Jungle-Themed Thank You Card...

 

Hello everyone. Happy Wednesday.  I am sharing this jungle-themed thank you card with you today using the awesome Giant Thanks So Much die from Lawn Fawn.

I created this card as part of a set of the thank you cards I made for my sister's baby shower. The moment I saw the theme and the Backdrop Tropical Leaves die from Lawn Fawn I thought it would be perfect. 

I die cut the leaves backdrop and added color to the leaves using Lawn Fawn ink. The colors are Cilantro, Jalapeno, and Noble Fir. Next, I die-cut the base layer using the Lawn Fawn Simple Stripes: Portrait die from white cardstock. I then glued the die cut strips to the base layer die-cut using the largest rectangle from the Basic Rectangles Creative Cuts die set from Mama Elephant. 

I hope you like the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for stopping by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day. Please feel welcome to visit me on my blog, IG or Pinterest.

Hello from Toni: Avery Elle Crocodile Birthday

Hello, everyone!  I'm in need of a lot of color as it's so dreary here in the PNW during the winter months. It’s rainy and dark so much of the time but at least there’s holiday decorations to brighten things up.

And, thus, I present to you a cheerful birthday card for one of my great nephews (as in my niece's son although he's also a great kid too!).  

I used MFT Party Time 6x6 paper as a backdrop for the fun and fabulous Avery Elle Oh Snap alligator.

I colored him up with Copics, adding little dots of color to break up all that green.  Isn't he fun?!

Did you notice that the inside of his mouth is cut out? That outline die is totally worth it! I love being able to see the patterned paper behind.

The critter is placed on top of a stylized balloon, complete with string. I think that's a really fun touch.

For the sentiment I used Mama Elephant Let's Chat speech bubbles.

I hope this card brighened up your day as much as it did mine.  I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Merry Christmas with Avery Elle...

Hello everyone. Happy Wednesday.  It is almost Christmas, yay!! I am sharing this card with you today using the super cute Mr. & Mrs. Claus stamp set by Avery Elle. 

I started by coloring the images I would use. Along with the Mr. & Mrs. Claus stamp set, I used the tree from the Peek-A-Boo Christmas Train stamp set, and the bow from the Christmas Mice stamp set.   I used Copic markers to color the images. 

Copics Used: 

C9, W7, W5, W3, W2

G94, YG67, YG63, YG03, 

BG13, BG11, BG10, E40, E41

R46, R27, R14, R05

Next, I used the larger of the rectangles from the Basic Rectangles Creative Cuts die set to die-cut the base layer for the card. You can also use this set to create the frame for the card. Next, I used the smaller rectangle from the Wonky Stitches Elle-ments die set to die-cut the smaller panel for the center of the card. I then used the same die to die-cut another panel from white cardstock. I used the Slimline Stitched Hillside Border dies to die cut the snowy layers.  I then heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of vellum. 

I hope you like the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for stopping by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day. Please feel welcome to visit me on my blog, IG or Pinterest.

Hello from Toni: Pinkfresh Gradiating Floral

Hello, everyone! I felt like a complete change of pace from the slog of holiday cards so worked up this fun number using Pinkfresh Studio Be Strong and Pinkfresh Studio Color Block: Gradiating Stripes.

I cut out the Pinkfresh Studio Color Block: Gradiating Stripes in a sturdy white cardstock then sponged them rainbow-style with a twist using Distress Oxide Spun Sugar, Worn Liptstick, Picked Raspberry, Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Prize Ribbon, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover, and Pine Needles.

I mounted them onto a card base that I had used Scor-Tape on then had burnished glitter onto. It's a subtle bling and I loves it.

I had intended to color up the Pinkfresh Studio Be Strong images but decided to leave them plain since the background was so colorful. It's like reverse popping.

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Gingerbread-Themed Advent Calendar with Lawn Fawn...

 

Hello everyone. Happy Wednesday.  I wanted to share the advent calendar I created for this year. I used the adorable Tiny Gift Box, Build A House Gingerbread Add-on, and the Tiny Gift Box Bee Add-On dies from Lawn Fawn to create these gingerbread-themed treat boxes. 

I started by die-cutting the layers to create each of the 25 little boxes, and the gingerbread faces. Along with the  Tiny Gift Box Bee Add-On, I used the Christmas hat from the Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-on, the numbers are from the Oliver's Stitched 123s, and the scalloped tags are from the Tiny Tags die set. 

After die cutting each of the layers, I added color to each one using Gathered Twigs, Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks, and Walnut Lawn Fawn ink. 

I filled up the little boxes with Reese's Pieces, and Rolo candies. 

