Thankful For Each Moment with You with Avery Elle...

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday!! I am sharing this sweet fall-themed card using the adorable Fall Picnic stamp set from Avery Elle. I love the images in this set. 

I started by coloring the images from the set, and the tree from the Mr. & Mrs. Claus stamp set using Copic markers. I also used the tree from the Peek-A-Boo Christmas Train stamp set. 

Copic Markers Used: 

Y21, YR23, YR24, YR27, E99

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

E40, E41, E31, E55, E84, E87, YR30

I then die-cut the base layer for the card using the Basic Rectangles Creative die. I also die-cut a frame using the two largest dies from the set. Next, I die-cut a grassy border using the grass border from the Mushroom Border die set, and the hill border using the hillside from the Slimline Simple Stitched Hillside Borders set. I added color to the grassy border using Lucky Clover Distress ink, and Noble Fir Lawn Fawn ink. For the ground area, I used Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs, and Ground Espresso 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: Avery Elle Holiday

Hello, everyone! It's getting colder and getting closer . . . to Christmas!  Have you been building a stash of holiday cards? I certainly have, including these using Avery Elle Christmas Critters.

Each card uses Lawn Fawn Let It Shine 6x6 Paper and Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes cut from the scraps.  The new LF Let It Shine Snowflakes 6x6 Paper is a perfect substitute.

I cut a vellum circle to anchor the deer a bit. So cute, isn't it?  I colored the deer up with Copics in keeping with the paper colors.  Frankly I was surprised I liked the beige paper color but it so works. But, of course, it does; it's Lawn Fawn!

For the second card I used the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics to make the hill. Beige hill?!  Heck, yes!

On both of these cards, I love the glimmer of the foil on the cardstock and used Stickles to add additional bling.

I hope you enjoyed today's cards!  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.

Fall-Themed Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn...

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday!! I am sharing this super fun autumn-themed birthday card. We have lots of birthdays this month, and I knew I had to use the beautiful Fall Leaves Backdrop die for this card. 

I started by die-cutting the base layer for the card using the awesome Simple Stripes: Portrait die. I also die-cut a coordinating tag using the Say What? Gift Tags die set, the frame for the card can be created using the Basic Rectangles Creative cuts die set. Next, I used the Fall Leaves Backdrop die to die cut the leafy border, and then I used the Giant Happy Birthday die to die-cut the sentiment. I added a bit of color to the blue cardstock areas using Lawn Fawn ink, I used Blue Jay and Deep Sea. 

For the orange/rust color, I used Pumpkin Spice, Chili Pepper, and Walnut. 

Next, I used the leaves from the Magic Iris Fall Leaves Add-on to decorate the coordinating tag. I used the 'for you' phrase from the Shutter Card Add-on die set for the sentiment on the tag. I then used the Fancy Wavy Banners die to die-cut the banner for the card. The sentiment is from the You Autumn Know stamp set. 

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 Corner Flowers

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a couple of cards using the Mama Elephant Corner Flowers set. The images are so pretty!

My first card uses the Mama Elephant Leafy Cover with the Mama Elephant Oval Deco Frame as a centerpiece.  I had to nip off just a tiny bit of leaves to accommodate the oval.

I embossed the Pinkfresh Studio You Can Change the World sentiment on vellum and adhered it to the frame before adhering the lot to the card front.  

I added the watercolored Mama Elephant Corner Flowers and a few Lawn Fawn Mushroom House butterflies to finish the card.

Not one to waste an opportunity, I used the outer portion of the Mama Elephant Oval Deco Frame die to create a shaker border for the second card.

I stamped the Mama Elephant Wishing You sentiment on the card base with Versafine Onyx Black and added the Mama Elephant Corner Flowers on top of the shaker frame.

I hope you were inspired by today's cards.  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.

I'm Thankful For You with Lawn Fawn...

Hello and happy Wednesday everyone. I am sharing this fall-themed card with you today. I used the wonderful new Pumpkin House and the Backdrop Fall Leaves dies. 

I began by die cutting the layers to create the pumpkin house. I used foam tape to glue the pieces together, I also used the cute scallop trim from the Build A House Gingerbread Add-on die set. I added a bit of color the orange layers using Carrot, Fake Tan, Pumpkin Spice Lawn Fawn inks, and Rusty Hinge Distress ink. 

Next, I die-cut the leafy border layer using the beautiful Backdrop Fall Leaves die. I added color to the leaves using the same color inks I used for the orange layers of the pumpkin house, I also used a bit of Peacock, Walnut, and Pizza Crust Lawn Fawn inks.

I then used the Quilted Backdrop die to die-cut the base panel for the card. I layered it over a piece of white cardstock, then matted that onto kraft cardstock. The sentiment is from the You Autumn Know stamp set, and the banner is from the Fancy Wavy Banners die set. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you very 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: Honey Bee Autumn Truck

Hello, my lovelies!  Thanks for stopping by.  Today I have a softly colored card celebrating Autumn, my favorite time of year! 

I adhered a piece of Honey Bee Sweet on You 6x6 Paper onto my card base. I love the warm peachy tones of this.  I then put down a piece of vellum grass cut with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border die and lightly sponged with Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina on the back. A strip of kraft cardstock serves as a dirt road of sorts.

Next I colored up the Honey Bee Little Pickup and a few pumpkins with Zig Real Brush Markers 042, 043, 052, 070, and 092. Isn't that blue divine against the peach tones?

I used another strip of vellum behind the Honey Bee Autumn diecut and embossed the Honey Bee Autumn stamp on kraft. 

I hope you enjoyed today's card.  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.

Hello from Toni: Sugar Pea Designs Foxes

Hello, Doodlebugs fans!  Today we're going to have fun with another cute shaker. I just can't help making these. Flat shakers without having to use all that foam tape is so easy!

I used the Lawn Fawn Four Square Backdrop with kraft cardstock and adhered an acetate panel beneath.  I placed 1/8" Scor-Tape along the backdrop so as to create individual shaker windows. 

I stamped the sentiment on the card base using Versafine Vintage Sepia, the perfect shade of brown. I then added a few sequins on the card base roughly in the center of each window then adhered the front acetate panel.  Boom--flat shaker!

I colored up the Sugar Pea Designs Fall Fox images with Copics. Each little window has its own fox scene.  Aren't they so 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.
