Big Hugs Pop-Up!!

 


Happy Friday everyone! It is such a fun week, it is time for the Fall Release week at Lawn Fawn!!!! Today we are sharing projects using the super fun and adorable new Big Hugs Pop-Up die.



I began by die cutting the pieces to create the cute teddy bears, next I added color to the die-cut pieces using Distress Inks. I then die-cut all the layers to create the scene inside and for the front of the card. 


It is such a fun interactive feature on the inside of your card.


Thank you very much for stopping by.
 I hope you all have a blessed day.

Spec-TACO-lar Birthday Wishes

Hi there friends!!! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. It's Mix it up Monday and today we're celebrating my favorite way...TACOS!!! I love the new taco cart add on to the Lawn Fawn Treat Cart series. It's so fun and makes me giggle because Mexican food is my favorite!

Lawn Fawn Treat Cart Taco

So today, I chose a few images from the Treat Cart original set and the Taco Cart add on set, stamped and colored them. Then I used coordinating ides to cut it all out and a little liquid glue to assemble the pieces together.

Then I snagged the Mama Elephant Scallop Circles dies and cut the stitched circle from white with the two back layers from orange and green. Such a festive color combo! I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together and ink blended a little yellow in the center of the circle to take off the harsh white background.

Next, I took a piece of white cardstock measuring 4x5.25 inches and spritzed it with Distress Oxide spray and Distress Spritz for color and shimmer. Then I took my Lawn Fawn jalapeno ink pad direct to the edges of my card base for texture and color. While that was drying I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment and cut it up into sentiment strips.

For assembly, I popped the orange panel up with foam tape, then popped the circle up on that. The taco stand is glued directly to the circle and the critters are popped up with foam squares. Last, I added the sentiment strips with foam strips filling in some of the white spaces. For finishing touches today I just added white gel pen highlights to the images.

What's your favorite type of food? The one that makes you happy dance in your seat...

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

You're Tops in my Book


 Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Today I'm mixing some really fun bookish products together. I have a very special librarian in my life who I needed a card for so this was extra fun to pull together.

Waffle Flower Open Book Die

I started by die cutting and inking up the Waffle Flower Open Book die and stencils. I used blending brushes and Lawn Fawn dye inks to color the layers. It was so much fun! I can't believe it took me this long to give it a try. I'm for sure hooked and excited to make some with the new Christmas stencils too!

Once that portion was finished I pulled out the Concord and 9th Wood Plank embossing folder for my background panel. I trimmed it down to 4x5.25 inches after it was embossed and inked it lightly with gray to bring out the texture.

Next, I pulled out the Lawn Fawn Little Woodland Library stamps and dies to choose the sweet reading critters to place around my open storybook. After those were stamped, colored and die cut I moved on to assembling the parts together.

Wanting a little contrast I added deep sea ink to my card front before popping the wood plank panel up with foam tape. Then I glued the storybook down with liquid glue and popped up my critters and sentiment strip with foam squares and strips.

For finishing touches I just added a little glossy accents on the worm's glasses and white gel pen highlights on all the stamped images.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Take Card Friend

 I love to stencil on colored cardstock.  Here's how I was inspired today:



Here is what I'm featuring today:
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Teacups | Layered Stencil 2 Pk
  • Waffle Flower Crafts - Paper Hugs | stamp or combo stamp & die
I started off with lilac A2 cardstock panel. This is actually my 2nd panel that I did for today's project.  My first color combo was darker than I wanted.  These are the Distress Oxides I used for my card:
  • Mowed Lawn
  • Dusty Concord

Once you have your color palette figured out, cards can be designed fairly quickly.


Thank you so much for stopping by!