I hope you like the project I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for stopping by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day. Please feel welcome to visit me on my blog, IG or Pinterest.

Hello from Toni: Modern Lawn Fawn Snowflake

Hi, everyone!  Today's card used alchol inks which I haven't used in what feels like a coon's age.

Do they still include a packet of glossy cardstock to print photos when you buy a new printer?  That's what I used here; I also use those for gelli prints.

Anyway, I randomly dropped Adirondack Tim Holtz Raspberry Alcohol Ink, Adirondack Tim Holtz Gold Alcohol Ink Mixative, and Ranger Tim Holtz Turquoise Alcohol Ink onto the paper then used my Copic Airbrush to move the ink around.

It's so cool that you can continue to add drops and blow them this way and that for a really unique look.

I added the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Snowflake as well as the Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Scripts sentiment embossed white on black (love that font!).

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Fun Merry Christmas with Avery Elle...

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday!! I am sharing this card that is an inspiration from a previous card I had shared using the adorable Fall Picnic stamp set from Avery Elle. I love the images in this set so much that I knew I would want to create a Christmas-themed card with these images. 

I started by coloring the images from the set. I once again used the tree from the Peek-A-Boo Christmas Train stamp set, I also used some of the images from the  Mr. & Mrs. Claus stamp set, the bow, and tray of cookies are from the Christmas Mice set. 

Copic Markers Used:

G00, G02, G05, G09, G12, G16, G28, G85

E40, E41, E31, E55, E84, E87, YR30

W1, W2, W00

R46, R27, R05

Next, I die-cut the base layer for the card using the Basic Rectangles Creative die. You can also die-cut a frame using the two largest dies from the set. Next, I die-cut a snowy layer using the Slimline Simple Stitched Hillside Borders set. I added color to the sky area using Blue Jay, and Deep Sea Lawn Fawn inks. I then embossed the sentiment onto a strip of vellum using Versamark ink and white embossing powder.

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day.  Please feel welcome to visit me on my blog, IG or Pinterest.

Hello from Toni: Mama Elephant Slim Presents

Hi, my lovelies! Today's card is interactive and cute and fun and cute.  Did I say that already? LOL.

I'm used the Mama Elephant Slim Peeking Presents dies, cutting out the presents from Sunny Studio All Is Bright 6x6 Paper. 

I have to say I love the bow options in the die set.  So smartly done! I also like the variety of tags. I stamped these with Mama Elephant Mini Merry Messages.

For the inside of the presents, I sponged Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina on the card base, adding snow with a Posca pen. I also added snowy hills by hand cutting printer paper to size.

I used the Lawn Fawn Magic Holiday Messages for the center and colored up images from Mama Elephant Little Gnome Agenda and Mama Elephant Little Girl Gnome Agenda with Copics for the sides. Those gnomes are so flippin' cute!

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Merry Christmas with Lawn Fawn...

  

Happy Wednesday and happy December everyone! I have a super fun Christmas-themed card to share with you today. I used the Giant Merry Christmas die. This is such an awesome die, it makes creating Christmas-themed cards fast and fun. 

I began by die-cutting all of the layers to create the card and tag. I die-cut the base panel for the card using the Basic Rectangles dies set. Then, I used the Simple Stripes Diagonal die to create the red and white striped background. Next, I used the  Backdrop Stitched Snowflake die for the mini shaker area. For the tag, I used the Jolly Christmas Tree die. 

 For the sentiment, I used the Fancy Wavy Banners die set, and the Merry Messages, and the Tiny Tag Sayings stamp sets.  

I hope you enjoy this set I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day. Please feel welcome to visit me on my blog, IG or Pinterest.

Hello from Toni: Dinosaur Christmas

Greetings, friends! I love dinosaurs and had to, absolutely had to, make a couple of dino holiday cards.

Aren't they the cutest? I kept the design CAS for both cards. I had intended to make them one layer as well but forgot to mask for the Lawn Fawn Christmas Fishes hats so fussy cut those and added later.

The blue card uses Mama Elephant Me and My Dinosaur. I liked the larger body for being able to draw in more lights and add bigger presents.  I used Copics B00, B01, B02, B04, B18, N1, R05, R08.

The second card uses Avery Elle Rawr. So cute!  It occurred to me after that I could have masked off some of his spots and drew in another light strand in its place. I used Copics G28, N1, R27, R29, R39, Y02, Y08, YG13, YG41, YG45.

I cobbled together the sentiment from Avery Elle Rawr and Lawn Fawn Merry Messages. Don't be afraid to snip your sentiment stamps to get exactly what you want!

I'll see you again soon.  If you'd like to check out my other creations in the meantime, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.
