inspired by the picture from

Cupcake Inspirations this week.

 

I used an older  Lawn Fawn set.

I used the masking technique to layer the flowers.

I colored them with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.

The banner is by My Favorite Things.

 

I used shiny fabric paint to dot the centers and glossy accents on the vase.

Be a Little Shellfish

Finally out for the summer and hoping to get a little crafty a little more often!

Played with my Lawn Fawn circle frames and new shellfish set to make a

little shaker card.

I water colored the background and added darker paint splatters

as well as drops of glossy accents for a wet look.

Just a Note

 

 

Sometimes I find it hard to use the busier patterns in a paper pad.

This is what I came up with for a general note card.

Papers including the notepad paper are by Lawn Fawn.

Letter stamps are "Harold's ABCs" by Lawn Fawn.

Enjoy Today

Lots of birthdays in the family this spring.

The papers are from my stash.

The cupcake stamp was paper pieced to create layers.

I love those little chipboard banners.

The "icing" has a bit of Wink of Stella.

Brewin' Up Bday Wishes!

 

 

Sharing a card I made for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Spring Edition.

I was inspired by the colors for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #352.

 

I used distress inks on the background and then spritzed it with water.

The cup and sentiment are by Reverse Confetti.

The cup is on a spring wobble so it moves! 

It is on my Instagram account at @kelbertram

CIC270: Lawn Fawn Birthday card

Played along with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 270.

I was going to be literal and use balloons, but then I saw the speech bubble stamps and dies in my stash by Lawn Fawn and thought they'd be fun to use!

Been a while since I had made a shaped card so off I went...

I used the circle stacking dies and scallop stacking dies by Lawn Fawn for the card base.

The bubble/bird stamps and dies are also by Lawn Fawn.

The inks are by Simon Says Stamp (the Cotton Candy ink is easier to see in real life).

I colored the birdies with Copics and Spectrum Noir markers and 

added a wee bit of Stickles to their cute little rumps.

Composition Books

Hello!

Back to school for both boys.  

One is in second grade and the other is in half-day kindergarten.

All of the sides are covered but I didn't photograph the others.

 

Supplies:

Papers: DCWV and Paper Studio

Other: MM flowers, Jolee's thumb tacks, mod podge

CI132 and SSS: Halloween card

Hello!

Sharing a Halloween card using K and Company's Spooktacular stack.

I distressed the edges of the purple mat for some texture.

I cut out the sentiment and spider out of extra paper and raised them with dimensional foam.

I added google eyes to Mr. Spider.

Such a cute variety of monsters in the stack of papers and the border strips.

Inspired by the Cupcake Inspiration challenge blog photo to mix and match them!

I am submitting this card into the following challenges:
Cupcake Inspiration #132: photo inspiration
Simon Says Stamp Challenge:  Halloween/Goth

I have attempted to make the kitties shown in the photo. 

I'll share them another time!   I must say, they aren't bad at all.

Actually look like kitties! 

Thanks for looking,

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #88

Hi there.  I made different Christmas card from the other I posted.  This card was inspired by the photo below for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #88 generously sponsored by Lawn Fawn.   I had a holly leaf stamp in a Stampin Up set that went perfectly with the challenge so I dusted it off and went to off to play!  Love this paper stack by MME!  Love my Labels Eight die set here by Spellbinders.  I have Labels One on my wish list. 
I've been nice so we'll see what Santa brings!
